Muslim cabbies refusing the blind and drinkers
MUSLIM taxi drivers are refusing to carry blind passengers with their guide dogs or anyone carrying alcohol.

And there have been several complaints that drivers refuse to allow passengers to carry sealed bottles of alcohol.

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.
Drivers who refused to carry blind people with their dogs attended remedial classes at Guide Dogs Victoria, Mr Sach said.
"They are taught why blind people need dogs," Mr Sach said.
"The Victorian Taxi Association has included a program in their taxi driver training program."
Guide Dogs Victoria spokeswoman Holly Marquette said blind people regularly reported taxi drivers refusing to carry them because of their dogs.
"It's sad and quite upsetting," Ms Marquette said. "We try to work with new drivers to educate them about their responsibilities and the needs and rights of blind people.
"We explain that the dog is clean, well trained, won't go near them and will stay in the foot well with the client.
"But it's a high turnover industry and it's hard to capture everyone."
Ms Marquette said there was a legal requirement for taxi drivers, shops, restaurants, hotels and supermarkets to accept guide dogs.
Opposition transport spokesman Terry Mulder said the guide dog issue would exacerbate the taxi industry's flagging respect in the community.

Mr Sach said the problem was often reversed and that Muslim drivers suffered discrimination from passengers who abused them for being "terrorists".
"Muslims are good people and the community has to realise that the days of the white Anglo-Saxon Protestant are well and truly over," he said.

IS there ANYTHING the muslime religion Cult Doesn't hate????
In the USA, dogs aren't illegal, and neither is BOOZE!
Now if we don't drive them nuts, we'll drive them OUT OF BUSINESS....!
CALL IT ACTIVISM!
Chilling. Hope this is a misquote, that he said something more like "...the taxi driver always being a WASP..." instead.
From my sense of human nature and common sense, would you verbally abuse, or otherwise try to intimidate, someone driving the taxi in which you are riding? It doesn't sound like a really prudent thing to do.
This claim of "driver abuse" seems like utter nonsense.
You got that right!
'"Muslims are good people and the community has to realise that the days of the white Anglo-Saxon Protestant are well and truly over," he said."
drivers at the msp airport are possibly getting a different color light to show that they won't carry passengers carrying liquor. I think we should all start carrying liqour if we're going to use a taxi...everywhere.
Lesbo couple with package of bacon, bottle of wine WITH DOG.
The couple have micro-mic, and cam-corder rolling film from across street. No muzzie picks these lovies up, right?
LIKE SHOOTING FISH IN A BARREL.
The bonus? The ACLU (or SPLC?) gets the wonderful publicity for TURNING DOWN THE CASE...!
Don't let them kid you. They will be peddling their "influence" in whatever country they plop themselves.
LOL! You may be on to something. :O)
Of course it's nonsense! Much the same as "prisoner abuse" and "flushing korans" and outrage over "cartoons" was nonsense. It is their "other means" of doing things as noted in post #11.
"This claim of "driver abuse" seems like utter nonsense."
Not to me. Aussies are very outspoken. There have been numerous incidents where women wearing headscarves have had them pulled off in the streets. I totally approve. They push, we push back. There are 20 million aussies and only 350 thousand muslims, why should we put up with it?
Here's your sweet-and-succint answer: Muslims don't like anything other than killing. Period.
;)
Well then why do they allow "unclean" infidels in their cabs?
