| #14 Pull the license, deport their asses and if they have ties to terrorist organizations shoot them. FuckingJeezeLouise I'm tired of being given the shaft so self righteous idiots can get special treatment. |

| #13 bring a bottle of JD, put it on your head. Bring a blind dog and claim it's a Seeing Eye Dog. Sue the Cab companies for all they're worth. Or....better yet, just say: "cut the shit, listen up and do what we say or find a new fuckin' job and new kneecaps to pray on, capisce?" |

| #12 How about if the customers carrying alcohol just put it inside their cases, so the cabbies can't see it? What Allan doesn't know, won't offend him. |

| #11 To repeat, once again, the proper solution: DEPORT THEM IMMEDIATELY TO COUNTRY OF ETHNIC ORIGIN AND BAR FUTURE ENTRY TO US FOR ANY REASON. It's not that hard a problem to figure out. Let's see how good a living they make carrying people away from Mogadishu airport. |

| #10 Several laws are being violated, including Americans with Disabilities Act. Should be enough to preclude eligibility for citizenship. Deport their asses to beautiful downtown Mogadishu. |

| #9 These guys have to queue up to pick up passengers. If they choose not to pick up a passenger for religious reassons, fine, just pull out and circle to the end of the queue. Don't sit and look self righteous, just quietly get out of the queue. If you won't, then you should be arrested for disturbing the peace. |

| #8 While I personally like the 'fire em' line of thought, the other: paint little piggies or different lights or something on the cabs would be just as efficient; let the marketplace decide. Hangs very prominent signage in the airport in the halls that outbound PAX canot miss, that describes the full service vs. NoBoozeTowleHeadCabCompany and let the paying customer decide. i would wager that within 6 months of that shit, there would be a significant drop off in the use of the NBTHCC that a lot of them would seek employment elsewhere. |

| #6 The Muslim community seems to act more like one that expected abuse, didn't get it, and is now trying to push back against percieved weakness. Bingo. It's the old forward drive; as long as they are not opposed resistance, they keep on pressuring. And when they're faced with some, they play the victim card, held so dear in our tranzi societies. |

| #5 Not only the licences, double-check the greencards. They don't act like a group that has been harrassed since 9/11. The Muslim community seems to act more like one that expected abuse, didn't get it, and is now trying to push back against percieved weakness. |

| #4 Airport tells Muslim cabbies to enjoy their new line of work... |

| #3 no. They lose their license. Discriminate in your private life if you want - as a public transit licensed operator, you can't. Fuck them. Take the first 10 and pull their license - and bar them from unemployment payments. Then see how strongly the remainder feel. |

| #2 I think if they paint little piggies all over their cabs to indicate their restrictions on alcohol then potential customers can identify them and avoid them. |
