Scottie Dogs At (Commonwealth) Games 'Disrespectful' To Muslims
The Daily Beast ^ | July 29, 2014 | Tom Skyes

The Commonwealth Games, which opened last week in Glasgow, Scotland in the presence of the Queen, was, like all sporting events these days, ushered into existence to the accompaniment of a lavish and visually impressive opening ceremony.

But amidst the dancing mechanical giants and gay kisses, the organizers also sought to celebrate Scottishness by having each team led out by Scottie dogs wearing tartan coats embroidered with the name of the team.

Social media, predictably, fell in love with the doggies, however now political and religious leaders in Malaysia have cried foul, and are accusing the organizers of disrespect towards Muslims by forcing their teams to be led out by a dog.

What a horrible religion to hate man's best friend. Did a dog do something to Mohammad to make him not like dogs?

Moslems should be offended at every turn. In fact, they should be so offended that they go back to where they came from, so they won’t be offended anymore.

I suspect "gay kisses" were much more offensive to Muslims than some dogs, but no one wants to open that can of worms.

My female Brittany catches moles and brings them to the door and drops them at my feet unharmed. I then transport them to a nearby wood lot as they are not welcome in my lawn.

A Scottie dog named Nessie sold me my house. The little devil ran ahead of us on our tour with the realtor and jumped up on the furniture in each room as if to say, “ This is the living room and I can perch on this silk chair if I want to.” And, “This is the bedroom. The kids who live here throw their clothes on the floor, and that’s OK.”

It was difficult to come to terms with the sellers. At oone point, I told the realtor to include the dog in our next offer.

I should add that “Nessie” inserted himself in EVERY picture we took of the house after ouroffer was finally accepted. Nessie stood for The Loch Ness Monster”.

Bowser is a speed killer. Its amazing how fast and efficient he is at tracking them and killing them. He only leaves a hole about 3 inches across.
