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.

They could have chosen a more appropriate mascot but, alas, skunks aren’t native to Scotland.

Scottie dogs BUMP.

The reporter missed the crux of this story.

The Scotties, a proud and noble breed, were incensed by having to be in close proximity to mohammedans, a group they consider to be unclean.

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

Probably bit him when he was trying to get "friendly" with one.

Some Muslims believe that dogs are unclean.

So they are forced to have sex with goats, which apparently are clean. LOL

Islam is a cult centered around Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

Do not try to find reason within their dislike of dogs.

Do not try to find reason in their cleansing ritual in the bathroom which must be restarted if you pass gas while washing your feet or saying your prayers.

I had a big shepherd back in the 70s who frequently caught and shook squirrels and rabbits. A couple of shakes and dead.
Stopped him from offing a possum once. The possum was hurt and I built a pen for it and kept it for the winter till it healed and the weather heated a bit. Named the possum Mr Spacely. He would let me pet him after he hissed and barred his teeth... then he would let me pet him.

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.

I’m guessing that they really mean “gay” in its original sense of “happy” rather than the twisted version commonly in use today.

Dogs are considered ‘unclean’.
Idiots.
(yet the muzzies use their left hands as toilet paper?)
However; cats are considered clean and are permitted by the muzzies.

They don’t like them because they would alert the caravans to the caravan raiders and the founder of ‘slam was a caravan raider....
