Authorities in the Saudi city of Mecca have banned the sale of pet cats and dogs at the request of religious police, the Arab News reported Thursday.
The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice made the request after many young Saudis had gone outdoors with their pet dogs thus violating the kingdom's culture and traditions.

I didn't see a single dog in over ten years of my sad life in Saudi Arabia. There, I only heard a dog once and it sounded like someone was beating the poor thing.
You have no idea how utterly repulsed Muslims feel when they see Westerners petting a dog on a TV show. To them, a dog is a filthy and dirty creature. They don't get how anyone could lower themselves to touch such a hideous thing. In my extended family in Pakistan, only one relative kept a dog. That dog was always chained and kept outside for protection. More than once in Pakistan, I've seen a group of kids throw rocks at a hapless street dog and heard the terrible cries of pain.
In "moderate" Turkey early this year: "Pro-islamic municipalities in Turkey are killing stray dogs, animal rights groups claim. Municipal workers are hunting, torturing and killing the animals by the hundreds, the campaigners say."

From the link above "Animal rights campaigners who accompanied Miss Isikalp last week said that at least two of the dogs had been sexually abused."
So they may be unclean but it doesn't stop Muslims having sex with them. Come on Miss Piggy!!!
Wait, I think I may have figured out how repulsed these Muslims you describe are by dogs. They are as repulsed by dogs as I am by them.
Anyone who would do the things you describe them doing to dogs does not have much humanity in their soul.
I remember as a girl, and that's 40 years ago, buying a Joan Baez album with a poem by Bob Dylan on the back in which Joanie is telling him about how she lived for a time in a Muslim land and remembered them stoning the dogs to death. Strange how long it takes for the significance of some things to become apparent. But there's a myriad of nasty little details like this about Islamic "culture" that it would be useful for the public to know more about... perhaps some of them will begin to ask questions of these "nice" Muslim neighbors of theirs.
