Refusal to accept ‘impure’ animal leads to £1,400 fine (Gulf Times, Doha)

A Muslim minicab driver refused to take a blind passenger because her guide dog was "unclean".

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

Islamic tradition warns Muslims against contact with dogs because they are seen as impure.


Asshat doesn't even know his own faith. Yes, dogs are seen as unclean, but they are tolerated if they provide a service or function, such as hunting, guarding, or guide services.

*sigh*

There are a lot of asshats who don't know their own religious laws. Sigh. You're not going to EAT the dog, stoopid, just drive it around.

Long Live The Dog!

How disapointing...I thought you were gonna say that the guide dog was an experimental genetics project and the cabbie freaked out when he noticed it's cloven hooves!! ^0^
