Not all Muslim beliefs are based on the Qu'ran. The so called Hadiths are considered to be the word of God by many Muslims as well.
I've noticed that many Muslim shop + restaurant owners will not allow dogs to enter. The imman in the video sites a Hadith passage warning about black dogs in particular. It is not a Mideastern custome to allow a dog to live in a home. DAS (formerly BushAdmirer) @menantol

Anna, I’ll suggest a somewhat different view.
The Qur’an is considered as the word of God (Allah) as revealed direct to Muhammad by the Angel Gabriel. As such the words are to be taken as they are with no interpretation. The intent is to read or say these words in Arabic as that is the way they were related. The intent is also to memorize these words exactly as written.
Since some find the words of the Qur'an as confusing as applied to daily life, the Hadith is usewd for daily instruction. The Hadith is not considered the word of God but rather recordings of the life acts of Muhammad. Since he is considered the Prophet of Allah, his acts are the role model of living the perfect life of a Muslim.
As to Dogs in Islam, they are traditionally seen as impure, and the Islamic legal tradition has developed several injunctions that warn Muslims against most contacts with dogs.
Some Muslims have used this view to justify the abuse and neglect of dogs, however such cruelty contradicts the Qur'an's view that all animals form "communities like you."

As I unterstand the hadiths @menantol they are the writings of alleged Muslim prophets and seem to have much more relevance than the writings of any Christian saints or leaders. Of course the Sunnites, Shi'ites and other Muslim variants may disagree on the value of the hadiths.

Of course the Sunnites, Shi'ites and other Muslim variants may disagree on the value of the hadiths. You have the right of it Anna, except for this. The Haditha is a book which contains recordings of the acts of Muhammad. As he was the final Prophet, meant to right all preceding errors from Abraham to the present, his personal daily acts were viewed as the model of being a perfect Muslim. As Muhammad was the ‘last’ Prophet, there were no other prophets so no prophet wrote anything in the Hadith. Of course among the 20 odd various Islamic sects and schools there are differences. Primarily Islam is divided between Sunnites (est. less than 85%) and Shi’ites (est. less than 15%)and the rest divided among about 1%. Yes, they have differences. Between these two larges sects it is primarily a matter of selecting leadership. Sunnites believe that Islamic leadership is defined by a form of election while Shi’ites see the leader as a descendant of Muhammad. While both accept the literal interpretation of the Qur’an, neither views the other as true Muslims. As others have stated, there are conflicting passages within the Qur’an, however, it is not a matter pick or choose. In the Islamic philosophy both of these conflicting verses (surah) are considered true at the same time. This is not a logic understood in the West. However, a methodology used by Islam makes it logical in their eyes. In short, early surah in time, were often considered incomplete due to fact the people were not ready to understand and so a subsequent surah would expand on the words of the earlier one. This can be applied to the confusion as to whether Islam is peaceful or war like. In the early years of Muhammad’s attempts to convert were spent in Mecca. During this period the ‘soft-hand’ of verbal persuasion and this was reflected in the early surah. Later, Muhammad was called to Medina and their tactics changed and when he returned to Mecca it was at the head of an Army without number and conversion had changed to becoming a Muslim through the use of the sword. Here the surah of this period overrules the peaceful years of Islam and replaces them with the sword, and so it is today.
