“There is a legal requirement to permit access to assistance dogs and such beliefs are not a defence against non-compliance.”

The law is clear, not much to add to that.

Your deliberately avoiding the race hate issue - I await its inclusion with a degree of trepidation

The guide dogs don't grasp the concept either.

It's a religious problem.

its a legal problem

And what gives you the right to deny anyone the right to practise their chosen profession?

Just who the feck do YOU think you are?

It's not Gus that's making that decision, it's the Law makers who made it, all Gus is pointing out is that they have legal obligations..like it or lump it.

Muslims did not enter this line of work blindly, they knew the law before they started as It would be written in their Taxi/PH drivers license Contract, Knowing that they were legally obliged to carry Guide dogs should have made them sit back and think about whether this career was for them or not on religious grounds.

No point in entering a career that you knew that in parts would clash with your religious beliefs and then expecting the Rules of the job to bend just to suit you.

We can't have one set of laws for them and another for us, It's either accept the laws as they stand or they can go change professions to appease their own Gods.
