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.

Video: Muslim Cab Drivers at Twin Cities Airport Muslim cab drivers at the Twin Cities International Airport are not only refusing to carry blind people with seeing eye dogs and people with alcohol—they also won’t serve transsexuals, according to Fox 9 News: Cab Controversy.Here’s a vidclip from Fox 9 of their reporter confronting a group of aggressive drivers, who refuse to give him a ride and tell him to go somewhere else:
And in EUrabia (Londonistan):
'Unclean' guide dog banned by Muslim cab driver...Abdul Rasheed Majekodumni told Jane Vernon she could not get into his car with the dog because of his religion....
...Mrs Vernon, who works as a legal officer for the Royal National Institute for the Blind, added: "The owner of the minicab firm, Niven Sinclair, was also very insensitive, telling me that what had happened to me wasn't really very important, and I should have more respect for other people's culture. They have shown very little respect for my rights as a disabled person and have never once offered me an apology."
Niven's and Co cab company, is contracted by the BBC and the minicab was sent to take her home from a studio after she was invited to appear on News 24.
The driver's refusal resulted in a court case because the law requires all licensed cab drivers to carry guide dogs. Magistrates at Marylebone fined Mr Majekodumni £200 and ordered him to pay £1,200 for failing to comply with regulations set out under the Disability Discrimination Act. After the case Mr Majekodunmi remained defiant and insisted that he would continue refusing passengers accompanied by guide dogs.........

In a few weeks the FIRST Muslim will be voted in as a member of Congress!
Yes, my FRiend, it has begun...
Of course, the only true solution here is to fight the boycott with one of our own.
Moslems? Yeah, same problem, too many Moslems. More than zero.
I've decided I would rather get into a cab driven by a DOG than a muzzie! Thanks for that very informative reply. There's no doubt in my mind what-ever that this entire sequence of events, as Just A Nobody said, is co-ordinated!
Wonder what's next? So far we have had:
Desecrated koran in the toilet.
Cartoons (illustrations of mohamMAD.)
Little Piggy statues that had to be removed from a window sill somewhere in England.
Objections to a sign in a parking lot that said 'Porking Lot'...remember?
And that statue of a pig that had to be removed because it was an insult to muslims...also in England...it had been there for hundreds of years.
Billboards showing women (horror of horrors!) in their underwear.
I could go on and on...we haven't touched upon what Pope Benedict said, nor The Satanic Verses...oh, and let's not forget the woman who complained about the 'desecrated' koran she bought second hand...where someone had written on the pages!
It's not easy being a muslim! To be an A$$hole every day can't be easy. It takes practise. Each and every one of them making their own personal jihad.
For allah, mohamMAD's sock-puppet.
shari'a bump
Ain't that the truth
