UK - Muslim cab driver refuses guide dog

Not only do we have a Muslim police officer with ties to terrorists refusing to guard the Israeli embassy, now we have a Muslim cab driver refusing a blind woman's guide dog.

Abdul Rasheed Majekodumni told Jane Vernon she could not get into his car with the dog because of his religion.


And the BBC is involved indirectly.

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."

Niven's and Co cab company, is contracted by the BBC and the minicab was sent to take her home from a studio after she was invited to appear on News 24.


I read of a similar incident in Australia.

In the US, Muslim cab drivers are refusing to admit passengers with alcohol and Muslims woking for a trucking firm refused to drive trucks carrying alcohol. Next thing you now they'll refuse to admit passengers with bacon or drive trucks transporting pork.

Are they going to start refusing Jewish or Christian fares next?

If their job requires Muslims to do things that are against their faith, they should quit their jobs or put up with it. They have the right to make that choice but they don't have a right disobey the law or impose their religion on the rest of us.
