No nonsense about Muslim taxicab drivers in the Australian State of Queensland

Company fires them if they object to dogs — unlike the constipated proceedings in the USA
Some Muslim taxi drivers are refusing to carry blind and disabled passengers with guide dogs – because their religion tells them the animals are “unclean”. Brisbane’s Yellow Cab Company has been forced to sack drivers over their conduct towards passengers with assistance dogs. Bill Parker, general manager of the firm, said the behaviour would not be tolerated and penalties will be imposed if drivers disobeyed. The company has produced a booklet informing drivers of their duty towards blind and disabled customers with dogs.
Islamic Council of Queensland president Suliman Sabdia said dogs were considered a health risk for Muslims but “to use religion as a reason to refuse blind and disabled passengers is unjustified”.

In fact, the system in the US is not as constipated as you down under portray. The Muslims taxi drivers at the Minneapolis airport have been instructed, after great delay, to pick up fares carrying duty free liquor or be immediately terminated. This is in effect and is being complied with. A similar situation is winding its way through the bureaucratic maze in New York City.
I guess if you can’t carry dogs or alcohol in your cab you shouldn’t drive a cab.

Anyone who is opposed to dogs and alcohol doen’t deserve to live.
