[quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous][b]So much I don't understand I guess (and I'm not anti-Islam). I normally meet my neighbors when walking my dog (exercise and a reason to be outside). It's a super friendly neighborhood and we'll talk for hours. My Muslim neighbors (there are 3 houses, so not just one family) used to literally run from me, cross the sidewalk to not be on the same side as me. I did know that their kids were extremely afraid of my small dog, but I didn't realize it was the issue with the adults. Turns out I was told that Muslims view dogs as unclean. My dog is pretty laid back and doesn't jump on people or even act interested. [/b]

Anyways, just thought that I had crazy rude neighbors for years.

I was involved in my HOA's social committee for years as well. We had trouble getting the Muslims to come to our socials because we served wine and beer (and they said they wouldn't attend because of that). So we had a few dry socials and low and behold, no one else would show up for those either. [/quote]

I had to laugh at the bold part because I do the same thing loool. Please don't take offense to it. Muslims have to do what is called Wudu before they pray (ablutions). One of the things that invalidates your wudu is if a dog's saliva  touches you have to do it again. It is not the dog that's impure, but its saliva. So,  sometimes, I'm in a state of ablution and a dog comes towards me,  I'm afraid it will start licking me, so you better believe, I will run just because I don't want to go back and do my ablutions again.

As for the Muslims in your HOA, no idea why they didn't attend the dry socials. Not every human being is social, and that has nothing to do with religion...
