More trouble for NYC Uber driver who kicked lesbian couple out of car for kissing
•Uber removed a New York driver's access to its app on Monday after he kicked out a lesbian couple for kissing in his car. Late Tuesday the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission suspended the driver's taxi license, pending an investigation.
•Uber's Community Guidelines state that riders are not allowed to touch or flirt out of respect for a driver's personal space; drivers are not allowed to discriminate or make comments or gestures that are discriminatory.
•Uber drivers are independent contractors, not employees, a key to the Uber business model, recently valued at $62 billion.

Ahmad got screwed. Uber says no touching, the lezbos start touching Ahmad properly gives them
the boot then Ahmad gets fired and loses his license to drive! Total screw job.

Halfway to their destination, the driver, Ahmad El Boutari,
Aren't these the types of people that Libs like Uber and these dykes tell us to celebrate?

Not to worry. It's Uber. This rag head will sue and win.

The lezbos are lucky Ahmad didn't cut their heads off like any self respecting Muslim should do filthy
white whores.
Now me, I like @corbe idea of taking the long route.

Sometimes, it is like in the movies.

The Liberal Conundrum, Gays vs Muslims.
Yup. When it comes to gays, Muslims have no more right to their religious sensibilities than Christians do.

You are so cute when you are being naive. Our public schools make accommodations for Muslims for food, prayer and fasting. Muslim bakeries are allowed to refuse to bake cakes for same-sex weddings without penalty. Muslim women are the only people allowed to cover their face in public buildings. I watched a kid get tossed out of a school building for having his face covered by a bandana(Antifa) while a Muslim woman stood there with her face covered.

He’s not being naive.
He’s being obtuse, deceitful and anti Christian.

Agreed...

@Jazzhead
SO you're saying Christians don't have a right to exercise their religion?

@corbe
Looking forward to the video evidence....

Of course not. Just that the issues surrounding free exercise raised by the infamous cake and wedding services cases don't impact just Christians but Muslims as well. Both religiously conservative Christians and Muslims don't like the newfound rights and respect accorded to gays as a protected classification under the law (and, perhaps more significantly, in the popular culture). Uber didn't need to fire this driver, but in these days of identity politics, gays are remarkably well organized in demanding to not be disrespected, and private companies feel the heat even if they may have a legal basis to resist. In this case, a Muslim driver, rather than a Christian one, was the object of the pop culture's wrath. It was more efficient for Uber to fire him rather than explain why he might be justifiably offended over two customers making out in the back seat of his car.

To single out protection of individuals for whatever reason is anti-American. Our foundational principles revolted from such.

So if they miss three questions, they don't have to get out of the Cash Cab?
