There has been criticism by Malaysian government about the use of Scottie dogs with tartan coats on to lead out the competitors in Commonwealth Games!.... |

I have become extremely tired of hearing about Muslim views on how they are offended by people or things that disrespect their religion. |

Just to be clear it wasn't the Malaysian government who criticised the use of dogs it was an opposition party. The actual government has said nothing about it. Bit of a difference there, I think. |

Depends what report you read......it was the deputy opposition leader who voiced it in the global news...but another report states that the government and religious leaders are condemning the use of the scotties. |

Can't find any report that says the government itself has objected, only opposition politicians and religious leaders. |

Not all Muslims are fundamentalists just like all Christians aren't fundamentalists. There are varying degrees of "observance" and rules within all religions. |

I think...... that the Scottie dogs should not have been there in coats anyway, dogs should not be made to wear coats in hot weather for such a reason,( or actuallyfor any reason, unless they have no coat of their own ie medical reasons, or are one of those poor inbred scraps of un-natural doggyhood which are too frail to keep themselves warm. the ones which are 'toys' for silly women) |

They must have known in advance that dogs were going to be included in the opening ceremony so why didn't they opt out? |
