Looking closely at the life of Muhammad, we find that he was a superstitious man and many of his superstitions became part of the religion that originated with him – Islam. One aspect in which this is manifest is in his attitude toward dogs. He made a number of irrational comments about dogs. His beliefs on dogs may have come from various sources such as cultural bias, pagan concepts, demonic influences, or perhaps from his own imagination. In any case they portray a man ascribing to superstition. His perspective concerning dogs is somewhat bizarre and deserves a close examination.
From Bukhari
Vol. 4, #540 - Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: Allah's Apostle ordered that the dogs should be killed.
From the Hadith of Abu Dawud -
#2839 - Abd Allah B. Mughaffal reported the apostle of Allah as saying: Were dogs not a species of creature I should command that they all be killed; but kill every pure black one.
The Hadith's note for #2839 says, "The prophet did not order the killing of all the dogs, for some are to be retained for hunting and watching. He ordered to kill the jet black ones. They might be more mischievous among them.

This Arizona Muslim killed his uncles' dog because they are "unclean".
For reasons never quit clear, he loved cats.
He liked cats and hated dogs...the ultimate cat lover.
Welcome to FR.
Your link ain't makin' it.
I figured that from the title he probably married a dog. Muslim monkeys.
Oh, awesome! I just realized my dog (75 lb. pit/chow mix with completely black fur/nails/tongue/mouth) is the enemy of Islam! Sweet!
For the same reason he doesn't like pigs.
The incest taboo.
Period
May I be the first.
NB4ZOT!
Keep Muslims away from your dog ping!
Awwww, does spawn of Satan have to go out?
Good Spawn, have a bone.
Just because he/she is a newbie?
Picture of the terminator?
I've known muslims and I've known Dogs. I prefer the company of Dogs.
Yes. As I recall, the Mullahs clamped down on dogs in Iran about a year ago. They were especially scandalized if women were seen in public walking dogs.
I remember reading somewhere that Muhammed first told his followers to kill all dogs, but then changed it and told them only to kill the small dogs. Presumably that fits in with the hadith quoted here that says you don't need to kill guard dogs.
This is a hit-and-runner. I will keep my dogs, and condemn Islam as the death cult that it is. This N00B is trollin'
I recently posted the idea that we clone the recently deceased
"ugliest dog in the world" and release the freaks in Gitmo at night.
I wasn't kidding.
Dogs unclean.I never met a dog thatwiped his butt with his left paw.
Kill, kill, kill. Killing is the remedy. Does anyone else detect a recurring pattern in Islam?
Man sometimes santa just keeps on giving.
