re: #31 Cannadian Club Akbar

I thought some denominations of Islam find dogs unclean.

In a word: tough.

Also, there doesn’t seem to be any such actual doctrine in Islam. Mo didn’t like dogs, Muslims wanna be like Mo, so they don’t like dogs, either. But there’s no explicit edict to stay away from dogs.

And, as was pointed out yesterday, there are alternatives. Bears. Giant rats of some kind. Probably others.

Or, even simpler: if you have an aversion to dogs, step this way for a more up close and personal inspection by that person with the latex gloves…
