There are about 2000 Muslims among drivers of Melbourne's 10,000 taxis. Many are from countries with strict Islamic teachings about "unclean" dogs and the evils of alcohol.

MUSLIM taxi drivers are refusing to carry blind passengers with their guide dogs or anyone carrying alcohol. Well, in animal-loving, beer-swilling Australia, that ought to win them lots of support....hmph!

IMO, they would feel more at home if they left Australia and immigrated to Iran, Syria, Lebanon, and thereabouts. Why are these people coming to countries where they dislike the culture? Bye, bye.
To: Fred Nerks
Mr Sach said the problem was often reversed and that Muslim drivers suffered discrimination from passengers who abused them for being "terrorists". Typical ploy. Deflect legitimate criticism by pointing out something that the other party is doing.

I like the proposed idea of having a special light on the cab to mark it as driven by someone from the religion of intolerance. Then we always travel with a bottle of wine and bump thier arses to the back of the cab line every single time. For fun.
Regards.

"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. Chilling. Hope this is a misquote, that he said something more like "...the taxi driver always being a WASP..." instead.

Maybe Jews should be required wear these so the Muslim cabbies won't defile their cabs.

Muslim driver fare nightmare:
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...!

Well then why do they allow "unclean" infidels in their cabs?

If I were emperor, a taxi driver (Muslim or not) who refused to pick up a guide dog would lose his license instantly. If he were a non-citizen, he'd be deported back to whatever Turd World $#!t-hole he crawled out of, the very next morning.
This business has got to stop. I say we mount mass actions at the airports, hundreds of "customers" each carrying a bottle of wine, and gum up the taxis. Make it hurt. For good measure we should all wear kippahs and Mohammed-turban-bomb T-shirts.

How about this? When you get a cab, ask the driver if he is a Muzzle. If so, tell him you refuse to ride with him. If he asks why, tell him he discriminates against blind people and people who are carrying a legal substance.
If you don't ride their cabs, they won't be in the business very long.
