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.”
Here's the video (warning, disturbing video): Stoning
Yes, she was stoned to death, and it happens quite often. In Saudi Arabia, often to save time, they bury the offender, just as shown here, and just empty a dumptruck load of stones on top on them. Nice and efficient.
When I was active duty, I heard stories of GIs who visited such events in "chop chop square" in Saudia Arabia back in the early 90s. The locals were known to push the Americans to the FRONT of the line to see how Islam takes care of violators of its tenets.
Of course, the local commanders forbid soldiers to go to such events nowadays.
They've recently been getting better.
But the point that you can gain an understanding of the European Middle Ages by watching the Arabs is absolutely correct.
You can also gain an understanding of your own relatives who belong to apostolic cults.
I know a lot of girls this has happned to.
Allah also turned humans into muslims. Enough said!!!!
Islam is a cult of murders firmly ensconced it the 7th century who have done nothing of value for thousands of years. If there wasn't oil in the middle east there would be no western interest there. Personally I would rather pay three dollars a gallon for domestically produced gasoline and let the followers of mohammed further devolve back into chimps.
Any religion that calls for the stoning of a human deserves to be extinguished with extreme malice.

Oh, and "Arab women are ugly" is what exactly?
Jews and Arabs don't look very differently than each other.
Would you not agree?
Or, are you saying all Jews are ugly?
Yeah, he can send a giant tidal wave too. Or he can turn a girl into a dog, if the mama needs a reason for why her daugther disappeared.
;<)
One day the daughter took off or was kidnapped by slave-traders and a dog moved in. It could happen.
No, I would not.
Be that as it may, it doesn't make your vapid "oh yeah, well..." tripe any less insipid.
Not so sure, most muslims are not to keen on dogs either.
For some strange reason, in the quran and hadith, Mohammad had a weird hatred for dogs (and loved cats).
I don't know why, and it makes no sense, but their "prophet" really had an obsessive hatred for dogs.
Not exactly.
The variations are so wide, that, at best, it may apply to some or few or most, but not all.
Its why say a Norm Coleman or Paul Wellstone look nothing like a Mohammad Atta or the like.
Many, if not most jews, lived for generations in europe and intermarried, thats why most of them look nothing like arabs.
As opposed to the "All Arabs are ugly" intellectual argument.
Get a life, hypocrite.
You look at a lot of Israelis, and you
d be hard pressed to tell the difference between them and the Arabs.
Again, it's moronic for anyone to say "Arabs are ugly" but it's doubly moronic for a Jew to say that.
I have seen lots of ugly Israelis as well.
Do you have a friggin' plate in your head?
I'm not defending the "arabs are ugly" crack. I'm deriding your response to it.
Well, Jews and Arabs consider themselves to be cousins.
If you disgree with that, then take it up with them.
