Why does it seem Egyptians/Arabs don't like dogs , and does anyone have any experience with how your SO adapted to your dog once they came.

In terms of influence, I would name Sheikh Nuh Keller as a person with more influence. The salafis on the web seem to think he's a bigger threat to them, considering how much they rail against him. Heck, I'd say quite a few of these people listed here have more influence in the muslim community than Dr. Khaled, and many advocate "traditional" islam and have spoken against wahabbism.

At least from my own personal, limited experience, I haven't seen Dr. Khaled have a wide influence, or any influence at all, in any muslim community I've been a part of.

These people are being attacked for their views not their criticism of wahhabism. None of them have come out to criticize it as Dr. Abou el Fadl as done. Imams and scholarly types don't need to be activist, but I think there is a big difference between them and him.

When my husband was in Jordan, he would always visit with my two min pins online. When he came here, he was ok and then he started not liking their noses to touch him, or their tongue, etc. He also stated he did not like small dogs and wanted me to trade in my two min pins for a large dog. One day I came home with another min pin in which i rescued from previous owners who just wanted to get rid of him so they could get another chihauaha, or however u spell it, lol. I still have my three and he wants me to get rid of at least one. He said the average american family has one to two dogs. Now Im a professional dog walker/pet care, etc. and I sure do see alot of american families with 3 dogs. Anyway, they dont' sleep in the bedroom anymore, that's where my husband prays, so no way can they go in there. I miss them in there. so they now sleep with my daughter and I also board a lot of dogs too. I get good money for it and he doesn't seem to mind that. He doesn't like the small dogs. As long as they don't sleep with him or touch him, he's cool. It's too bad though, I feel like I have angels around me all the time. So I don't believe at all in the Hadith. I believe the Hadith is man written and it contradicts the Quran.

Kelly, you have a special husband. It's great that Soyfan loves the dogs.

My husband told me about the hadith re dogs and that angels will not return to house once a dog has been inside. Yesterday he was taking out the trash and the neighbors dog brushed up against his leg. My husband was so aggravated by this and of course he immediately began the cleaning ritual with a long hot shower. I don't like dogs inside and have no pets so we don't have a problem except with the neighbors' dogs.
