Muslim leader fears conflict of rights in new B.C. taxi policy
Muslim leader fears conflict of rights in new B.C. taxi policy:
The new taxi bill of rights for Metro Vancouver ensures that Muslim taxi drivers cannot refuse to take passengers with guide dogs.
You cannot say, just because they refuse it, he should be fined. You should respect the belief of a person. Whether right or wrong, it is his interpretation.
—Aziz Khaki, the vice-chair of the Muslim Canadian Federations
Oh, really? I guess I agree with Khaki, then; to the extent that those drivers refusing to accept passengers should not be fined. I believe they should be fired for refusing to do their jobs; that’s my interpretation.
And according to Khaki, I should be respected (for believing that there should be no special treatment for people who believe ridiculous things).
