It was a simple but telling story from
"multicultural" Britain. A Muslim minicab driver refused
to carry a blind passenger in London because her guide dog was
"unclean" according to his religious beliefs.
The driver, Abdul Rashhed Majekodumni, ended up in court on Friday
and was fined £1,400 because UK law requires all licensed cab
drivers to carry guide dogs. The cabbie, however, remains
unrepentant, and says he will continue to refuse to carry guide
dogs.
Source This is an easy one. If your religious or cultural beliefs prevent you from doing the job, then you're not fit to have the job. Any questions?
Oh... but then the taxi company couldn't hire any muslims. And that's tantamount to religious discrimination.
