Buffalo: Islamophobia run amok

Buffalo: Islamophobia run amok

by creeping

via PeopleTalk: A conversation with Bill Yuhnke – City & Region – The Buffalo News.

Bill Yuhnke was 14 when he took a job pumping gas for Yellow Cab of Buffalo. He never dreamed that 20 years later he would own the cab company. Yuhnke, who grew up on the city’s West Side, worked for a handful of local radio stations and also served in the U.S. Army Reserves before he returned to the cab business.

Yuhnke launched Liberty Cab in 1987 with only a couple of vehicles. In May 2003 he bought Yellow Cab. Today Yuhnke is 61, and as president of Liberty and Yellow cab companies he oversees a fleet of 140 vehicles, 200 drivers and about 20 employees, some of whom man the computer-aided dispatch service.

PT: You have a diverse work force. How does that impact your operations?

BY: I’ve had to educate some of my middle managers about some employees’ religious beliefs. At noon, a number of our Muslim drivers who practice Islam call out of service to go to mosque, and they’re out for a couple of hours praying. During their Ramadan, they pray every three hours. One time, an employee was kneeling at my door praying, and some of my staff were wondering what I did to him.

We can only guess what would happen if Yuhnke didn’t permit his cabbies to clock out for several hours to pray for the Islamic conquest over non-Muslims. See Minnesota, St. Louis, Ohio and New York for just a few examples.
