I thought it was illegal to refuse service on grounds of race,creed,colour,religionsexual orientation and DISABILITY.

\\The driver, who has not been named for data protection reasons, refused to allow the customer inside the car once he discovered that the passenger was visually impaired and had a guide dog with him.//

I think he needs a change of carreer.

I had to fire 2 drivers for the same reason , one used your terms and yes he was Muslim - the other was just an idiot it transpires and wasn't a Muslim.

Neither made the papers.
Hereiam...congratulations for being the first person on this thread to mention Muslims !
Starting to make sense though. Wasn't sure about the Muslim attitude to dogs. Good job he didn't have a pet piggy on a lead.
Makes no odds why the driver refused, without a proper exemption he has broken the terms of his licence.

It should be clear from the outset what the job involves.
Muslim, no doubt about it. Too PC sensitive, some folk.
Oh for the free speech of yesteryear.
Darn it!
Didn't even get to page 2 before the 'M-word' reared its head....so utterly predictable....
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, you can't call it a duck because of data protection, or it's racist or politicaly unexceptable...Ho Hum.
There is no 'Muslim attitude' towards dogs. Some Muslims think they are unclean, others don't and have pet dogs.
Jack....didn't take very long before this turned into today's Anti-Muslim thread, did it !
This is quite old...
there has been a prog on this already - 30m or an hour

happened before and the fella wasnt believed
so he engineered it again with a hand held camera
and this made up the majority of the prog

The one bit ( being partially sighted and having an assist dog) I recollect is the tax driver saying " I prefer not to...." and then laughing in an embarassed way

fella says - preference irrelevant mate - youre breaking the law

tee-dee - you wait here and I go get someone else
( more tittering)

fella - no you have to take me - you dont have a choice .....
you're breaking the law

Taxi firm VERY slow to act - like they did nothing until the man from the ministry arrived with his clip board

and taxi driver licence taken away for non service......
there is no muslim attitude towards dogs
Hmm another alternative fact on AB
the starting point is frequently

The Prophet said, 'Angels do not enter a house in which there are dogs or pictures'. (Sahih-Al-Bukhari, 7.833, Narrated by Abu Talha).

Muslim watchers will notice this is a hadith and not in the Quran itself ( which I thought it was until I looked it up) and those who cant tell a haditha from a surah - can stop reading now

which kinda says they shouldna

A neighbour said to me that he wanted a labby as soon as his kid was old enough. I said you are from pakistan I thought they didnt keep dogs there. - and he said - oh yes we do !
so...some may.
( too intrusive to ask if he were ahmaddiyya - they are looked on as heretics by more orthodox muslims)
Bukhari also records the time the Prophet ordered the killing all dogs except those used for work. There are other hadiths which , it is suggested, temper this assault on man's best friend: the command has been abrogated; the command only referred to rabid animals; the command only applies to black(!) dogs.

Meanwhile the mad mullahs on the Shia side having taken the more traditional stance:

Did see something recently fro Iran about dogs, but can't remember what it was.

For goodness sake stop being so hypersensitive towards anyone mentioning the word Muslim, would you like to see the word banned?

Do you yourself happen to be a closeted Muslim?

/// The panel, chaired be councillor Sultan Khan, found that the action of the driver was against both council policy and the Equality
Act. ///

I wonder if the chairman happens to be a Muslim also, if he was at least it didn't sway his findings?
With a name like Sultan Khan you didn't really need to ask that, AOG.
mikey at 17:23 yesterday - thank you ....
Makes no odds what religion he follows, he's a rubbish cab driver.
