Muslims cabbies banning guide dog

posted in Current Affairs, Deaf, General, deaf culture |

Recognize this pattern:

United Kingdom:‘Unclean’ guide dog banned by Muslim cab driver

Australia:Muslim cabbies refusing the blind and drinkers

Norway: Blind People Rejected by Muslim Taxi Drivers

Now substitute “blind guide dogs” for “hearing guide dogs”. Wouldn’t surprise me if it already happened.

If the muslims taxi drivers are afraid of dogs, booze, gays, then kindly find another line of employment. Simple as that.

Taxi drivers cannot be choosy. It’s the law.

    From the above website, here’s the rough translation:

    Religion versus handicap

    In London, Australia and Norway are cases admits become, in which itself Muslim Taxifahrer refused transporting blind customers with leading dog. The dogs are in their eyes “impure” defend themselves the drivers.

    I have in addition a rather clear opinion (and the courts concerned with some cases obviously also): Who does not want to transport blind dogs as Taxifahrer, should look for each other another job.
