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.

Nicely done, and a companion with “Nuke the Towelheads” would make the perfect dog twosome. :-)

Moslems should be offended at every turn.Apparently they are. Others can't do anything or say anything w/o offending them.

I think, in the end, Malaysians were offended by poop. The girl who had the dog with the Malaysia blanket was carrying him in front of the team... JUST IN CASE!!!! (Posted a pic to the thread) How many moslem majority countries are participating in this? No non-Moslem country complained...
Hindu
Christian
Even some of the Moslem countries were OK with the country being led in by a dog
So why is Malaysia so OFFENDED?

What a horrible religion to hate mans best friend. Did a dog do something to Mohammad to make him not like dogs? Mohammad was a desert bandit. Dogs would sound an alarm at strangers approaching.

Maybe they would be happier if their mulsim team was led out by 9 year old girls.
What DOESN’T offend these clowns?

“One story, unsubstantiated, is that when Muhammad died, his body was dug up and eaten by dogs. Therefore, he wound up as dog s**t.”
My Professor told our class that one day, the “King” got drunk and while in the public square tried to have “relations” with a pig. this is why Muslimes don’t drink or eat pork.

Mohammed hated dogs because they were not easy like the goats.
