Taxis as a Signal of What's to Come?

The airport taxi stand may be the next venue in the conscience wars, though this battle appears one-sided.  A Minneapolis airport official noted that the proposal to allow drivers to self-identify as not willing to transport passengers with alcohol triggered 500 comments from the public, not a single one of them supportive of the proposal.  Apparently in other cities, Muslim taxi drivers have not only refused to transport passengers with alcohol, but also passengers with seeing-eye dogs.  Daniel Pipes argues that accommodations in this area amount to the integration of Islamic law with state law.

I wonder: will the growing presence and visibility of Muslims make the public less amenable to religious accommodations across the board?
