According to Islam scripture Muslim, volume 1 (a book of Hadith- collection of Mohammed's sayings/commands), Footnote #486- The dog is of the unclean beasts according to Islam and eating eating its flesh is forbidden and its keeping in the house is also prohibitted for the Muslims. And in the Bukhari (another book of the Hadith) vol IV, no. 540- Allah's messenger (Mohammed) ordered that the dogs should be killed.

I've always thought Islam was despicable just for their disdain for Man's Best Friend, let alone all their other "issues".

I'd bet you the real reason the tenets of islam scorn dogs is that a good dog loves and obeys his master, and constitutes a real and direct threat to any grandee who decides to victimize said master. islam really does seem to be all about the creation of an "inverted T" shaped society, in which the masses form the powerless mudsill ruled by a direct linear power chain. Dogs are weapons, and thus do not fit comfortably into this form of power/social structure.
Any system with no room for dogs is automatically worthless in my book.
