The wiki link I posted shows -
Religious impurity

Muslims generally cast dogs in a negative light because of their ritual impurity. Muhammad didn't like dogs according to Sunni tradition.[2] (However, this may simply reflect general cultural views of the time, rather than a personal animosity.[4]) It is said that angels do not enter a house which contains a dog. Though dogs are not allowed for pets, they are allowed to be kept if used for work, such as guarding the house or farm, or when used for hunting purposes.
In a tradition found in the Sunni hadith book, al-Muwatta, Muhammad states that the company of dogs voids a portion of a Muslim's good deeds.[5]

I suppose that the muslims who keep dogs are like the catholics who eat fish on Fridays.

Catholics can eat meat on Fridays.
- The Pope eats beaver, in particular on a Friday or in Lent. The Roman Catholic Church designated it a fish because they are scaly and live in water. Catholics are not allowed to eat meat on Fridays or in Lent. 400 tonnes of capybara, the largest rodent of Earth, is eaten during Lent in Venezuela. Beavers excrete castoreum, which is used in aspirin.

They can please themselves i usually do.

I understand that Halal and Kosher rules are religious practices, so why don't all christians have a rule about 'no meat on Friday'?

not taking the pee there either but it seems some muslims born here will happily own a dog yet others have an irrational dislike for them.

It seems the muslims that are more westernized dont have a problem with dogs yet those that follow the whole tradition and wear the outfit and little hat etc do.

despite my best effort im sure i have just been very politically incorrect but one can only do one's best

I worked with a Muslim who was dedicated and always carried the Koran with him, if a dog came anywhere near, he would abandon his job, go home and bathe to remove all traces of "dog"

They don't, haven't had for years, except probably Good Friday, but I don't think that's just a catholic thing
