Treating Badly Those With Challenges Is Simply PC Gone Crazy
Reader comment on item: Muslim Taxi Drivers vs. Seeing-Eye Dogs
Submitted by AnneM (United States), Oct 18, 2006 at 20:14
A person who has sincere faith in God would treat with respect and consideration those who have challenges. This includes those who are blind and need the help of a seeing eye dog. The dog is simply doing a job for the person who needs the dog's help. What has happened in the above article shows PC having gone crazy.
