In his "I'm still for the ground zero mosques but..." Piece in Slate last week Our hero pointed to one terrible consequence of what happens when you let the uppity Muslims get, er, uppity.
"Muslim cabdrivers in other American cities have already refused to take passengers with "unclean" canines.'
Oh the humanity! (or whatever the doggy equivalent is)
In an effort to back up Christopher's frightening story I thought I'd deeply research this issue spread by typing "New York dog taxi" into google and finding this lovely site
which gives you a breakdown of the rules about dogs and public transport in New York.
So what does it tell us?
Taxis dont have to take dogs
Greyhound buses, ironically, allow no dogs at all.
New York Subways only allow canines in kennels or bags (?)
New Jersey, ditto
Amtrak no dogs on the train.
So which conclusion do we draw? I'd say it is either
A) The Islamonazi conspiracy against Man's best friend is reaching dangerous levels.
B) A washed up journalist, desperately looking for evidence for the non-existent Sharia/Muslim threat to America threw out the first anacdotal story he could think of, a story so weak that a 2 second Google search makes it laughably obvious that said journo has not a clue.
I'd go for "A" personally but, as always here at HW, we merely report, you decide.
