A few years ago when the Muslim cabdrivers at the Minneapolis airport were refusing to carry passengers who had alcohol, several people pointed out that it would set a dangerous precedent to allow cabbies to select passengers according to Sharia rules. If a cabdriver could reject a passenger who was holding a bottle of whiskey, he could reject a passenger who was eating a ham sandwich, or an unmarried couple, or, as here, a gay couple. And the American principle of equality of access would be overthrown in favor of a religious discrimination that would enshrine Islamic law as a higher law than the law of the land.
And that's why Medhat Mohamed needs to lose his job. As long as the law of the U.S. disallows religious discrimination, his action ought to be seen as such and authorities should act accordingly.
"Crabby cabby boots same-sex lovebirds," in the New York Post, November 4:
An overzealous cabby allegedly booted a gay couple when he spotted the duo sharing a warm embrace in the back of his cold car. Paul Bruno and his partner hailed the yellow cab Monday night at 13th Street and First Avenue and sat close...But the driver, identified by Bruno and city records as Medhat Mohamed, was apparently appalled by their shows of affection -- and pulled the cab over two blocks into the trip.
"You guys have to get out of the taxi! Hugging is not allowed in here!" the driver said, according to Bruno.
"I was shocked," said Bruno, 27, who called the act "discrimination against homosexuals."
"He needs to exercise the rules in which he was employed a little more closely."
Both men said they hoped other cabbies didn't share the same views on an innocent act.
"I don't know if it was a personal or religious thing. But it's never OK to deny anyone a ride, especially when it's such blatant and direct discrimination," added Bruno, a lifelong city resident....

James, do you support gay rights?

James, do you support gay rights?
My point was to show the hypocrisy of many muslims living in the USA.
Many non-muslims bend over backwards to accommodate muslims, and their right to live the way they so choose, their way of life being respected and accommodated, even sharia law, Yet once they are given this, many muslims dont believe much in the same right towards people who are not of the same mindset and beliefs.
Like the majority of people in America , I dont support gay marriage. I believe in the traditional definition of marriage.
I also dont support having sharia law in the USA.

James, Muslims are anti-gay rights. What do you think about that?

that is the whole point of this thread.
read my above post.

So if it's ok for them to do that, what's to say it's not OK for a white cab driver to kick out a black passenger? Very dangerous precedent being set and just further shows how this whole world is bending over backwards to appease the most hard-headed group of people on the planet.

Many religions are anti-gay.

Many religions are anti-gay.
Most muslim countries have outlawed homosexuality and the mass executions of homosexuals is documented in countries like Iran. Mighty different than Christians protesting against homosexuality.

whats funny is the uber liberals are the ones who fight for the pussification of this country in the form of political correctness and then those who they fight for do this ;D ahhhh irony...

Not real liberals. Liberals like Theo van Gogh were Islam's hardest critics on basis of Islam being conservative and anti-democratic. 8)

Those laws aren't new.
Fundamentalist Christians (or most other religions that prohibit homosexuality) would do the same thing if able. The problem is fundamentalism and our immigration policies being too lax. We've been using immigrants to fill unattractive jobs for years to make denying the economy sucks easier, dealing with their values is inevitable.
IMO, a cab driver should do the job without bias but that's not the point here. A story like this isn't even news. It's more or less bootstrapping opposing political agendas to people's alleged outrage over racism against blacks.

Like the majority of people in America , I dont support gay marriage. I believe in the traditional definition of marriage.
Muslims are very strong believers in the traditional definition of marriage.
They feel very strong about issues like abortion, marriage, homosexuality et al.
And they enforce it.
Thoughts on that, James?

You understand American politics very well, LOL!
Pro traditional marriage = pro Muslim = pro Islam = pro terrorist!
It's coming, Z. Liberal Democrats would rather have people believe/argue being against redefining marriage is pro terrorist than any honest discussion.

Doc, that is complete horseshit. Just because two groups believe the same thing on one or two subjects, doesn't make them exactly the same.
You are falling into the trap that is going to be the longterm demise of our country.....lumping ALL religions together. You can't name any other world religion that openly calls for the level of violence that Islam CURRENTLY does. I'm not interested in 500-1000 years ago. I'm talking about right now.
Lumping them together gives them justification for their actions.

There is a big difference between Christianity and Islam.
Christianity has become a fairly broad religion where even gay and abortion activists feel welcome. Some might say it's been diluted. Other could say it's adjusted to the current times. A minority is still fundamentalist though.
Islam on the other hand - is still fundamentalist - by the book.
Some more extreme. Some less. But the Koran is still considered unflawed and is not challenged.

You are spot on.
Yes doc, but fundamentalist Christians aren't currently using the Bible as widespread justifications for war/violence, are they? THAT is the key difference that many can't make.

Actually, Pat Robertson has claimed that the Iraq war is "a righteous cause out of the Bible".
Many people, even on this board, thinks ol' Pat is a jolly Good fellow. ::)

Pat Robertson and the one black dud also argued 'one man, one vote' would be a bad idea in South Africa.

LOL
I love when guys like Pat Robertson bring in the typical alibi negro black guy.
So Pat can sit and say outrageous shit and then point at his black wing guy and say "He's here and OK with it. So that means it's completely legit" ;D
Gotta love the Alibi Black Man.
You can just imagine how Pat Robertson's PR staff sets the whole thing up before the show: "Look, we can't risk coming off as bigots, so we need some kind of Alibi. So we bring our Alibi Black man"

Why do you keep asking what my thoughts are ? I am not the one who is calling for muslims to have sharia law in America. If you want to come here, accept the laws, and dont demand that we make accommodations for your way of living from your old Country. If it was so great in your old Country, then go back.
Just because someone believes in the traditional definition of marriage, does not make them a good person, or someone I would support. I bet the majority of people in our prisons believe in the traditional definition of marriage, So what ? Do you want my "thoughts" on that to ?
-
You guys are helping make my argument. I'm saying that violence is widespread in Islam, there is no question......and you give me a Pat Robertson as a rebuttal? hahaha, come on now. Again, treating Islam as just another religion is the problem.
And doc, if Christians and Muslims are/were the same, then why don't we hear of any Christians dashing into a market in NJ and blowing themselves up? The mentality of the practicioners is completly different.
-
So who is being discriminated against here?
Two gay guys for hugging. (not like they were getting married back there)
Or a Muslim for practicing his religion - Sharia Law?

Fundamentalism is the problem.
Comparing run of the mill practitioners of Christianity, Judaism, or Islam to whackos makes no sense. Especially considering run of the mill Americans aren't nearly that religious and have more important things to do, like look at porn, than blow themselves up.
Fundamentalists have rejected the modern world. What we call a culture that's pretty much based upon consumption and personal gain. How can the two relate?
Major religions have more similarities than differences, Show.

Offhandling just dismissing it is the REAL problem. Modern Christianity, Budhism, etc.... are completly different than modern Islam. To prove my point, go out and research for this calendar year how much violence was perpetuated by fundamentalist Christians throughtout the world. I will bet you money that the number of violent acts commited by muslims in any month you want to choose will exceed that number. and that is the real fundamental problem.

One of the reasons we're killing people in the middle East and Afghanistan right now is because NeoCons believe Jesus will return (physically) to Jerusalem, LOL! Taking that into context means you can easily add up all the people killed in both Iraq wars and Afghanistan. There's no way their fundamentalist whackos have killed more people than our own.
We just don't see it because of the magical formula our culture uses to rate suffering. :)

One of the reasons we're killing people in the middle East and Afghanistan right now is because NeoCons believe Jesus will return (physically) to Jerusalem, LOL! Taking that into context means you can easily add up all the people killed in both Iraq wars and Afghanistan. There's no way their fundamentalist whackos have killed more people than our own.
We just don't see it because of the magical formula our culture uses to rate suffering. :)
Oh dear doc....you honestly believe that we are in the middleeast for some hidden religious agenda? Come on, you are so much better than this. It's purely economic and you know this.

Fundamentalism is the problem.
Comparing run of the mill practitioners of Christianity, Judaism, or Islam to whackos makes no sense. Especially considering run of the mill Americans aren't nearly that religious and have more important things to do, like look at porn, than blow themselves up.
Fundamentalists have rejected the modern world. What we call a culture that's pretty much based upon consumption and personal gain. How can the two relate?
Major religions have more similarities than differences, Show.
See, there are some glaring errors in your wonderful theory. For one, the numbers of fundamentalist Christians pale in comparison to fundamentalist Muslims. Most fundamentalist Christians (people like the pro-lifers) reject violence. You'll be very hard pressed to find a Christian/Jewish/Buddhist/whatever priest giving sermons where they're outright preaching violence and calling for mass murder. However, there are thousands of videos of Muslim clerics doing just that.
Secondly, there are no fundamentalist Christian governments with any sort of military power. Yet there are a dozen+ governments run by extremist Muslims who have the means to field an army and finance terrorism.
The little straw man argument that fundamentalist Christians aren't violent because they can't be is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. ::)

He changes his tune every week. One week it's about oil, the next religion, the third we're being controlled by Israel and obeying our Jewish overlords. Whatever helps to make his argument. ::)

Great post BF. It just bothers me that people lump all religions together, yet there is only one that calls for widespread violence. I think many just have issues with Christianity in general, and use this as a tool to bash it.

No one could ever forget the oil so why bother including it in every post?
Tell you what, BF..... Go visit a few fundamentalist Christian sites and read what their dogma is. After that come back and post, LOL! You're too smart of a guy to pretend there's no religious motivation for us being over there.
We (most Americans) could give two shits about anyone over there and would care even less if there were no oil and Israel were located in Germany after the holocaust. That callousness towards the suffering, perspective, rights, or even basic human dignity of others is one of the things that defines America. :)
I can't recall ever using the term 'overlord', LOL! Really not in my vernacular. Without a doubt the pro-Israel lobby and Neocons are the most powerful influence on our Mid East policy. In my opinion that's a bad thing because their agendas probably aren't good for most Americans who just want good schools, jobs and a piece of the dream. I'm against all spending outside the US that isn't for bombs or to stop immigration and also don't really believe the economy will turn around until we return manufacturing to our shores.
