There are laws against said discrimination. If any blind folks have actually suffered this, I ask them to take it to the proper authorities.

If they feel discriminated against they can file a complaint like anyone else.

I don't care if a cab driver doesn't want to carry me for whatever reason, I'll find another cab. If they own their own cab, the free market will fix that soon enough. If they work for a taxi company, I'll write the company and express my displeasure.

Besides, how is this any different than Christian stores not selling beer on Sunday? Yes, I've seen that in the south. I don't really care, its their store, but guess what, I don't have to buy my beer there.
by refusing to carry passengers with service dogs, they are in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Good reading. It seems that in the 1990s when they were just starting to flock into this country blind people had rights that are steadily being taken away by the courts and CAIR. I wonder if this guy was forced to move to this country so he could be discriminated against. "People from the Middle East especially, we have been indoctrinated with a kind of fear of dogs. The driver has a genuine fear and he acted in good faith. He's acted in accordance with his religious beliefs." Yep it seems that CAIR and most Muslims feel that they shouldn't be forced to live under our legal system if it conflicts with theirs. I really don't think that one was forced to move here.

Since you live closer to that area than I do maybe you could tell me that Muslims aren't congregating in smaller cities up there in the Upper US. Or are they maybe doing just that?

I hope you read this.

You do know that written language came from the middle east, and the same people who are now Muslims, right? Please, read the article, lots of great inventions.

BTW, you do realize that the Mayans and Aztecs had some of the greatest cultures and cities the world had ever known. Tenochtitlan was either second, or first in worlds population size when the Europeans discovered America. They had science, religion, math, and lots of things figured out.

Hell, the Mayans (todays latinos) traced stellar movements down to the letter, for many thousands of years into the future.

You should really get out more.
I will gladly read your link after you read mine that started this thing.

Probably about the same time that our Jewish citizens will.

You really don't know anything about history do you?
Was the massacre at Wounded Knee and so many of the others like that done with disease, or guns? Just wondering.

What do you mean by the "Upper US"?
