Malaysian police have arrested a woman who angered Muslims by posting a video greeting for the Eid al-Fitr holiday that featured her dogs, her lawyer said.
Dog trainer Maznah Yusof is being investigated for "causing disharmony on grounds of religion", lawyer Latheefa Koya said, an offence punishable by up to five years in jail in the Muslim-majority country.
The video shot to mark the Islamic holiday shows Maznah bathing and feeding three dogs as the Muslim call to prayer sounds in the background.
Dogs are viewed as unclean in Islam and contact with them is frowned upon.
Eid al-Fitr, which will be celebrated next week, is a festival marking the end of the annual fasting month of Ramadan and is the most important Muslim holiday.
Maznah, 38, was quoted by online media as saying she never meant to insult Islam with the video, which was first posted in 2010. Full story...
