Interesting debate re Islam and dogs. Found this site that does a good job of explaining sources of Islamic practices regarding dogs. Worthwhile reading!
"No statements regarding dogs as unclean are found in the Quran but they abound in the various collections of traditions (Hadith). These traditions are a primary foundation of Islamic theology and are the basis of many Islamic laws. They render dogs as "impure" and worse. All Hadith are from the Sahih collections of Bukhari and Muslim, or the Sunan of Abu Dawud. After the Quran, Bukhari's set of Hadith are regarded to be the second most important books in Islam, followed closely by the Hadith of Muslim."
