Dog walking banned by Hamas 'to protect women and children'

Is the new ban another step in Islamic extremism or is it a public safety issue?

Hamas has banned walking dogs in public in the Gaza Strip in order "to protect women and children," Hamas spokesman and leading religious figure Ayman al-Batniji told the Telegraph Thursday.

“In recent weeks, the phenomenon of young men walking with their dogs in the streets has widely spread. It is neither of our culture nor of our traditions. Children and women feel scared when they see dogs,” al-Batniji stated, adding that it is Hamas' "duty to maintain the safety of citizens."

No specific penalty for breaking the ban has been officially stated, however Hamas is known for their harsh punishments.

The ban reportedly only applies to populated areas such as cities, markets and beaches, while allowing residents to walk dogs in the countryside.

Mad Mo hated dogs because they warned the caravans he liked to raid.

Dogs are unIslamic because they are man’s best friend.........

You don’t have to protect people from dogs. You have to protect them from reptile-brain subhumans who belong to that middle eastern death cult.

(Do I make myself clear?)

It’s a good idea. Saves the dogs from being eaten.

I think they hate dogs because the dogs are smarter than they are.

Memri.org has some great stuff on the idea of al-warra wal-barra, which means to turn towards everything muslim and away from everything non muslim. This means EVERYTHING. The kind of clothes you wear, the food you eat. Instead of pointing with your index finger make sort of a fist and point with your thumb. Do every single thing different from non muslims. I figure hating dogs is just part of this. Good luck on assimilating these people.

I would like to ban the walking of Muzzies anywhere within sight of me as their reputation for killing non-Muzzies frightens men, women and children
