Dogs in IslamDogs in IslamDogs are considered so impure in the religion of Islam that most fundamentalist believe that something as small as even touching a dog requires a ritualistic purification. A bowl that a dog eats from cannot even be used until it has been washed seven times, and then scrubbed with earth. It is important to know that although dogs are considered unclean, the prophet Mohammed opted not to exterminate all dogs for two reasons. 1. Because Allah created them, only Allah can destroy them. 2. Because of their proven skills in assisting hunters and shepherds in their work. It has also been said that Mohammad even had his own dog for hunting. He did however condone the killing off all black dogs with light markings above the eyes, as he believed this was the marking of the devil.
