Seperation of Muslims & State

In the case of the cab drivers it is fair, because they're given choices.

They can find another job where their religious sensibilities aren't offended.

They can relocate to live under the religious laws of their choice.

So can Doctors and pharmacist.

True, and that's what makes it fair in the case of the cab drivers.

You seem to have trouble understanding that the cab drivers in this case have agreed to certain stipulations in their licensing process.

As I stated in an earlier post:

As part of their licensing, cabbies agree to pick up any passenger, without exception. The only fares that they can refuse are those that pose a danger to the driver or those who are, in some way or other, disruptive or causing problems. A driver cannot, however, decide that he won't pick up a passenger because the passenger's status conflicts with his religious views.

I didn't want to continue to include this caveat because I had stated it before and I wanted to emphasize the general rule rather than the exceptions. I thought I had made myself clear already, but apparently I needed to repeat that.
