@ShannyBoy I know you are joking but I want you to watch this video, please. Don't worry about them being muslims. Just watch this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4tW_hFvb2Q

I don't think you understand the differences between hadiths and Koran. Every Muslim believes in the Koran, not all Muslims believe in all the hadith because some are considered inaccurate.

I've been to 3 different schools in the middle east and I have spoken to many Imams, and they have all said the same thing. They all said that it is cruel and sinful to harm any animal even dogs. You're suppose to help and feed any animal in need.

Also, the reason some Muslims treat dogs savagely is more of a cultural thing. I lived in Yemen for 3 years and most families don't have enough food for themselves so they don't see the purpose of helping out animals; however, muslims living in the states, at least where I live, tend to feed stray dogs if they have any. The muslims in the taxi have not adjusted to living in the states so they don't really care for dogs.(Just my opinion.)

If you want to understand Islam position on dogs, read this: http://www.islamicconcern.com/dogs.asp

Just because he's a muslim doesn't mean he understands islam.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_and_animals

It is forbidden to beat animals unnecessarily, to brand them on the face, or to allow them to fight each other for human entertainment. "They must not be mutilated while they are alive."[13]

Muhammad is also reported (Narrated by Ibn Omar and Abdallah bin Al-As) to have said: "There is no man who kills [even] a sparrow or anything smaller, without its deserving it, but Allah will question him about it [on the judgment day]," and "Whoever is kind to the creatures of God is kind to himself."

I lived in the middle east for awhile and they turn off the electricity frequently. Throughout the whole day, they would probably turn on the electricity for about 45 minutes. So, I think he means that in the 45 minutes they turn on the electricity he sees war and tanks.

I speak Arabic, and the translation is perfect.

Since you have the correct answers, I would like to ask you a question.

Do you know what happens after death? If yes, are you 100% sure? I find a little funny when you ask some scientist get asked this question, they give you a simple answer like "they just die." How can anyone be so certain. Its not like they have any evidence that supports your claim.

When people say they became atheists because of reddit, I feel like turning off computer. This subreddit mostly contains pictures of famous people with quotes next to them and childish jokes about religion. There really isn't any religious analysis going on.

Opposing religion got trendy with the youtube/facebook generation. It doesn't actually have anything to do with real religious analysis. I wouldn't call this actual "atheism".
