Sharia in Minnesota - Sympton of a Wider Problem?

In a free society the cab company depicted above would simply be able to fire their Muslim drivers who refused to carry passengers not in compliance with Sharia law.

Then the Muslims could go and set up their own company and attempt to survive in a tiny market of Sharia compliant fares - until economic reality forced them to re-evaluate their ideas.

Target would simply fire those Muslim employees who refused to handle pork products. They could then go to work in a Sharia compliant store and try to make a living in Muslim minority Minnesota - or change their values and thinking to reflect local conditions.

From the 17th to the early 20th century, immigrants to America had to integrate in order to survive. You had to "meet the market", or you would be on the breadline until you did. There was little government welfare and no anti discrimination laws.

If you adapted and integrated you had the chance to prosper. If you chose not to integrate, you lived in a ghetto, until you saw the error of your ways.

Today, too many immigrants realize they can exploit local welfare and anti discrimination laws to achieve a privileged status not enjoyed by the locals - a sure recipe for resentment, jealously and racial and ethnic discord.

The solution is simple. Return to the open, free market economy and the non regulated non "Politically Correct" society that made America an example to all.

E Pluribus Unum - out of many, one, is both a noble ideal and a cold hard social necessity. It can only be achieved through economic and social liberty and equality before the law, never through special privilege and imaginary "group rights".
