Jihad against dogs

The use of Scottish terrier dogs as mascots at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow has been branded "shameful" and "offensive" by Malaysian politicians.
Around 40 of the black "Scottie" dogs were used as mascots to lead out each team at last Wednesday’s opening ceremony at the Celtic Park stadium. The dogs, which wore tartan coats with the name of each competing country on, proved popular on social media, with Hamish – the dog who led out Team Scotland – receiving the largest cheer.
However, some politicians and religious leaders in Malaysia have taken exception to the dogs, claiming that associating them with Muslim countries is "disrespectful".
Some Muslims view dogs as "unclean" in Islamic culture, with more extreme Islamist groups even advocating jihad against the animals.

And as for this remark
"It is hoped this incident can teach other Western countries to be more respectful in the future."
It's Monday , I am tired of idiots so Get Stuffed would be my politest reply.
Err, where does it say the Malaysian parliament have been debating this?
No devout religious leader should ever be allowed to enter politics.
Indeed.
It's just the usual more extreme Islamic politicians who have a problem with it.
I assume the opposition party and other Malaysian MP's are a part of Parliament in Malaysia just as Labour is part of Parliament in the UK.
Yes, but just because an MP says something it doesn't mean Parliament have been debating it, does it?
Because it's about Muslims.
Even if people are willing to vote for them?
Yeah, but quite honestly, who gives two shits what they think.
If they were doing the organising in their country, then they get to call the shots, otherwise accept that other people have opinions and look at life differently to them.
Anyway, I don't see why anybody here should accept lectures from a country which treats gay people so badly. Bollocks to 'em.
Malaysia isn't calling for a Jihad on dogs, just a few individual extremist nutters. Nothing new there.
There'll be somebody out there calling for Jihad on cats too. It doesn't make them worth listening too or worrying about. There are all sorts of nutters out there.

I really hope that Jock got a few extra treats for that excellent piece of trollery.
Here's one of the individuals in question:
It's like taking into account what the KKK say.
Just because pigs are dirty, doesn't stop crackling
I wouldn't vote for anyone who believed in God. Too irrational to govern.
I agree.
It's sort of a shame every PM we've ever had has been religious though.
