  • Well my dog has never tried to blow up the house with explosives,(occasional gastric distress) Never wanted to bite anyone of another religion, (he is not a fan of the UPS guy tho) Accepts me for who I am,(even with all my faults) is loyal, doesn't wear funny clothes, (hates anything on his head) does bark at shifty looking people, (so do I) loves kids, and generally is a much better friend than 90 percent of the people I meet....So..Muslim friend or dog? Dog! paws down...anytime, anyday, anywhere....

  • The very fact that most westernized muslims *won't* speak out against the extremists makes them just as guilty in my view.

  • Okay, this is the extremist Islamists, the radicals. Once again I will reference my Muslim friends, all of whom have a dog/dogs and or cat/cats. My Muslim friends ADORE my hilarious dog Harper, and as for my cats, well they are so affectionate and loveable, who could resist them?

    • 'Muslim friends' are the new 'black friends'.

      The issue isn't that most Muslims hold these beliefs. Most Muslims don't hate the west and want to Jihad the place up. The problem is that the spokespeople for Muslims and the more radical Muslims- who neither the politically correct western media nor westernized Muslims will stand up to, end up speaking for all Muslims.

      I wish westernized Muslims would stand up to their goat molesting, women mistreating, bomb toting brothers in Allah and tell them to STFU.

      Instead we get CAIR here and radical imans in England.

      Westernized Muslims need to clean house before we just bull doze the house down.

      • Most of the "radicalized" Muslims have nothing to do with Islam at all. That is a beard for their resentment of the successes of the West, and intertribal hostilities. Look at Falujah: fighting between 2 tribes. The wanted Hussein out because he was Suni, and the Sunis ran everything. The fight cranked right back up when the Americans left. Now the Taliban sees a vacuum and are rushing in to fill it. This has been going in for centuries. We need to leave them to their own devices, or if we call it war, prosecute it as a war. America has namby pambies arouing since the end of WWII. We havebeen speaking softly and it hasn't worked. Now we need to wield a very large stick.

          • Actually, it's the "radicalized" Muslims that DO follow the Book. The "moderate" Muslims are the ones not following the teachings of Islam. If a person doesn't follow the teachings of Christ, I don't consider them a Christian. Same with Muslims.

        • Ah....

          Islam was created among other reasons to expressedly be a weapon against the West and against Judaism and Christianity.

          Even though true that there is resentment and hate here involved... I would argue that Islam was created to create resentment, envy and hate towards the West, Jews and Christians.

          Islam by and large has made it DIFFICULT to say the VERY least to live in absolute peace with those who aren't Muslims. Whenever Muslims have ENOUGH people in a country EVERY SINGLE TIME there is ALWAYS a push for Islam supremacy... every single time... count it.

          I could be hating right now but Islam IS a problem here. The fact that (seemingly) the majority are culturally linked to it or are loyal because of their parents or whatever and choose to not dabble into the true fundamental nature of Islam doesn't mean anything. ESPECIALLY as someone else mentioned when these supposedly good muslims help the radicals by breeding out the people of the country they live in and by being silent and not pushing out these radicals out of their places of worship, their homes and their culture.

    • Ach, lookit Greebo:

      Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious

  • Let's see a woman with a dog or a canine hating muslim.... guess who's going to be walking.

    They don't like black dogs!!!! Those racists!!

    Welcome to the West, leave your middle ages BS at the door, grab a brat and a beer and shut your pie whole.

    I'm going to name my big black dog Mohammed. "But that's disrespectful!"== Yes, yes it is.

    Just wait till I put his 'suicide' collar on him.

    You can have my dog when you pry his leash from my cold dead hand.

  • Repulsed by dogs, yet they are well known to bang farm animals and camels. Now there's a contradiction that is tough to follow!
    Your "religion" disallows having a pet for a dog, but you can marry a 9 year old, beat/murder/disfigure your wife without penalty, lying is encouraged, and stealing from infidels is a badge of honor. Yep, that's a religion I am going to run out and convert to! Fucking animals.

  • IMHO, my dog is a far better being than 90% of muslims.

    This comment is spot on:
    Never ran across a dog I didn’t like.
    Muslims? Different story….

    Muslims offend me, what are the hate speech cops going to do for me?

  • "dogs cannot live inside a Muslim household but must remain outside or in a separate living space or otherwise angels won’t visit the house."

    ...

    ha?

    That whole thing... WEIRD! I mean just leave it at dogs are unclean and that is it. All of this mumbo jumbo for freaking not liking dogs is just weird.

    • I don't care if they hate dogs back where they came from. It's when they emigrate to the West where people - Anglo-speaking people especially - tend to love dogs and get upset at the very sight of a dog that I get pissed. I don't care if you don't like me walking my dog past your mosque. I SIMPLY DON'T CARE.

  • Note: the photo is of a Saluki, the only dog considered "clean" enough to be allowed inside by some Muslims (Bedouins). Every dog lover has one dog he loved above all others and mine was a Saluki with coloring very similar to what you see above. His name was Jack. I wrote about Jack four years ago: "Christmas blues." I think that damn dog was telepathically linked to me somehow.

    • When I was younger ( 1972 ) , our parents wanted to adopt a Saluki from a rescue group . My parents were instructed to install a 7 foot fence around our yard . They spent , I think , around $700 for the dog and I have no idea what was spend on upgrading the height of the fence .

      The lady brought the dog over . I remember the dog was very friendly , wagging its tail , checking our living room , dining room , kitchen ..... . At some point we decided to take the dog out in the yard , so he ( ? ) could go his duty . The dog went from tree to tree checking things out . All of a sudden , it started running around the yard . Then he decided to take a victory lap or something , then proceeded to jump over the 7 foot fence , and took off down the road , out of view in moments , GONE !!!

      Being a racing type dog , we knew there was no chance in hell , of us ever catching the dog . I remember my brothers and sisters and I , cried . All in all , it was a good learning experience for all of us , most of all my parents.

      • Wow... so you never ever saw the dog again nor heard of someone somewhere with a dog like that maybe the same dog? That's... wow. Obviously that dog just wanted his or freedom but certainly that is really too bad!

        • He was too cute for words - coloring like a Bengal tiger. I'm sure he ended up in someone's family as their kid's pet. I advertised and put up posters, and he had a collar with his name and address - nothing.

          • Yeah if he was something (and let's hope nothing bad happened to him like an accident) then people probably just wanted to keep him and too bad for you lol

          • "(and let’s hope nothing bad happened to him like an accident)" or met barry outside a gambang shop.

      • Maybe it's a breed characteristic because Jack was an escape artist too. That's how I lost the whippet. Whenever Jack escaped Pete would follow, only Pete didn't have the brains to come back. Or maybe he had the brains but was too friendly. Jack lived his life with the philosophy that I was his buddy and everybody else was somewhat suspicious, so strangers couldn't get ahold of him. He loved to be petted but he'd look at me with an expression that said, "Hey, trust me, I'm not really enjoying this but it makes THEM feel good." One day when I was at work Jack figured out my latest dog-proof gate latch and opened the gate, Pete followed him out, and Pete never came back. Jack was depressed for weeks. Nothing better than a whippet for testing your speed against. He and Pete raced around the yard endlessly. I think Jack felt guilty for whatever happened to Pete.

        • A friend adopted a greyhound, the poor dog used to race uncontrollably around the yard, she would dash out and plead with the dog to stop, to no avail. When he was done, he would come in.

          • I don't know why she would want to stop him. It's beautiful to watch. Jack and Pete raced around my yard so much they wore a giant groove and built up a banked turn in one corner where they would come in at 40 mph - always Pete chasing Jack - and make a sliding turn around a burning bush. (Took me quite a while to level that area off and get grass growing again in that corner after Jack died.) It was amazing they didn't miscalculate at some point and break their necks on a fence post.
