Wow, I'm sorry but, if you can't be around dogs for "religious reasons" then get a different job!

You can't REFUSE blind people public transport... :| that's just terrible.

This makes me so angry

What would they do if they became blind and needed a guide dog as some form of assistance?

Hah, I don't know.

How on earth are blind people supposed to get around without public transport?! It's not like they can drive :|

There is a muslim student who has a guide dog and has been allowed into a mosque with it.

You have to remember that it takes time to overcome centuries of different thinking in a different culture........ and of course education.

How can they say the dogs are unclean. I bet some of there other passengers are even more unclean.
