vindaloo

I have been wanting to write about an article that popped up in the news recently where a bunch of cab drivers in Minnesota have refused to drive people under the influence of alcohol or posessing alcoholic products.
At first read and for quiet a while I was really peeved at the thought that someone could force his religious views on another person here in the US.
I thought whats next they're going to stop taking people with ham sandwiches in their cabs.
All of these cab drivers are immigrants from a muslim nation and ought to realise that this is not a Muslim nation.
Then yesterday I read a note in the paper written by a lady who pointed out how Christian pharmacies refuse to refill pills.
Guess I am the bigger Bigot here and must learn more tolerance towards the Islamic religion.
Not that I would refuse anyone the right to an abortion or would stop people from wearing contraceptives.
I am religious. I believe in religion, but I dont enforce my beliefs on other people.
Why can't people just live in harmony, isn't that what all religions teach as their first precept.
If you feel a certain profession is going against your religious beliefs, quit the profession.
Don't make a thousand people change just because one person is uncomfortable with a certain thing.
