First i laughed at this.. Looking at and knowing Christianity.
Tell us Red, can you get more oppressive then murdering your own wife if she is a none Christian?

You want to talk about oppression? Have you heard of the Spanish inquisition? How about the Salem witch trials? Would you like more examples? People were literally burned at the stake for mere assumptions and you say Islam is oppressive?
Far as your asterisk goes it is simple. Dogs are not a clean animal. If you have a dog, at least once you have seen him dragging his rear across the carpet to scratch himself. What he's actually doing is spreading feces.
Muslims pray face to ground. You know, just like Jesus did. Had you prayed like Jesus did you'd probably take up issue as well.
When i was a new Muslim over a decade ago i remember praying in my moms house. She had a dog and i didn't have much knowledge back then, but i remember when i went into prostration the carpet reaked of urine. Now the carpet looked clean but filth was embedded into the padding.
Much like yours i assume. If not you can be sure its coming, specially if your dog reaches old age.
EDIT : Btw your link is specifically talking about
black dogs. Djinn like to appear as black dogs and black snakes. So precautions should be taken if one comes across one.
All the same a dog is not allowed in the house. But a Muslim can keep a dog outside for hunting, protection and so on.
