Some taxi drivers in Sydney are refusing to carry blind people with guide dogs, citing religious reasons.
Could someone please tell me what religion specifically states that a blind person and guide dog cannot ride in a taxi?

I don't have a newspaper article as of yet. It was on the news this morning. If I come across something I shall put a link in.
I have come across this on the Channel 7 news site.

Islam believes dogs are unclean.
But I'd be really interested in a newspaper article on this. Can you post it?

Islam thinks dogs are unclean.
My religion says I'm allowed to beat such discriminative taxi drivers up. Would that work? Would I be able to demand the same amount of religious respect as these taxi-drivers do?

Some Muslims believe it is unclean for a dog to occupy the same internal space as a human.

Probably the religion of Islam since they have a thing against dogs.

Needy people need spacial care of transportation. Dogs are dirty animals and can not be clean I love my dog too as a Muslim.

I don't know hun, you would have to contact that company in Sydney and ask why they would hire such people. Christians can't answer for other Christians, we are all accountable for our own sins and lifestyles.

dogs think Islamic people are unclean and don't like to travel with them.
In NYC the cabbies usually site health codes, that only apply to restaurants, when they don't want a dog in their cab.
