TAXIS:
Sovereignty Blurred -
*Islamic taxi drivers at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport are refusing passengers carrying alcohol and blind folks with seeing-eye dogs because the animals' saliva is sacrilege according to Sharia law.*
Isn't this a violation of the Civil Rights in Public Accommodations Laws?
If they were operating as privately-hired limos, the Law might favor their POV, but if they're representing themselves as taxis being offered to the Public, their refusal seem transgressive.
They're not saying that they seek comity; they're saying that the Public must submit to their sovereignty which supplants the Principles of Law of the United States. And that's a NO-GO, methinks.
Consult your lawyer, of course.
