Punishment meted out after girl mishandles Quran, according to rumor circulating at Arab-Israeli town
TAIBEH – Harsh punishment? A Muslim girl from Taibeh was punished by Allah and turned into a dog, according to rumors that have been circulating in the Arab-Israeli town this week, Arab-language newspaper Panorama reported.
According to the rumors, the harsh punishment was meted out after the girl, upset by her mother’s request to bring her the Quran as she was watching television, threw the holy Muslim book at the mother with disdain.
The newspaper decided to look into the rumors and sent a reporter to check where they originated. As it turned out, the source was a photocopy of a news story posted in Taibeh’s largest mosque. According to that report, taken from the Internet, the unusual story happened in a Muslim country in Asia.
Local women say they saw story on TV
However, the newspaper reported, the rumor changed several versions as it was passed on. At one point, the dog apparently “moved” from to one of the Persian Gulf countries, and from there to Gaza, before ending up in Taibeh itself
Later on, women in Taibeh even claimed they saw the story featured on Palestinian television and on Israel’s channel 33.
The newspaper reporter also turned to the Muslim leaders to ask their opinion on the matter. One religious cleric responded that the story was obviously baseless, “since Allah doesn’t need to turn a girl into a dog in order to prove his strength. If Allah wants to prove his power he can make the entire universe shake.”
I'm sorry.
Really.
Thank You :o)
"Arab women are not ugly...
And Jews are cousins to Arabs, so when a Jew is calling an Arab ugly, they are calling themselves ugly."
I agree. Why is that guy calling some girl ugly when he's never seen her? Is it because she's Arab? That's blatant racism and inexcusable. Or is it because she threw a Koran at her mother?
Some people on this forum are such brutes.
These people desperately need to get out of the 12th century.
HEY , I met her at a club and yer photo of her is how she looked at the diner,hence,that old expression, "will she pass the diner test?" She looked OK at the club!!
Peoples actions are what make them truly ugly not their physical attributes.
Followers of islam and allah are indeed quite ugly.
I would like to show up prior to one of these stonings with a MaDuece and throw a few small lead rocks at the animals taking part.
To defend this religion is criminal.
Brute is as brute does.
The world cannot afford the Muslim religion. It's dangerous. I say we fence them in and let them all kill each other off.
End of discussion. Irrefutable proof.
"Life's a bitch... and now: so is she." :)
Hey can't you put your dog picture in here?
What dog picture?
LOL, me too.
no-No -No I was there and the story got it only part right.
Allah turned a girl into a dog -and the beech off and turned Allah into dog doodoo.Read about it on Al Jar Zeer agh.
Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!
LOL Now why didn't I think of that?! Rats.
I didn't defend the religion; I defended Arabs as a race.
What did this girl do that made her ugly? Being Muslim doesn't make someone ugly or cruel by default. She's not a fundamentalist. She threw a Koran, for heaven's sake. Looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of bed this morning.
