Reply to "Muslim Student Threatens To Kill Service Dog"

Some ultra-orthodox Muslims do not keep pets at all. The dog is "ritually unclean" but Muslims are supposed to treat all animals with kindness, and most schools of Islam law allow the keeping of dogs for work, i.e., shepherds, hunting, etc.
This is evidently more a Somali taboo than a general Muslim one. I know a number of Palestinians and they love and keep dogs. The Afghans certainly keep dogs as do the Iranians and Turks.
