Muslim Uber driver boots lesbian couple for kissing in the backseat

[OneHungLo]

Bladewire you missed this one.

A Uber driver booted a party-hopping lesbian couple from his car on Saturday after he saw them kissing in the back seat.

Alex Iovine, 26, a Manhattan advertising technology consultant, said that she and her girlfriend, Emma Pichl, 24, a senior recruiter, hailed the livery to go from a birthday party at the bar Pig Beach, in Gowanus to another friend’s birthday party in the East Village about 5 p.m.

“We were sitting on opposite sides of the car,” she said. “We leaned in for a peck, and that’s what it was, a legit peck.”

The PDA was too much for the driver, who pulled the car over on Canal St. as it reached the other side of the Manhattan Bridge.The experience opened the couple’s eyes to how pervasive prejudice can be.

“He said, ‘Get out of my car,’” Iovine said. “My girlfriend started laughing. She thought he was joking.”

She said they had had two drinks at the Gowanus bar, but were far from drunk.

Iovine said she’s aware of Uber’s code of conduct, but was adamant that the two did nothing more than a quick smooch.

“He yelled at us for being disrespectful and inappropriate because we pecked on the lips,” Iovine.

The driver, Ahmed Elbotari, 35, wearing a wrinkled, ill-fitting undershirt and frosted sunglasses, can be seen on the recording opening the backdoor of the car after pulling over at Canal St. to force the couple out when he eyed the lip lock.

“It’s illegal,” the driver said after Iovine asks him why he’s putting them out. “You can’t do this in the car. You aren’t allowed to do this.”

The women press him for a better explanation for cutting the ride short.

“Why are we not allowed to kiss in an Uber?” Iovine asks.

“It’s disrespectful,” the livery driver says in the video.

The couple become enraged, threatening to call police.

“Nothing is illegal,” one of the women says. “It’s not illegal to kiss in New York.”

The grabbie cabbie reaches for one of the women’s phones to stop her from videotaping.

Elbotari said Iovine is only telling half the story.

The hack, who has been licensed since Sept. 2014 and has no other active complaints against him, said he took offense to more than just the tonsil hockey.

“I don't give a s--- about them. I did what I believe is my freedom,” he said.

Elbotari said the couple were acting crude in his cab. He said one forced the other to smell her armpit, they played loud videos on their phones, one put her feet on his seat and they kissed.

“It’s my own car, I didn't feel comfortable with them,” Elbotari said. The driver said he asked them to stop kissing and lower the volume on their phones. Elbotari said that he would do the same for a straight couple, but admitted that he has less tolerance for a same-sex couple.

After 4000 fares on Uber, he said he has a stellar rating.

Iovine said that she had sent a complaint to Uber directly after the incident, but the company did not respond until the Daily News reported the flap.

Uber refunded the $22 fare and apologized to her for the inconvenience.

“Uber does not tolerate any form of discrimination, and we have reached out to the rider regarding her experience," Uber spokeswoman Susan Hendrick said. "We are investigating and will take appropriate action.”

Hendrick said that the driver had reported the incident as well.

She said that she also filed a complaint with the city’s Human Rights Commission, but hasn’t heard back from the online ride-hail company.

The Taxi & Limousine Commission has launched its own investigation.

"We’ve reached out to the victim, and will be starting the investigation today," Fromberg said.

“Obviously, he’s homophobic,” she said. “I was very surprised. I haven’t experienced homophobic behavior in the city. We live in this bubble and think this can’t happen here in New York City. This goes to show that it can happen anywhere.”

She said she believed that the driver took offense on the basis of his religion.

To make matters worse, she said, the incident took place during a month dedicated to celebrating sexual diversity.

“It was a really terrible experience - and ironically occurred on a bright sunny day during pride month in NYC,” Iovine said.

Thankfully , you're not good at trolling.

You also know very well that I'm pro Americanized muslims, in America, only and feel most of the ME should be nuked for the betterment of mankind.

Trump supporters overwhelmingly are anti Gay & racist, as I've demonstrated here in this thread.

White christian Americans have been proudly killing Gays & blacks for hundreds of years in America

I was in a Pizza place once and 2 hideous lesbos were swapping spit. Not the shit I wanna see while eating, hot lesbos no problemo, beached whales=appetite shot.

If lesbos in my car were hideous, get a room. Hot might FAP and when they become disgusted I'll blame them for provoking da erection.

Of course I'd never Uber cause I don't need the extra money and 90% of people suck.

There are no moderate Muslims. Anyone who believes there is such a thing as moderate Islam knows nothing about the religion and has not read the Qu'ran which is actually quite horrific to read. Just swearing an oath of citizenship to a country is against Islam. Pledging allegience to anything other than Islam and Allah is against Islam. The logic they use to do it is that Islam allows them to lie, cheat and steal to advance Islam. Hence, lying is a normal part of most Arabic cultures.

The Qu'ran is 1/2 Old Testament and all the fire and brimstone and 1/2 "how to kill non believers". Only an idiot would read the Qu'ran and think "oh, there is nothing harsh here at all". Christianity is only moderate because a dude later came along as said "ok,... look, eat all the non kosher , non halal shit you want and just be good people and love each other" and the New Testament and it's new flexibility then began to fully overshadow the Old Testament. Islam is the Old Testament made more harsh and severe.

But "moderate Islam"?

There are only Muslims who follow the Qu'ran and teachings of Mohamed and Muslims who don't. There is no part of any of it that says "hey, this is open to your own interpretation and just kinda do what you want with it". And arguments about how strictly to do it is why Muslims have been slaughtering each other for 14 centuries.

So fuck off Bladewire. No actual Muslim anywhere is ok with you being Gay. They are explicitly taught to not be OK with you being gay. They are required to give you 3 chances to change and then kill you.... "throwing you from the highest place" or however that section is phrased.

Islam teaches that any non Muslim is a second class citizen. Being Gay in Islam puts you quite a few notches below second class citizen. But don't let reality get in the way of a good story... or all the bodies hanging from cranes in Iran or people being thrown off buildings for being gay in the middle east.

Meanwhile, in the countries that let a bunch of assholes in the country who have zero intention whatsoever of joining society and assimilating and then wholly reject every aspect of the culture that let them in to begin with...

Yeah... "nothing to see here..."

Fucking retards.

IGA IS a US based company as I stated first and foremost. In your particular example I get to use your favorite person Trump as my example. Like those who pay Trump to use his name/brand they are paying IGA for the use of their name/brand.

It means they don't throw gays from buildings in the USA, they just talk shit about him behind his back and pine for the days when in their country they'd throw them off of buildings. The funny part is that no matter how true it is, he'll support the very people that will condone and then celebrate his murder.

[beerptrol]

They were probably on their way to try and get a cake made by that christian baker.....Oh wait, no cake for them. Damn religious intolerance

So... which "intolerance" and "injustice" are you for or against??

Are you angry at Islam and an intolerant driver? Or a christian bakery where a couple traveled hundreds of miles, lawyer and news in tow to set up a hit job?

Pick a lane dipshit.

Dude since you're like an amateur psychiatrist..can you please please make sense of the left's defense of misogynistic and homophobic islam? Do they just take them under their wing because they are the downtrodden brown people, even tho every fabric of their belief goes completely against every leftist value.

That is a complex question. That said, I also believe with every fiber of my being that hte division of left/right is one of humanities greatest evolutionary achievements. Through we don't realize it, every society is similarly ordered. Much of Europe is skewed so far to the left due to 2 World Wars where conservatives are sooner to recognize the threat and quicker to sign up to fight and thus die to challenge the threat. It's never the conservative voice saying "wait, its not big deal that germany is arming itself again against all agreements" and its always the liberal voice saying "hey war-monger, leave them alone"

Why is it important?

The Team of Rivals

The best solutions always come from intense argument. In other words, when you have something like a cult where no one is raising their hand to ask "does it make sense to kill ourselves to be taken off the planet in the spaceship hiding in the tail of the Hale Bop Comet" - everyone dies.

How do you get that intense argument to best enhance our survival as an individual, then as a group and then as a species?

People have to see things differently AND be blind to the other's way of seeing things. Afterall, quick agreement and a poor debate leads to a bad answer which reduces the probability of survival of the group and then as such, the individual.

There is bad news for Liberals. They got the bad end of the deal in that their ability to understand the other side is far more diminished than that of the other. When it comes to the various types of moral reasoning, they have a couple types of moral issues that are strongly over exaggerated and conflated and are blind to the rest. Jonathan Haidt has done 100s of 1000s of surveys across the globe to show the same pattern in culture after culture.

The upside to us all is in this perceptual discrepancy is that this is where the fire and fury come from in debates. "You're racist", "you're xenophobic", "you're hateful" etc etc etc etc. This is not due to mean personalities, this is due to the inability for example to appropriately weight all aspects of an issue. In other words a liberal gives a disproportionate amount of weight to "we need to protect them, we need to help them, we need to care for them" and no weight at all to the costs. This is seen in this conversation or in social problems in general. What happens then? When you can't percieve the costs all you can perceive is objection to "helping", "caring" etc when someone is really just asking "how do we pay for this".

Why Conservatives/Liberals see issues differently is a long discussion in moral reasoning and the difference between your brains processing of reason and moral questions.

But surely you've noticed "I care, you don't" is a constant feature of the Liberal world view. Protecting others is processed as a moral issue with reason coming second.

In the last two decades, we've done something interesting as a society thats sent things spinning off the rails.

First...
We became politically correct. We decided you can't call a dumb person dumb, a fat person fat, an annoying person annoying etc. We no longer tell parents to shut their kids up and be respectful of others. In fact, we've emboldened the worst of humanity to act horribly and feel entitled to do so.

Then....
Those very people started getting participation trophies and were told at every turn that they were special. So we normalized the behaviors of horrible people... then told them they were special and entitled.

Then....
With no societal restraints and being told they were "special" a new behavior popped up. A totally new behavior.

That is the unchallenged quest for unearned status.

You see, your brain doesn't try to be honest, it tries to be perceived as honest. Individual reputation plays a stronger role in group survival than honestly.

Self entitled liberals, empowered and emboldened by a life of participation trophies learned that now they can claim to be offended to gain status within the group. They also know that unlike 2 decades ago you can't just tell them to shut the fuck up while pointing out the stupidity of their claims.

In that vacuum, knowing they can't be criticized, they learned another powerful lesson. That is that they can just call you racist or hateful for honest criticism and you shut up. Why? Reputation. You don't want to be called racist. You can't afford to be perceived as being a racist, so words like that became powerful tools to shut down any reasonable discourse.

But they didn't stop there....
knowing they can't be effectively criticized, and that they have free reign to call you racist and hateful no matter what you say to shut down any hope of well reasoned debate.... they figured out a new way to gain status.

You become a victim.... un-earned status

Why work hard to achieve? The participation trophy generation learned a shortcut to getting unearned status and unearned respect from peers.

You get offended. You become the victim of imagined hate. You standup for imagined victims of imagined crimes. You go to Ferguson to protest a thugs botched attempt to kill a cop after a robbery. You conveniently forget about a bunch of dipshits destroying a city as a result. You proclaim allegiance to groups like BLM which chant to kill cops or that recite blatant lies because the lie is a great narrative to illustrate an injustice taht you need to be seen fighting against. You never stop letting the world know "you care". You never stop announcing to the world that you're fighting for whats right. You never stop announcing to your peers that you fight for the little guy and that "the other guys" are hateful and mean, therefore you are a champion in an epic struggle.... and its all for status from peers.

This is what the electorate is pushing back against right now. We've allowed this pendulum to swing much too far. The majority of voters are tired of being called racist or hateful and mean and really just want a government to focus on jobs, immigration, economy, trade and so on. Clearly, as you can see... the left has no ability to understand all of this and all they can talk about is hating Trump, hating republicans and hating everyone who disagrees with them... and even worse, root for failure to be proven correct.- even when it comes at the clear expense of all those who they never stop telling you that they care about. Ironically they are also doing so while believing themselves to be on the high moral ground while acting in a hateful and abhorrent manner.

Many of these stores operate in small town markets and belong to families that manage them. It was founded in the United States as the Independent Grocers Alliance. The headquarters is in Chicago, Illinois. IPA is also owned by IGA in Ontario, Canada

In Canada (apart from British Columbia), IGA is a group of independent grocers supplied by Sobeys, which franchises the name. Acquired by Sobeys as part of its purchase of the Oshawa Group Ltd., it now operates primarily in Quebec. The IGA operations in Atlantic Canada were sold to Loblaw Companies Limited (except for Edmundston, New Brunswick) and were restructured under its existing brands. The company-owned stores west of Quebec now mainly operate under the Sobeys banner. In Ontario, Sobeys forced franchise-owned IGA stores to convert to the Foodland banner, and announced the closure of the IGA program in Ontario. There are, however, many IGA stores still operating in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, with one opening in Emerald Park, Saskatchewan in 2016.[3][4]

I really don't want to have to get into how IGA works as a business / association so hopefully you understand all that.. To put it simply, it's a buying/supplying/pooling brand/association...

The armchair psychology in this thread is laughable. In the video, the guys says, "I asked you to stop doing it", and his interaction with them throughout the clip seemed very measured and controlled. He didn't fly off the handle, curse at them, or manhandle them.

Not the case with this, presumably white, possibly Christian, Uber driver ...

You're being very polarizing, in an attempt to troll.

There are sane people who want out of the ME as the freak radicals have infested the country and grown, just like America used to be infested with radical Christians that had a strong hold on our country.

As much as you want to demonize all ME Muslims to troll, you know that's not reality.
