The guide dog argument is an argument I imagine a lot of islamophobes could use to gain the sympathies of others. Trying to show that Muslims can't even make leeway for the blind is a could easily be used as a way to manipulate people into hating Muslims. I mean the blind are pretty much one of the most pitied groups of people so trying to show another group of people being heartless towards "the blind" is a sure way to get some haters.

So let's forget about the Muslim thing for a minute. How would you feel if you were denied access to a restaurant or a cab because of your service animal, no matter what the reason? And would the reason change how you feel, i.e allergies, dog phobia? That is (or at least should be) the real issue at hand.
 
Do you recognize Ayaan Hirsi Ali? Wafa Sultan? I support them. They're both human rights activists of the rare kind.

As for refusing services to blind people in the restaurant business because of their certified service animals should not happen even if it's a religion issue.

I'm not surprised you support them. They are prominent staunch critic of Islam. :roll:
