Religion What is your take on religion? Do you base your thoughts in life according to your religion? Do you feel that religion should be kept out of Government and Politics?

'Unclean' guide dog banned by Muslim cab driver
'Unclean' guide dog banned by Muslim cab driver
Last updated at 09:25am on 6th October 2006

A Muslim minicab driver refused to take a blind passenger because her guide dog was "unclean".

Islamic tradition warns Muslims against contact with dogs because they are seen as impure.

The case emerged as Jack Straw was embroiled in a controversy over Muslim women wearing veils and the row continued after a Muslim police officer was excused guard duty at the Israeli embassy. Today Mrs Vernon, 39, from Hammersmith, said: "This experience was very upsetting.

"I was tired and cold and just wanted to get home but this driver made me feel like I was a second-class citizen, like I didn't count at all."

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."

This is the problem and it is getting worse. Muslims are applying their religion over the rights of citizens. Liberals will ignore this or make excuses for the muslim cab driver.

That's so fucking weak...

That's like we were told over here that we can not eat or drink in front of the locals during Ramadan. I told them to go fuck themselves. I am not changing my habits for their stupid religion.

This thread reminds me of the issue in some states where some pharmacists want to refuse to fill prescriptions for things they say their religion objects to. Is it similar, or is my mind just wandering off in odd directions?
