Did I miss something? The article said:

"The number of Islamic drivers has by now increased to the point that they reportedly make up three-fourths of MSP's 900 cab drivers.

By September 2006, Muslims turned down an estimated three fares a day based on their religious objection to alcohol"

So there must be a whole lot of Muslim cab drivers who are accepting passengers carrying alcohol. What about them? What sense does it make to punish them when only a relatively few drivers want an exception. How is it a good idea to alienate drivers who are doing their jobs? Would it not be a better strategy to drive a wedge between those who are doing their jobs and those who aren't?
