Where does this hate come from? As usual, the prophet of Islam: Muhammad. According to Abdullah bin Omar, as recorded in the canonical (or sahih) hadith collection of Al-Muslim, "The Messenger of Allah used to order the killing of dogs, so we used to send [men] to Medina and its adjoining vicinity, and we spared no dog but rather killed it." (Translation of Arabic text.) Muhammad later revised his decision by allowing dogs that earn their keep — by herding, hunting, or guarding — to exist unmolested, though the hate for them remained: angels, the prophet of Allah warned, would never visit and therefore bless homes that keep dogs.
Yeah there's that, and there's also the fact that there are packs of wild dogs in the muslim world, forget PETA... And there's not much to eat for them so I'm not saying it happens everyday but instances of children or old people getting attacked by those packs is something muslims in morocco for instance are wary of, wild dogs
And I'm pretty sure the story in medina above, has something to do with wild dog problems at the time
Then they make exceptions for trained/domesticated dogs... And again, most breeds of dogs that we are familiar with, have been created in the west... So what kind of dog are we talking about here, in medina?
Wild roman attack dogs? Crossbreeds? Nigger dogs?
Who knows
