According to Ask The Imam, angels will not visit a home where animals dwell. The Islamists are not big on pets (and domesticated animals can do little to survive on their own).

They are particularly hateful towards dogs; apparently something in the Koran says dogs are the scum of the earth or some such BS. Muslims consider them lower than cockroaches. So to them, gassing Rover is of no more meaning to them then deciding what to have for lunch.

(It's also why you hear them making such typically hyperbolic pronouncements about "killing the infidel running dogs!" and similar silliness.)

That's damn weird. I seem to remember a Haddith where the Prophet (PBUH) said that part of Islam was loving cats.

Of course, the Haddith are just sayings, and don't have the same force that the Noble Q'uran and Sharia law have, but still.

Odd.

"...According to Ask The Imam, angels will not visit a home where animals dwell..."

Hmmm... Dogs as moslem demon repellent...

I'm glad that the kid's Corgi is an 'inside dog'.

We've got an outside cat as well, so we're covered while relaxing in the yard too.
