dogs on Vancouver transit worry Muslim leader
 
I hope the Vancouver transit doesnt get sued by the muslim community if a dog does end up accidently touching a man

Specially trained bomb-sniffing dogs might soon be patrolling Metro Vancouver's buses and SkyTrains just in time for the Olympics, but that has some Muslims concerned.

The Metro Vancouver Transit Police Service is in the process of selecting the handlers and dogs that will be part of the two-year pilot project, said deputy chief George Beattie.

Once the teams are trained, the dogs will work on the entire transit system, including buses, SkyTrains and SeaBus ferries.

But the idea of being sniffed up and down by a slobbery pooch — no matter how well trained — has already raised concerns among some members of Metro Vancouver's Muslim community.

Some devout Muslims consider dogs to be unclean animals and try to avoid any contact with them. Some Muslim cab drivers in Vancouver have even refused to take guide dogs in their vehicles and will call for a second vehicle to take the fare instead.

Shawket Hassan, the vice-president of the B.C. Muslim Association, says he wants to make sure the dogs will not touch passengers during searches, which could lead to problems, particularly for Muslims heading to a mosque to pray.

"If they touch the body, then there is a probability they will leave some saliva on the clothes," said Hassan.

'If I am going to the mosque and pray … and I have this saliva on my body … I have to go and change or clean.'
— Shawket Hassan, vice-president of the B.C. Muslim Association"If I am going to the mosque and pray, or doing something that way, and I have this saliva on my body … I have to go and change or clean," said Hassan.

He pointed out that devout Muslims pray five times a day, no matter where they are.

Hassan said he wants to work with the transit police to develop guidelines that would keep the dogs at least 30 centimetres away from passengers.

But Hassan stressed that Muslims have respect for all animals, including dogs, and they have no objections to using the dogs for security.

"This is a step we would support, but … we would like to be informed," he said.

Training the dogs to sniff 30 centimeters away from the person, that's tricky.

Ah those whacky Muslims

Agent 488 12-21-2009 10:26 PM

you have a strange obsession with Muslims.

what would one call it is one had a similar obsession with blacks or jews?

gleem 12-21-2009 11:31 PM

they will cave in to the minority and get rid of dogs cause muslims are the new gangsters of the world and everyone is afraid of them... soon dogs will be banned in your homes at the risk of a beheading ;)

Bahaha, so ironic...have these Muslim Taxi drivers actually smelled themselves?? The guide dog is a much cleaner animal, and better trained. Fucking idiots!

no one appreciates the irony of muslims being against bomb sniffing dogs?

dav3 12-22-2009 04:25 AM

because dog germs are what you should be worried about on public buses and trains

bronco67 12-22-2009 08:08 AM

I hope they don't bend over for these stupid muslim fuckwads.

That is not the only problem dogs will face: Polluting pets: the devastating impact of man's best friend

WDchris 12-22-2009 10:33 AM

Dogs are man's best friend. You should be happy when they slobber on you.

i wonder how that lawsuit would play out.

Muslim cab driver refuses to take blind person with dog.

Blind person sues muslim for discrimination against his disability.
Muslim sues blind gut for discriminating against his religious beliefs.

then the dog sues both because in the dogs religion blind people and mulsims are unclean

Pics Traffic 12-22-2009 11:27 AM

what is "society"? there has to be some semblance of reason and some standards as to which "society" will adhere to... not simply be bullied around with the silent majority continually pandering to the vocal minority.

OR... try to go to Pakistan and tell them they need to adapt to your christian beliefs and see how quick everyone bends over to accommodate you.
