He would never get away with that in a Houston cab. It's common knowledge what "family" owns Yellow cab here.Even if that were not the case, I'm guessing that the good people of Texas wouldn't put up with it either. I will choose Texans over Canadians as neighbors any day of the week :-)

And other Muslims of different sects

Now that is a GREAT idea. Im beginning to see Korans in the nightstands next to the Bible in many motels and hotels lately; I have often wondered what to do about this abhorrent situation. Now I know
ham filled Korans, in cabs! Thanks for the idea.

Yes (and so do I!).
But I don't think these groups go about trying to enforce this thought
on the rest of the population!
While trying to acquire nuclear weapons (as in the case of the President of Iran).

>"if it means helping someone in need. Mitha said all that would be required in most circumstances would be for a Muslim person to wash their hands before eating if they have been in contact with a dog. "That's not a terrible task to go through," he said. "
How would we know? We don't believe in their stoopid stone age murder cult.
Maybe muuuhamhead (Pigs be inseminating her) had a hand washing phobia.

Not funny.
When I was a teenager I was at a friends and eating some chips etc. I chewed on this thing that I thought was pretty good and asked "Whats this thing called ?" and he said it's a "PigSkin"
I asked "Why do they call it that ?"
And he answered truthfully. I try to stay Kosher but sometimes I don't do it too good.
Yuppers a Big Bag of Pork Rinds would be real good for the cabbies.

I got better idea just fire this bozo
He doesn't like it TOUGH S***TApparently he is not in violation of this cab company's rules. From the article:
The taxi company says another driver was sent out to get Gilmour right after the first driver refused to let the guide dog in the car. |

and
According to documents filed with the Human Rights Tribunal, North Shore Taxi said about half of their drivers are "unable to take animals in their taxis due to medical or religious reasons."
This taxi company appears to be perfectly happy to force disabled and handicapped people to wait out on the street while a second taxi is called.

Anyone who wishes to speak directly to North Shore Taxi can easily do so: Wouldn't it be a shame if their drivers got called out on some snipe hunts? I'm just sayin'...

It's kind of the other way around. These guys go in for ceremonial handwashing ~ no water!

That is a great idea. Gets more customers and keeps muslims out of cabs. ROFLMAOhehe! It would also expand the increasingly-necessary pig and hog farming industry.
We should lobby for a national Hog Farmer Appreciation Day or a "Have you hugged your neighborhood hog farmer lately?" campaign :-)

This should really throw the liberals into a tailspin. Do they defend the handicapped of the terrorists? And what about the animal rights people? Think of the poor dogs feelings....They will side with the terrorists because then they can play the race card as well as the anti-America card at the same time.

Saudi Arabian religious police recently banned the sale of dogs and cats:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,212980,00.html
"One bad habit spreading among our youths is the acquisition of dogs and showing them off in the streets and malls," wrote Aleetha al-Jihani in a letter to Al-Madina newspaper. "There's no doubt that such a matter makes one shudder."
"Then what's the point of dragging a dog behind you?" he added. "This is blind emulation of the infidels."

But the taxi driver, Behzad Saidy, is arguing his Muslim religious beliefs will not allow him to take dogs in his taxi, because Muslims can't associate with dogs.
Sounds reasonable, mohammed just can't afford any competiton from another son of a b*tch.hehehe! Islam is obviously a "make it up as you go" religion that allows it's adherents to pretty much say and do anything that they want.
This cabbie needs to be bitch-slapped around the block sixty or seventy times.
