MUSLIM taxi drivers are refusing to carry blind passengers with their guide dogs or anyone carrying alcohol.
At least 20 dog-aided blind people have lodged discrimination complaints with the Victorian Taxi Directorate. Dozens more have voiced their anger.
And there have been several complaints that drivers refuse to allow passengers to carry sealed bottles of alcohol.
Victorian Taxi Association spokesman Neil Sach said the association had appealed to the mufti of Melbourne to give religious approval for Muslim cabbies to carry guide dogs.
One Muslim driver, Imran, said yesterday the guide dog issue was difficult for him.
"I don't refuse to take people, but it's hard for me because my religion tells me I should not go near dogs," he said.
There are about 2000 Muslims among drivers of Melbourne's 10,000 taxis. Many are from countries with strict Islamic teachings about "unclean" dogs and the evils of alcohol.
Drivers who refused to carry blind people with their dogs attended remedial classes at Guide Dogs Victoria, Mr Sach said.
"They are taught why blind people need dogs," Mr Sach said.
"The Victorian Taxi Association has included a program in their taxi driver training program."
Guide Dogs Victoria spokeswoman Holly Marquette said blind people regularly reported taxi drivers refusing to carry them because of their dogs.
"It's sad and quite upsetting," Ms Marquette said. "We try to work with new drivers to educate them about their responsibilities and the needs and rights of blind people.
"We explain that the dog is clean, well trained, won't go near them and will stay in the foot well with the client.
"But it's a high turnover industry and it's hard to capture everyone."
Ms Marquette said there was a legal requirement for taxi drivers, shops, restaurants, hotels and supermarkets to accept guide dogs.
Opposition transport spokesman Terry Mulder said the guide dog issue would exacerbate the taxi industry's flagging respect in the community.
Under the State Government's customer charter, taxi passengers have the right to "be accompanied by a guide dog or hearing dog".
Mr Sach said the problem was often reversed and that Muslim drivers suffered discrimination from passengers who abused them for being "terrorists".
"Muslims are good people and the community has to realise that the days of the white Anglo-Saxon Protestant are well and truly over," he said.
Over the past two years the licences of 306 drivers were revoked or suspended, including those who refused to carry the blind and their dogs.

Ik vind dat het tijd wordt voor nog een 0110 event, maar dan tegen religieuze intolerantie ipv tegen het blok.

Nee, laat maar doen. Deze religie is het beste voorbeeld van onverdraagzaamheid en is zijn eigen put aan het graven.

Neenee, ze gaan enkel reclameren als blinde taxichauffeurs gaan weigeren om moslims mee te nemen!

Enkel als die blinde taxichauffeur geen volgeling van Mohammed is!

Goed voorstel. Blinde taxichauffeurs veroorzaken volgens mij gemakkelijker ongevallen door hun beperking. Laten we hen de moslims vervoeren.

Waarom verbaasd me dit niet? Mijn ouders zijn net terug van een vakantie in Egypte. De oorspronkelijke bewoners daar zijn/waren Koptische Christenen & Joden...Tot ze onder de voet werden gelopen door de Arabieren. Vandaag de dag zijn deze Christenen nog steeds met een 15 miljoen (en er zijn regelmatig verhalen van geweld op deze gemeeschap door de 'religion of peace').

Waar ik van opkeek: Moslims krijgen overheidssubsidie...de Koptische Christenen NIKS. Hun Mokeeën liggen er weelderig bij, de kerkjes maar armzalig.

Waarom krijgen Moslims hier wél subsidie?

Omdat onze regeringen de situatie die u beschrijft kennen en teveel schrik hebben van deze "vredelievende" mensen die ze ooit als gastarbeiders naar hier gelokt hebben.
