In just one more example of how Islamic Shariah law is utterly and completely incompatible with western civilization and should remain confined the retrograde Middle East areas which embrace it, on Friday Iran outlawed all advertisements for pets, pet food, pet shops and all pet products.
Back in June, Reuters reported that a fatwa, or Islamic religious decree, had been issued in Iran denouncing pet dog and cat ownership. The edict was announced by Iran's Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance and is based on the fatwa by 86-year-old Grand Ayatollah Nasser Makarem Shirazi, who claims that people's love for their dogs and cats may lead to "evil outcomes." Shirazi singled out dogs in particular, declaring them to be "unclean" under Shariah law.
He denounced Iranian dog owners for "blindly imitating the West." He said, "Many people in the West love their dogs more than their wives and children." Oh, like how the Islamists love their wives and children so much that they use them as human shields and suicide bombers? Nothing says "I love you" like a brand-new suicide bomb vest on your teenager, or your husband's fist hitting your face as he heads off to spend the night with one of his other wives, or your husband stoning you to death for "dishonoring" the family.
Of the declaration that dogs are unclean, Robert Spencer reporting in Jihad Watch says,
"Of course, so did the prophet of Islam: 'Ibn Mughaffal reported: The Messenger of Allah... ordered killing of the dogs, and then said: What about them, i.e. about other dogs? And then granted concession (to keep) the dog for hunting and the dog for (the security) of the herd, and said: When the dog licks the utensil, wash it seven times, and rub it with earth the eighth time.'--Sahih Muslim 551"
Apparently dish soap is highly overrated by those of us in the West. There's nothing like good old dirt to get the "unclean" out!
This hatred for dogs is just part of Islamic Shariah law, and it will never fit in with the West. As Robert Spencer points out, this goes back to Muhammad's opinions. We have seen examples of this here in America, where Muslim cab drivers refuse to pick up people who have dogs with them, even service dogs for the disabled. That's a violation of American law. It is illegal to deny access to a disabled person with a service dog. It's not a matter of the Muslim cabbie being worried that the dog will "mess" in the cab--it's part of his twisted Shariah law, and in the case of this elderly Islamic leader, Shirazi, the root of his disdain for dogs is his hatred for the West, which is common among Islamists.
They hate the West. They hate Christianity. They hate Jews. They hate "infidels." Yet here they are spreading their tentacles throughout our country, just as they have done in Europe. The children of Ishmael are now poised to erect a monster victory mosque and "cultural" center at Ground Zero. If it were to be built, I wonder if dogs would be permitted inside--in the spirit of "interfaith dialogue," of course!
I feel sorry for the Muslim people who live under this retrograde regime in Iran, and those in other Muslim-dominated countries, and I feel bad for the dogs and cats there, as well. How can you trust someone who hates dogs or cats? I don't trust such a person or his judgment. Dogs and cats are precious creatures that bring so much joy to our lives. Yes, dogs need to be bathed, and a weekly shampoo wash and rinse does wonders for the "unclean" doggie. Cats are self-cleaning, which is quite handy. God gave us these friend animals for our happiness, and there is no earthly loyalty like what they give us. I think of all the lonely people who may count among their few friends their cat or dog.
To some, this may seem like a small issue--the banning of all things pet in Iran--but it further illustrates the diametrical difference between Shariah law and the laws and civilization of the West. They do not mix, and they cannot be made to coexist without completely undoing our Constitution and culture. We must fight against the spread of the virulent ideology of Islamic Shariah law, which is slowly creeping into our country. It's the same Shariah law, whether it's in Iran or the Ground Zero Mosque.
Where is the PETA crowd? Oh, I forgot. They don’t really care about animals - they are just a bunch of wacko leftists.
and they bring their hatred of dogs out here with them,and some fools think it is within their right to harass and try to agitate your dogs when you’re out with them.
it’s ramadam and the street’s crowded with them,can you imagine to be out as usual with the dogs trying to walk them ?
and some have kids that SHRIEK at the sight of them.
No watch dogs or tracking dogs for their military? Good.
No Muslims Do.
That and especially the corollary. I never trust a person that dogs don't like...
We need pit bull puppy mils, let them get 2 - 3 years old with very agressive people and turn them loose near every *&*^$*& mosque in this country.
Never trust a man who does not like dogs.

( But they think it is okay to have sex with Goats. Oh, now I remember, Goats aren't pets. After they have defiled the Goat, they sell it to their neighbor for food.)
LUCY!!!!
Something just dawned on me... you know we have talked for a while about how Obama didn’t get a dog because of the Muslim issue... so then he got one. So must not be a muslim, right?
Then I remembered reading about how “Michelle Antoinette” flew their dog on a separate flight to vacation... DO YOU THINK THIS IS ABOUT NOT WANTING TO DIE WITH A DOG???
I know they think dying with pigs is unclean, how about dogs?
Just a thought, what do you guys think?
I thought it was a travesty that the Obama flew their pet dog on a separate airplane.
YOU MAY BE ON TO SOMETHING HERE. MAYBE P-BO DID NOT ALLOW THE DOG TO BE ON THE SAME PLANE WITH HIM.

Methinks you speak a mouthful. Agree 100%.
By chanting the Shahada in Arabic, Obama declared to the world that he is Muslim. See this link for an explanation of the significance:
http://wtpotus.wordpress.com/2010/08/19/barack-hussein-obama-took-shahada/
If you think it’s not so, then consider: Wouldn’t it be considered sacrilege for someone who’s not Christian to say, “Jesus is Lord”, if he didn’t mean it? Wouldn’t Muslims, who are far more touchy about anything that they perceive to be sacrilege, be extremely angry IF Obama made this confession, in Arabic, when he didn’t mean it? When he’s a Christian? So where was their outrage when the Christian candidate for POTUS made this statement to a reporter? Why do Muslims throughout the world believe that Obama is Muslim? Read the polls.
They knew the meaning; they understood the message he was sending to THEM, not to us, because we didn’t and wouldn’t understand, unless we’re Muslim. Hasn’t it been reported that he allegedly assured foreign potentates that he’s still Muslim?
It’s a PETA alliance with moose limb jihad. Isn’t the banning of keeping animals of any kind for any reason one of their goals? Idjits.
P.S. How did you get a copy of that picture without all the malware that’s usually attached to it.
If you don’t answer, I guess you didn’t?
Interesting. I’d heard that Muslims tend not to like having pets, but had never realised that there may be a reason. In Cape Town, South Africa, we have a sizeable Muslim population and very few have animals.
I use FireFox with NoScript and AdBlock. No malware problems.
The cat part is so bizarre because apparently, Muhammed had a favorite cat named Muezza (no joke!). It's one of the very few redeeming qualities about the false prophet.
This just in: The Mullahs suck. Film at 11.
Maybe the muslims don’t like dogs because they come up from behind and sniff at them with their cold, wet noses during prayer time.
I'd pay good money to see that. H*ll, I'd put it on pay-per-view!
The dog had become "mans best friend" long before Mohammad came on the seen.
Between the two -- dog and Mohammad -- I'm opting for the dog!
