In keeping with Islamic jurisprudence, there is no fun in Islam, no pluralism, no personal expression allowed that is deemed to be offensive, which includes dogs:

Malaysian police said a popular ethnic Chinese rapper has been detained over complaints that his latest music video featuring dancers wearing dog masks and performing “obscene” moves insulted Islam and could hurt racial harmony.

His video was to commemorate the Chinese Year of the Dog. How “racial harmony” fits in is a mystery, but “insulting Islam” has now become synonymous with “racism,” a conflation that is an easy method to drive the supremacist agenda of offence, “Islamophobia” and ultimately, blasphemy.

The hatred of dogs in Islam is embedded in Islamic doctrine:

Once Gabriel promised the Prophet (that he would visit him, but Gabriel did not come) and later on he said, ” We, angels, do not enter a house which contains a picture or a dog.” (Bukhari 4.54.50) Abdullah (b. Umar) (Allah be pleased with them) reported: Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) ordered the killing of dogs and we would send (men) in Medina and its corners and we did not spare any dog that we did not kill, so much so that we killed the dog that accompanied the wet she-camel belonging to the people of the desert. (Sahih Muslim 3811) Ibn Mughaffal reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) ordered killing of the dogs, and then said: “What about them, i. e. about other dogs?” and then granted concession (to keep) the dog for hunting and the dog for (the security) of the herd, and said: “When the dog licks the utensil, wash it seven times, and rub it with earth the eighth time.” (Sahih Muslim 551)

Just recently, businesses in Malaysia stopped displaying images of dogs on decorations and souvenirs for the Chinese Year of the Dog because of fears of upsetting Muslims.
