#1 No dogs allowed? Better have a talk with the Bedouins, then. The Saluki has been the prized companion of the Bedouin tribes for 7,000 years--it's the oldest known pure breed of dog. Wikipedia says:

The breed is treasured by the Bedouin for the white spot on the dog's chest. The Bedouin value them, breeding them for both beauty and hunting qualities. A saluki, instead of being viewed as unclean, often sleeps in tents with their owners, to be protected from the heat of the day and the cold of the night.

Not only that, they don't like dogs - man's best friend, and one of the first animals domesticated.

#4 They're probably jealous that, unlike dogs, they can't lick their balls...

#6 I've had a theory for a while that the fatwa on dogs was the 7th century version of a ban on handguns. Big Mo expressly forbade the storage and use of dogs in the home, but made some allowances for the herding-type and flock-watching dogs. Kinda like allowing shotguns for the hunter-voters today.

Dogs could make it inconvenient for a successful jihad, 'specially when it came to divvying up the wimminz and winsome young boys, dogs being the protective type, y'know.

#7 Afghan hounds, also known as Baluchi hounds, according to Wikipedia, are an ancient breed. link

Seafarious, your theory is very plausible. Winsome boys and winsome dogs are a classic combination.
