Muslim cabbies refusing the blind and drinkers

[Nicholas]

MUSLIM taxi drivers are refusing to carry blind passengers with their guide dogs or anyone carrying alcohol.

At least 20 dog-aided blind people have lodged discrimination complaints with the Victorian Taxi Directorate. Dozens more have voiced their anger.

And there have been several complaints that drivers refuse to allow passengers to carry sealed bottles of alcohol.
Victorian Taxi Association spokesman Neil Sach said the association had appealed to the mufti of Melbourne to give religious approval for Muslim cabbies to carry guide dogs.

One Muslim driver, Imran, said yesterday the guide dog issue was difficult for him.

"I don't refuse to take people, but it's hard for me because my religion tells me I should not go near dogs," he said.

it's hard for me because my religion tells me I should not go near dogs, I never wnted a dog, just shit machines, BUT....hmmm. :D

I also like the comment after the article;
Is it me or do I read this correctly. If an infidel or christian or any non muslim says, or does, anything that muslims disagree with, then they seem to want that person or whoever punished or killed. Where is tollerance and understanding in their religion. Christians may disaprove of what muslims say about us but we do not go around trying to extract punishment or death for the person or group responsible for the remark or cartoon etc. We just get on with our lives and remind ourselves that we live in a free country and that people can say what they please.
Could not have written it better my self.

Another point. The signs of growing anger and frustration I have noticed against muslims in the british press, appears to be an international phenomenae.

And why? because the muslims do not want to assimilate into any western society. Its pretty amazing that a culture of persons who think western culture is immoral seem to want to flock here by there millions.

They should all be deported, they should not come to our country, then complain about it and try to change all our customs, traditions and culture etc.:mad:

The Australian aboriginies used to run around with no clothes on. Maybe the Muslims will change their ways too. :confused:

At least customs/immigration/polioce could tell who the were. :rolleyes:

I have met West Indians, and Indians, who are more British than a lot of people I know of "British birth". The same with Chinese.

The point is, that the new crop of immigrants, from the middle East, do NOT want to "ASSIMILATE" or even "INTEGRATE", they want US to change to suit their way of life.

THAT is a big difference.
