The taxi drivers who refused to carry passengers carrying alcohol or who had consumed alcohol were told that if they refuse service to anyone (except in the case where they were concerned about their personal safety) they would lose their licenses. I imagine some of them quit driving taxis but, again, most of them accepted the decision and they and their employers are satisfied. In both cases, common sense prevailed.
How do I know this? Because I was a resident of Minneapolis until recently and these stories were front page news and heavily reported.
You are entitled to believe whatever you want about Muslims or gays or any other minority groups, but you should at least deal in facts when you're trying to state your case.

Dear Guest: If you lived in Minneapolis then you also know that Saint Paul refused to allow the Easter Bunny in any of their buildings because they viewed them as an extension of the religious Holiday of Easter.
If you recall it took more than one incident until the issue with taxi drivers and grocery clerks was resolved. it didn't take anytime for St Paul to say no to the Easter Bunny
Perhaps you should reread my post because my facts are correct and as I stated I actually believe these Muslims had a right to exercise their beliefs.
I also recall the stir that Bosacker created with his antics.
I appreciate your acknowledging that I am entitled to my opinion because that opinion of being entitled to one's opinion is not common among progressives
I opine others can decide
Personal Best Regards:
P.S. I am certain that you and I can agree that the Minneapolis area is a wonderful place.
