We had an issue not long ago here in Mpls/St. Paul where the Muslim cab-drivers were refusing to carry certain passengers.
People in the service industry refusing to provide service probably belong somewhere else.

I have to disagree with you here. The job of the government is to protect the rights of citizens. In a free country citizens may choose to exercise their individual rights in a way that others find politically incorrect, bigoted or otherwise distasteful. That doesn't mean the government can refuse to do its job.

On the other hand, I would consider supporting your idea just to see the astonished look on the peoples' faces when all forms of taxpayer support is denied to certain businesses, universities and even the government itself due to their discriminatory affirmative action policies.
