Iran: Search for lost dog leads to arrest
AdnKronOs ^ | 08/03/07 | None listed

Posted on 08/04/2007 6:49:51 AM PDT by JCG

Tehran, 3 August (AKI) - A young Iranian who was searching for his lost puppy in a Tehran neighborhood has been arrested and ordered to stand trial for 'moral corruption'.

According to the Tehran daily, Etemad Melli, the young man was caught while putting up a notice in which he was promising a reward to anyone who found his dog.

"Looking for a lost dog indicates the spread of a corrupt culture, which indirectly popularises keeping a dog at home, something that is completely foreign to the culture and Isamic tradition," said Tehran police spokesman, Mehdi Ahmadi.

"In arresting this young man, we wanted to send a very clear message to our young people, you need to steer away from the corrupt culture imported from the west."

That says more than enough about their "culture and tradition".

There’s something fundamentally wrong with people who don’t like dogs.

On a side note, does anyone want to take bets on how long it will be before the Islamists in the UK start griping about being “offended” by dogs there?

This isn’t satire?

Could he get away with it if it was a Saluki/Afghan/Rampur/Persian greyhound? Or would he have to be a member of the nobility with his own hunting preserve?

IIRC, Salukis have a special status in Islam, but even they aren't to be kept as pets.

“I hear that pigs make good pets.”

I’d love to be a passenger on a plane when there would be a group of muslims forced to sit near a passenger travelling with their seeing-eye dog or stress-reducing pig.

Problem - Iranian islamofascists
Solution - round up all the vicious Pit Bulls in USA shelters awaiting euthanasia - load into cargo planes - parachute drop into Iran.

Projected outcome: Pro-Western Pro-shah dissidents will know what to do.
Pit bulls will know what to do.

I wonder what the punishment will be. Death by hanging, kneeling for a bullet to the head, being put in a bag and tossed off a cliff, beheading or stoning?

The Roman Empire fell due its decadence, it’s welfare state and the inability to defend its territory. Iran’s current state has been in effect for less than 30 years and is already experiencing economic malaise and civil unrest brought about by a restrictive government and the taste of the West that its people want more of.

Interesting take on dogs in the quran. The writer claims the bad rap came from Abu Hurayra.

Abu Hurayra, whose name is translated as “father of the little cat,” apparently hated dogs and women. He narrated many hadiths that insulted women and cursed the dogs. He made them undesirable animals that need to be avoided and even killed.

Actually it says mnore about the executions of about 20 youths in the past couple of weeks for thuggery and moral turpitude. Now you know what they mean by this. Searching for a lost dog is a crime against morality.

Nobody knows what the actual charges were against the executed men, nor if there were ever even a trial prior to hanging.

Take a look at what these same people are doing to us in the west - and WORRY!

It was a puppy he sought. It’s ironic that most dogs have far better bloodlines than the majority of Muslims. 1300 years of polygamy and marrying close cousins has to be part of their problem.

Thanks FARS.
Looking for a lost dog indicates the spread of a corrupt culture
The puppy would come home on its own if enticed with some fresh-killed mullah meat. But I'd never advocate somethin' like that, no sirree. Okay, yeah I would...

Having grown up around many breeds and owned many different, I can say for sure, most dogs can detect people with evil intent. Crazed Junk yard dogs aside, any dog from a loving family will go ape crazy if they detect a bad person approaching. I’ve seen this over and over. Humans give off involuntary “tells” that the dogs can pick up on.

Is it any surprise that Moos don’t want them around?

There will be no sentimentality, no compassion, no semblance of tenderness for one of God's creatures in an Islamic regime. Women and dogs are chunks of flesh to be done with as a Muslim man chooses. Beat them, torture them, use them, kill them.

That is the way of the Muslim.

That no "progressives" in the United States condemns, let alone comments on such depravity, shows the American liberal is an alien being to the American experience.

Damn the Muslims and damn the liberals.

Keep in mind that the Iranian mullahs are rather mild compared to the Nazis, and that no matter how bad the Nazi regime was, the people did not rise up to eliminate it. It took a US invasion and the loss of huge numbers of Allied lives. We do not have the stomach to do that again today. If the Iranians give us a good enough reason, we can exterminate them in an hour, but the US will not fight WW2 again to liberate the Iranian people from their own rulers

Remember the Twilight Zone episode where the old hilbilly and his dog died? The devil, posing as a angel, tried to convince him that he would let him into heaven (actually hell). When the hillbilly asked if his dog could come with him, the devil said no.
The old hillbilly said no thanks. Turns out the real St. Peter met up with the old man and his dog and let them into heaven. Told him how the devil tried to fool him. One of my favorites.
Dogs are cool. Cats are OK. hahaha (No flaming please)

A lot of them look like they smell worse than hogs,use their left hand with no toilet paper,does god knows what with goats,and probably have more fleas than most dogs,yet they consider them filthy.
