The whole article is bulls**t. It's not "Muslim cab drivers" it's ONE Muslim cab driver, using Islam as an excuse.It's using a single case and deciding that all Muslims are guilty and culpable. That's called bigotry.
How dare you preach against the holy religion of multiculturalism preached by our liberal friends? Don't you know that Moslems created new facts on the grounds and you'd better put up with them or shut up. Just like Norwegian/Australian girls who now risk being "satisfied lebanese-style" (i.e. gang-raped) if they dress like "uncovered meat"?
ok this is all getting out of hand, why is everyone referring to this ONE cab driver as 'they' and GENERALIZING all Muslims. this is ONE GUY for f****s sake! he was wrong to refuse the guy and that's his bloody fault, if this guy had proper knowledge of ISLAM he would know that he did the wrong thing by refusing the blind guy.
I live in Vancouver and the sub-heading on this is ridiculous: "In Vancouver, British Columbia, Muslim cab drivers are refusing service to infidels who violate Islamic laws—for example, blind people with guide dogs."Just cause this was one guy doesn't mean anything...for the most part the cabbies here are nice people and are very tolerant of other views...In fact, I pride myself on my city being one of the most tolerant and ethnically diverse in Canada...North America...if not the world...
This taxi driver is a moron. As many people here have pointed out, his behaviour has nothing to do with Islam, he is simply an idiot. Why does this have to turn into a Islam bashing story right away? Why is it a story at all?Now what would happen if there was a vegan taxi driver who turned down a passenger only because of a meat-loaf sandwich he was eating? Would this be news-worthy?
I'm sorry, but guys you should take a step back. And lets look at this logically.First the site, is this a reputable site? Are we sure that what is being told here is fact?I have no prob grabbing my torch cause I'm tired of the BS as well... But I am not going to grab it on a whim.. :(
Religion does some weird things to people. I don't see why this man should get special treatment because of his religion. I wouldn't expect someone who was Christian, for example, to be exempt from the draft simply because killing is a mortal sin. I don't know what their laws are in Canada, but that would kind of suck if there weren't already measures of protection for disabled people. I mean, blindness would really suck, from my perspective; probably one of the worst disabilities I could imagine.
