Blind man’s guide dog barred from restaurant for offending Muslims

A blind man has been turned away from a fashionable Indian restaurant because his guide dog offended Muslim staff.

Alun Elder-Brown, a recruitment executive, said he was left feeling “like a piece of dirt” after being barred from bringing the animal into Kirthon Restaurant in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, on religious grounds.

The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association said the decision was illegal under the Disability Discrimination Act and Mr Elder-Brown, 51, is now considering suing the establishment in The Pantiles.

It follows a series of successful prosecutions of Muslim taxi drivers who refused to carry guide dogs in their cars because they considered them unclean on religious grounds.

Mr Elder-Brown was taking his girlfriend out to celebrate her birthday with her five year-old daughter last week when he was told he would have to leave his dog, Finn, tied up outside.

Apparently, the prophet doesn’t like guide dogs, either.

Never trust a person who does not like dogs.

They speak the funny English don't they?

Here, we'd say:

Mr Elder-Brown is now considering suing the pants off the establishment.

In the USA this would be an ADA lawsuit and bigtime. I hope the UK Muzzies get reamed over this.

Boy this is a liberal dilemna. Do they side with a handicapped blind man, or the muslims?

Nowadays I would say the Muslims. Handicapped rights are so 80’s.

Ha!

A Muslim, a Homosexual, and an Atheist walk into a bar. They all begin to fight over who has the “right” to the only open stool. The bartender is a liberal who they ask to decide the argument....

You finish the joke.. Since I just made it up, I don’t have a punch line yet.

Agree!

The dog was probably safer not being in that restaurant!

I can’t wait till they try that crap here!!!I would call the Freedom Riders Motorcycle gan and just keep riding around the restaurant in circles till they closed it!

Or better yet, ask everyone to bring their dogs and have a DOGGIE DEMONSTRATION !!

So the blind man is insulted, is denied his rights, it treated like sh*t. Well, As long as he wasn't offended.

I hope he sues the place and ends up owning it. Then if the ‘staff’ is offended, they can work elsewhere.

This world of no gay/not mooseslime etc shall be offended - ever ever - has got to be stopped. No where is it written that we shall never be offended. ?

Of course, if the person being offended is white = no harm, no foul. Offend away, it's okay.

The Sheeple better stop this before it goes one iota further. It may not seem like much, but it's a lot more than what it seems on the surface. It's a tool to get the sheeple used to taking orders and getting used to becoming people with no rights.

\but the orders will get ever bigger and more restrictive.

I can't understand why this nice seeing eye dog would offend members of the religion of peace?

The Atheist. He sneaks it while the other two are praying the bartender picks them.

Corny, yes. But you asked for an answer! :)

I hope the dog wasn’t offended by the presence of mudslimes in that locale.
