Hmm, seeing how pharmacists can refuse to fill birth control prescriptions based on religion, and is upheld in our courts, shouldn’t muslim cab drivers also have their case of not taking passengers with alcohol or dogs also be held up?

Besides, this would show some Christian/Muslim solidarity, coming together for a common cause, the enforcement of religion as a governing body over our everyday lives.
