Once again, anywhere Western law and Islamic law conflict, it is Western law that must give way. If you won't pick up passengers with dogs, don't be a cab driver.

Toronto: Muslim Cab Drivers Allowed To Refuse Riders With Dogs Blazing Cat Fur, July 16, 2012 (thanks to Kathy Shaidle)

"She denied Muslim drivers in their fleet would ever turn down dogs for religious reasons contending it has more to do with “them being scared” of dogs.

Asked how she felt about a woman being denied a ride at 1:30 a.m., Ruddy said she “hates the idea” but they have to “abide by the GTAA rules” — they “don’t have a choice.”

I had to laugh when I read the description of their drivers on the McIntosh website, most particularly this gem: “Our drivers have taken sensitivity training...” ***

The Magic 5% has taken hold in Toronto. File complaints with the OHRT, contact the GTAA, contact Mayor Ford - mayor_ford@toronto.ca, 416-397-FORD (3673), Contact Beck Taxi.

Interesting.

Here in Indianapolis most of the cabbies are Muzzies (they even put foot washing stations in the new airport terminal).

I know my buddy who is blind and has a black Lab assistance dog has taken many cab rides. I’ll have to have him ask these guys why they aren’t adhering to their beliefs.

My personal law is my four pound Yorkie will not be put in a Muslim/Islamic cab. She is much too high class for that.

I bet if you bribed them with Infidel Cookies they’d be more than happy to take you and your dog where ever you want to go!

Amazing isn't it? If one is in one of the many Islamic Republics, one is expected (sometimes under the pain of being jailed, or worse, even if not a practitioner of the "Religion of Pieces, Tolerance and Perpetually Offended."

On the other hand, if one of the true "believers" visits or emigrates to a Non-Muslim Country, the "natives" are expected to abide by ALL of the "believers'" customs, mores and other religious dictates.

Is there something wrong with this picture?

the answer here is really quite simple.

let the market decide.

the cabbies are allowed to profile based on pets.

let the riders profile based on cabbies.

let rider say “no muslim cabbies for me”

Never, ever, ever, ever, ever trust a man who doesn’t like dogs.

In the Twin Cities they refuse alcohol in the cab, and I believe grocery cashiers refuse to ring it up. If I’m wrong on the latter, it’s the location, not the act.

&&&
A woman alone in a cab or anywhere else with a mohammedan is probably not safe.

I hope someone in Toronto starts riding in their cabs and leaving pork chops or bacon behind.

If it is not a service dog, any cab driver, Muslim, Christian, Jew or atheist should be able to refuse to load a dog.

Gee! What is PETA going to do about this? Hit the moslems with a glitter ball?
