Saudi Religious Police Ban Pet Cats And Dogs
AFP ^ | July 30, 2008

Posted on 07/30/2008 12:49:36 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

Saudi Arabia's religious police have announced a ban on selling cats and dogs as pets, or walking them in public in the Saudi capital, because of men using them as a means of making passes at women, an official said on Wednesday.

Othman al-Othman, head of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice in Riyadh, known as the Muttawa, told the Saudi edition of al-Hayat daily that the commission has started enforcing an old religious edict.

He said the commission was implementing a decision taken a month ago by the acting governor of the capital, Prince Sattam bin Abdul Aziz, adding that it follows an old edict issued by the supreme council of Saudi scholars.

The reason behind reinforcing the edict now was a rising fashion among some men using pets in public "to make passes on women and disturb families," he said, without giving more details.

This is an opportunity for those speed seduction web sites. They need to open a special section for Saudi guys that is Koranically compliant but still gets the chicks.

And Saudi chicks must have given the doggie gambit some success, or Saudi guys would not have kept at it, leading to its banishment by the virtue police.

It’s a dog’s life.

The koran calls dogs evil and that they should be killed and never be held as pets.

These Saudis are just now figuring this out?

The only problem is that most girls go ga-ga over the little frou-frou lap dogs, so that a guy can't get a manly kind of dog like a Chessie.

Of course, I go ga-ga over Chessies, and Labs, and Boykins, but I work retrievers and I've been married for 31 years . . . .

Are working dogs like collies and Australian sheep dogs still allowed to pick up dates for Saudis?

That just goes to show you how warped they are.

They got it half right, though... cats are the evil ones.

hehe

I do not know about produce sections, but alcohol is not allowed.

This means NO BEER GOGGLES.

What does a Saudi guy do without beer if it turns out there is a good reason for her keeping the burkha on?

All of us should be thankful we do not live there.

Cheers.

I was eating lunch in a restaurant when an elderly man carrying a tiny Yorkshire Terrier strolled by the window. He was constantly being stopped by beautiful young women who cooed over the little dog.

My sister and I went outside to talk to him. He was 83 years old and told me he’d met more women in the six months since he bought the dog than he had in the previous 60 years!

I own an English Pointer and an English Springer Spaniel. I’d love to get a Boykin and adore Chessies! But then I subscribe to Gun Dog magazine, Astronomy magazine, and Traditional Home magazine. Not exactly a normal thing for women to do. LOL!

“The koran calls dogs evil and that they should be killed and never be held as pets.”

I say koranimals are evil and should never be held as pets.

My Siberian Husky would have fought to his death to protect me or one of my family members and a day hasn’t passed since we had to put him to sleep that I haven’t thought of him and missed him. The muslims hatred for dogs is offensive to me. It’s almost as bad as those that hate kids. I can understand people not wanting to have pets because of how much work they are. Hating them though, what the hell for?

Reminds me of our late, great Golden Retriever, Prior Lake Jake. Jake liked nothing better than to go out on the winter ice to visit the ice fishermen on Prior Lake and beg a beer and a brat, if they had any.
He didn't care much for Schnapps but, if the beer can were carefully tipped in his direction, he would consume a full can of whatever was available, without spilling more than a few drips. Half way through a second 12 oz can would usually bring a series of burps, nose bubbles and sneezes. Afternoons were scheduled inside, with a big nap...

My younger dog apparently started out as a Great Dane/Black Lab cross, but grew up to be an 85 lb. Black Lab/Pit cross. Sweetest dog in the world.

If you ask me, Islam's hate of dogs is proof that the religion is evil.
Personally, I think Mohamed and Allah hated them because they're good judges of character...

Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life.

Islam has religious, legal, political, economic and military components. The religious component is a beard for all the other components.

Islamization occurs when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their so-called "religious rights."

When politically correct and culturally diverse societies agree to "the reasonable" Muslim demands for their "religious rights," they also get the other components under the table.Here's how it works (percentages source CIA: The World Fact Book (2007)).

As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:

United States -- Muslim 1.0%
Australia -- Muslim 1.5%
Canada -- Muslim 1.9%
China -- Muslim 1%-2%
Italy -- Muslim 1.5%
Norway -- Muslim 1.8%

At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs:

Denmark -- Muslim 2%
Germany -- Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom -- Muslim 2. 7%
Spain -- Muslim 4%
Thailand -- Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.

They will push for the introduction of halaal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply. (United States).

France -- Muslim 8%
Philippines -- Muslim 5%
Sweden -- Muslim 5%
Switzerland -- Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands -- Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad & Tobago -- Muslim 5.8%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions (Paris -- car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats (Amsterdam -- Mohammed cartoons).

Guyana -- Muslim 10%
India -- Muslim 13.4%
Israel -- Muslim 16%
Kenya -- Muslim 10%
Russia -- Muslim 10-15%

After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning:

Ethiopia -- Muslim 32.8%

At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:

Bosnia -- Muslim 40%
Chad -- Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon -- Muslim 59.7%

From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:

Albania -- Muslim 70%
Malaysia -- Muslim 60.4%
Qatar -- Muslim 77.5%
Sudan -- Muslim 70%

After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:

Bangladesh -- Muslim 83%
Egypt -- Muslim 90%
Gaza -- Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia -- Muslim 86.1%
Iran -- Muslim 98%
Iraq -- Muslim 97%
Jordan -- Muslim 92%
Morocco -- Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan -- Muslim 97%
Palestine -- Muslim 99%
Syria -- Muslim 90%
Tajikistan -- Muslim 90%
Turkey -- Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates -- Muslim 96%

100% will usher in the peace of "Dar-es-Salaam" -- the Isla mic House of Peace -- there's supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim:

Afghanistan -- Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia -- Muslim 100%
Somalia -- Muslim 100%
Yemen -- Muslim 99.9%

Of course, that's not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons.

"Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world. And all of us against the infidel. -- Leon Uris, "The Haj"

It is good to remember that in many, many countries, such as France, the Muslim populations are centered around ghettos based on their ethnicity. Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. Therefore, they exercise more power than their national average would indicate.

Jake was also a large animal. He got up to 120 lbs at 18 months when the vet suggested backing off his chow some. He lived his brief life at 90-95 lbs and didn’t look heavy at all.

They do seem to have a sense about people. My husky was so smart that he knew the difference between someone who was a threat and someone who wasn’t. To those who were no threat, he was a big, playful teddy bear towards. Anybody ever just walk into our house that he didn’t know, they had better run fast out the door.
