Dogs in are considered to be “haram” (taboo) in Islam, and thus they are often tortured and killed in Islamic countries. Dogs are permitted in Islam for hunting and herding sheep, but in all other cases they are not. Dogs are not allowed in the houses of Muslims, and black dogs are thought to be “a devil.”
This article explains how the U.S. has ceased supplying bomb-sniffing dogs to Muslim countries due to the dogs being abused by their handlers, how Muslim cab drivers in Western countries frequently refuse to drive passengers with disabilities who have guide dogs, an example is shown of how dogs in Islamic countries are often tortured and killed, and specific Islamic writings are shown that are the basis for such attitudes.
THE ISSUE OF BOMB SNIFFING DOGS ON LOAN TO THE MIDDLE EAST BEING ABUSED BY THEIR MUSLIM HANDLERS
In 2019 the United States has recently banned the transfer of military-trained bomb-sniffing dogs to the Middle East due to such dogs routinely being abused by their Muslim handlers. See this Breitbart article (where the above images came from) and this Judicial Watch article about the topic.
MUSLIM CAB DRIVERS IN THE WEST FREQUENTLY REFUSE TO DRIVE DISABLED PASSENGERS WHO HAVE GUIDE DOGS
Following are some mainstream news reports of Muslim cab drivers refusing to drive passengers who have guide dogs:
The above footage of a Somalian taxi driver in England refusing to take a passenger who had a guide dog, which eventually led to the cab company saying they will no longer give the cabbie work, but with him still free to work for any other cab company. See a 2016 DailyMail article about the matter.
A 2018 Leichstershire Live article explains that a man boarded a cab with his guide dog in Leicestershire, UK, which sent the Muslim cabbie into a frenzy and made him promptly demand that he get out. The passenger then filed a complaint with the local magistrate and the cabbie pleaded not guilty, saying the dog licked the gear stick and would have potentially triggered the hand brake.
A 68 year old sight impaired woman with her dog were refused a ride in a Worchester UK Taxi, according to a 2019 Worchester News article.
In the above 2019 Tampa, Florida news report, a blind woman explains that she was told by a cabbie that she needed to “put her dog in the trunk.” See the link for the report as well.
A 2019 Swindon Advertiser article says that a survey shows that 75% of blind people in the UK have been told that they cannot use a taxi or they have been disallowed from entering a shop or restaurant.
In 2019, a Muslim cab driver lost his license after he refused to pick up a blind man and his dog from a pub in Nottingham, UK. See a Metro.co.uk article.
A 2020 British Columbia, Canada Surrey Now-Leader article explains that a cab drove past a sight disabled man when it saw that he had a guide dog.
DOGS ARE FREQUENTLY TORTURED AND KILLED IN ISLAMIC COUNTRIES
Warning: This is an extremely disturbing video. It shows dogs and puppies on the streets of Iran being killed with acid being injected into them. Instead of using a humane method to euthanize the dogs, an acid is used in the video which is the least expensive poison that makes the dogs cry out in horrible agony as they die.
PASSAGES FROM THE QURAN AND HADITH THAT DICTATE NEGATIVE MUSLIM ATTITUDES TOWARD DOGS
The Angel Gabriel allegedly said: “.. We do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image.” Sahih Muslim 5511/81 (2104)
“It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah ordered that dogs be killed.” Sahih Muslim 4016/43 (1570)
“It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar said: ‘The Messenger of Allah used to order that dogs be killed, and I went throughout Al-Madinah, and we did not spare any dog but we killed it, to such an extent that we would even kill the dog of a woman belonging to the desert people.” Sahih Muslim describes 4018/45
[Note: After some of Muhammad’s followers complained about the ruling of killing dogs due to their using dogs for hunting and herding sheep, Muhammad gave the following command:] “It was narrated that Ibn al-Mughaffal said: ‘The Messenger of Allah enjoined the killings of dogs, then he said: ”What is the problem with them and dogs?“ Then he granted concession with regard to dogs for hunting and herding sheep.’”
“.. [a man’s] prayer will be interrupted if a donkey, a woman, or a black dog passes in front of him. … What is the difference between a black dog, and a red or yellow dog? He said: “O son of my brother, I asked the Messenger of Allah the same question, and he said ‘the black dog is a devil.’” Sahih Muslim Hadith 1032
