practical approaches

Taxi driver for this evening was Muslim, from "the middle east". Despite our intense introduction to cultural diversity (the oriental population here has gotten fantastically large in the last year or two) this is not actually a common occurrence.

"So," I said, "do you get hassle for being a Muslim?"

"I stop the taxi and tell them there are plenty other taxis in Dublin."

"And sometimes, I have to help them out of the taxi."

Heh. I like that. Especially the gesture that accompanied "help them".
