Respectful question: does the fact that dogs are good judges of character factor into why they're forbidden by Islam?

Im firm on it, and I would not let anyone make comments where they hide ANY form of sarcasm about Islam and its rulings, in the Islamic DIR. I know what Im talking about , and even if Kathryn tried to portray me as a young revolted lady , I have no problem with it since only what touched my religon angered me , but what touch my own person than I have no problem with it.
Is it really true that a dogA dog has more antibacterial materials in its mouth than a human by ten fold.
Dear Tj73, Can you please point out where it is said that abuse is allowed to animals? I have a few questions and you can think over them.Thanks Amica. I find it hard to think of any animal being condemned to abuse. And I find no evidence to support it anywhere.
You really did miss this information out from the article. Here's a note from the doctor who was Mis-quoted in the same article, hence distorting the information, hence the information in this article Inaccurate.
Can children catch worms and other diseases from Cats & Dogs?This is Dr. Chung from Hoboken Animal Hospital, and I am appalled that you did not obtain my legal consent to publish this information because I explicitly asked you if this would be published or not. This is totally unprofessional journalism.
Additionally, you did not do any research on the validity of your claim, for there is a wealth of literature in scientific articles that compares and contrasts this claim about the specific organisms that reside in a dogs mouth. Looking at the relevant veterinary journals, you would have found a more complete discussion which you totally undermine in your posting especially via my statement.
I am also involved in public health and find it important to give accurate advice (that means the information in this artical is NOT accurate avice) to the public, and I find it offensive that NYU would endorse such superficial journalism.
Roundworm are the most common parasite of the digestive system in cats and dogs. Roundworm can only spread to humans by ingesting roundworm eggs. This can happen when a child comes in contact with contaminated soil or sand and then transfers eggs to the mouth via contaminated fingers or by putting contaminated objects in their mouths.
Visceral larva migrans, is a disease caused by roundworm that can affect humans.......etc
dogs and humans share much more than precious memories, and owners may get more from their dogs than what they initially wished. Technically known as "zoonoses" dogs may transmit to humans various conditions and diseases that may cause owners to think twice before sharing that ice cream with their canine friend.
Starsoul said:The main thing is, the importance of human care definitely weighs much over the other. In some societies, dogs are kept for protection and hunting and in ISlam that is allowed. But cuddling koocheeing is discouraged, especially with dogs maybe due to their unhygienic habits, and the highly infective micro-organisms that inhabit their saliva, it is said to be an impure animal, so distance is to be kept.
Starsoul said:Cats however keep themselves quite clean, but pets on the whole are not allowed to be kept inside the house. By limiting them inside the house, you are forcefully changing their natural habitat to an artificial one, and by allowing them to be both outside and in, it is not possible to carry out regular cleaning and thoroughly maintaining your pet's hygiene all the time.

This is going to be repeated, but it has been said before that Dogs are allowed for protection and hunting assistance. And they do infact are quite useful for both of these purposes.Respectful question: does the fact that dogs are good judges of character factor into why they're forbidden by Islam?
its really good, ofcorse, and its quite admirable how people across the poor world do not have basic life or health care facilities and you can go around spending loftily on pets. Applause.I guess it's a good thing we invented rabies vaccines, wormers, flea and tick control products, etc?

They are good to sense burglar invasion, strangers in the house, for Airport /Hotel security, Sniffing drug trails, Crime scene etc and so much more.
Dogs are... already domesticated. :|Islam is only against Domesticating street animals , any other services can be utilized. The idea is more about helping 'humans' in need inspite of hoarding dogs for play.
Dogs are already domesticated. :| I mean, like, are we not supposed to be domesticating wolves here? I don't have any wolves.Annually, US is spending 45.4 BILLION DOLLARS EVERY YEAR on pets ONLY! Does anyone know how much money that is every year? Does anyone realize where else this money could be spent on saving lives of HUMANS all over the poverty stricken world instead of domesticating some animals who were already living peacefully on their own?
And a large part of that cost is medical bills (which just like for humans, medical costs just keep going up and up)- these are domesticated animals and they need our care, too.If there's any other kind of character judging that you have in mind, I'm sure we are able to do that without them. But judging by the character of some people, It is appalling how much they spend on pet care ignoring the bigger picture of human well being. And thats one thing people need to realize and stop blaming the God above for all their miseries.

It would help if people came out of the comfort luxurious zones that they happily live in for an instance to see how much misery there is in the world where people need to watch out for their kids to just survive than worry about the vet bills of their pet's tick.
What's the dog going to do for a stranger in the home... if it's not allowed in the home? If you want a dog for protection than just leaving it in the yard or chained up somewhere isn't really helpful. They're going to be so starved for attention as they are social animals and want to be around their people they're just going to nuisance bark which will desensitize you to their barking and anyone who wants to break into your house just needs to sidestep the dog and they're in.
You don't domesticate dogs, is ALL that is being said. Dogs are not allowed inside of the houses in ISLAM. For more information, if you're interested, you can refer to the links provided in explanations for it.Dogs are... already domesticated. :|

this is a DIR and i'm not up for debating why or why not can muslims keep a dog.And a large part of that cost is medical bills (which just like for humans, medical costs just keep going up and up)- these are domesticated animals and they need our care, too.
You wouldn't say that If you'd seen a poor child die because of lack of food, you really do sound like you have no idea whats going on in the world, yes dogs don't cause it, Humans do, by overspending on dogs? : PIt's not as if having a pet and caring for poor people is mutually exclusive- and really, pet dogs are not the cause of poverty in the world.
I run a free clinic for poor people in far flung areas, your point?I have to ask, Starsoul, what are you doing for poor people who can't get medical treatment? In fact, where were any of you about two years ago when I tried to kill myself because I am poor, without health insurance, in severe pain and needing major surgery, and I wasn't getting any medical treatment? :sarcastic
Well, at least my dog was here for me. We're just sitting here in the lap of luxury bathing in frontline
