did you read the part about her killing the dog for damaging her bible? If a "muslim" killed a dog in a similar manner for chewing her koran, would you be making the same distinction?
Well... since you asked; If the woman had been a Muslim she probably would not have owned the dog in the first place. You see, that guy, the Islamic prophet, Muhammad, forbade Muslims from owning dogs as pets (except for guard dogs) because the angels will not visit a household where a dog is. Yep, true story. Here is what the Ahadith (sayings of Muhammad) claim -
according to Islam:
A puppy deterred the "Archangel Gabriel" from entering Muhammad's house, thus, dogs are ordered to be killed. (from Sahih Muslim, Book 024, Number 5246)
"A'isha reported that Gabriel (peace be upon him) made a promise with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) to come at a definite hour; that hour came but he did not visit him. And there was in his hand (in the hand of Allah's Apostle) a staff. He threw it from his hand and said: Never has Allah or His messengers (angels) ever broken their promise. Then he cast a glance (and by chance) found a puppy under his cot and said: 'A'isha, when did this dog enter here? She said: By Allah, I don't know He then commanded and it was turned out. Then Gabriel came and Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said to him: You promised me and I waited for you. but you did not come, whereupon he said: It was the dog in your house which prevented me (to come), for
we (angels) do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a picture."
Also; Sahih Muslim, Book 024, Number 5248:
"Then on that very morning he commanded the killing of the dogs until he announced that the dog kept for the orchards should also be killed, but he spared the dog meant for the protection of extensive fields (or big gardens)."
Sunnah Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 447: Narrated ‘Aisha:
I stuffed for the Prophet a pillow decorated with pictures (of animals) which looked like a Namruqa (i.e. a small cushion). He came and stood among the people with excitement apparent on his face. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! What is wrong?" He said, "What is this pillow?" I said, "I have prepared this pillow for you, so that you may recline on it." He said, "Don't you know that angels do not enter a house wherein there are pictures; and whoever makes a picture will be punished on the Day of Resurrection and will be asked to give life to (what he has created)?”
Sunnah Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 448: Narrated Abu Talha:
I heard Allah's Apostle saying; "Angels (of Mercy) do not enter a house wherein there is a dog or a picture of a living creature (a human being or an animal).”
Sunnah Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 450: Narrated Salim's father:
Once Gabriel promised the Prophet (that he would visit him, but Gabriel did not come) and later on he said, "We, angels, do not enter a house which contains a picture or a dog.”
Sunnah Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 539: Narrated Abu Talha:
The Prophet said, "Angels do not enter a house whitch has either a dog or a picture in it.
Sunnah Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 540: Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar:
Allah's Apostle ordered that the dogs should be killed.
Sunnah Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 541: Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "If somebody keeps a dog, he loses one Qirat (of the reward) of his good deeds everyday, except if he keeps it for the purpose of agriculture or for the protection of livestock.”
Sunnah Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 542: Narrated Sufyan bin Abi Zuhair Ash-Shani:
That he heard Allah's Apostle saying, "If somebody keeps a dog that is neither used for farm work nor for guarding the livestock, he will lose one Qirat (of the reward) of his good deeds everyday.”
Sahih Muslim Book 004, Number 1032:Abu Dharr reported:
The Messenger of 'Allah (may peace be upon him) said: When any one of you stands for prayer and there is a thing before him equal to the back of the saddle that covers him and in case there is not before him (a thing) equal to the back of the saddle, his prayer would be cut off by (passing of an) ass, woman, and black Dog. I said: O Abu Dharr, what feature is there in a black dog which distinguish it from the red dog and the yellow dog? He said: O, son of my brother, I asked the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) as you are asking me, and he said: The black dog is a devil.
Sunan Abu Dawud: Book 16, Number 2839: Narrated Abdullah Ibn Mughaffal:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Were dogs not a species of creature I should command that they all be killed; but kill every pure black one.
Do dogs really frighten angels away as Islam claims? Are black dogs demons that should be killed as Islam claims? Yes, or, No?
