44. No, it's not.
"The belief that carrying alcohol or dogs, including those that help people with disabilities, violates religious beliefs is 'unfortunate,' Airports Commissioner Bert McKasy said."

That's a quote from some airport admin. about something that's not even in the Koran.

"A driver who refuses to transport a passenger with a service dog, in violation of the federal American with Disabilities Act, already faces a 30-day suspension of the airport license, Hogan said. A driver who refuses to transport someone carrying wine is told to go to the back of the taxicab line."

That's a statement of the law.

"Additionally, dogs are considered unclean and Muslims are required to repeat their ablutions if they come into contact with them before praying."

That's just an explanation about muslims and dogs.

No where does it mention any muslim cabbie refusing service for the handicapped and their service dogs.
