THE OFFENSIVE SERVICE DOG
A student at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota (I believe) had to
leave his teacher training program because his service dog was threatened
by
a Muslim student. Tyler Hurd is a 23-year-old student in a
teacher-training
program at Technical High School. Hurd has a service dog, a black lab, by
the name of Emmitt who is trained to protect Hurd when he has seizures.
Hurd's seizures can occur weekly and they are the result of a childhood
injury.
Hurd's dog Emmitt was threatened by a Somali student who is ... Muslim. As
we know, Muslims forbid the touching of dogs. But students at the Tech
schools taunted his dog and when a Muslim student threatened to kill the
dog, that's when Hurd decided to leave his training.
The schools are calling the situation a "misunderstanding." What's to
misunderstand ... the Muslim faith does not accept dogs. They are
offensive.
Therefore, it is the job of those surrounding the Muslim faith to bend to
its every request.

"I understand MSNBC has suspended Mr. Imus," Obama told ABC News, "but I
would also say that there's nobody on my staff who would still be working
for me if they made a comment like that about anybody of any ethnic group.
And I would hope that NBC ends up having that same attitude."
