Muslims break taboo to allow guide dog into mosque

A ban on any public display of religion would FIX the problem. No more active churches, synagogues, mosques..., no more teaching in schools, and no more tv programs promoting religion.

Fuck, we entered the 21st century.

A retriever is in training to become the first dog in Britain to be permitted to enter a mosque, acting as a guide for its blind Muslim owner.

The animal has been chosen because it salivates less than usual, thus reducing the risk of flicking spittle onto other worshippers at the Al Falah mosque in Leicester.

Keeping pet dogs is considered ?haram? (the Arabic word for ?forbidden?) in Islamic teaching, because they are regarded as unclean, particularly their saliva.

The mosque took its decision after advice from imams and scholars at the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB), who carried out a full review of Islamic teaching on dogs.
