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.”
Allah says Jews really are the chosen people and you must be extra nice to them! :^)

This Iranian woman, Hajiyeh, was stoned to death by the Islamic Republic of Iran. She was executed for fornication. It took her 2 1/2 hours to die.
“I take refuge in Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful, who has changed this woman into a serpent.”
I know it is. Not trying to bring a screaching halt to the thread.
"Now she'll really have to watch out for the local molesters!"
That's reserved for sheep.
On the Beverly Hillbillies Granny thought she turned a human into a chimp and since chimps is higher up the evolutionary ladder then Granny is more powerful than Allah.
LOL!
bump
Looks like that one got interrupted midway in the transformation.
Bout as likely as a see through burkha in Mecca on a Sat night.
"A Muslim girl from Taibeh was punished by Allah and turned into a dog"
The dog p...d on Allah's foot.
"Allah turned me into a dog!"
I got better...
:-)
(Burn the witch!)
Hear hear!
The girl probably has less body hair now.
"Now it's illegal to beat her, lucky gal".
Excellent.
;-)
LOL!
BE NICE!
Jews and Arabs United by Genes
taken from The Times 9 May 2000
Jews and Arabs are extremely closely related, a new genetic survey has shown.
Wherever in the world they now live, Jewish men carry the same Y chromosome as Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese.
"Jews and Arabs are all really children of Abraham and all have preserved their Middle Eastern genetic roots over 4,000 years," said one of the scientists involved. Harry Ostrer, director of the Human Genetics Programme at New York University School of Medicine. The team analysed regions of the Y chromosome in 1,371 men from 29 populations worldwide. The Y chromosome passes largely unchanged down the male line.
The results, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, show that the difference between Jewish and Arab populations is extremely small, considerably smaller than that between North and South African populations, for example. The study confirms that both Arabs and Jews owe their genes to a common ancestor population that predated the Jewish religion.
A second conclusion is that the Jews have maintained their genetic heritage to a remarkable degree, given the Jewish diaspora and the long isolation of small Jewish populations in many places.
"Because Jewish religious affiliation is assigned maternally, our study afforded the opportunity to assess the contribution of non-Jewish men to present-day Jewish genetic diversity," said Michael Hammer, the study leader. "It was surprising to see how significant the Middle Eastern genetic signal was in Jewish men from different communities in the diaspora," he said.
The latest human chromosome to be deciphered in full suggests that human beings may have many fewer genes than previously supposed. Chromosome 21 contains only 225 active genes. The finding suggests that the entire complement of human genes may total nearer 40,000 rather than the previous estimates of between 70,000 and 140,000.
Huge areas consist of apparently worthless DNA. In one stretch of seven million base pairs (the letters of the genetic alphabet), a stretch longer than the entire genome of E.coli, there is only a single gene. The full sequence of Chromosome 21 is published online today by Nature.
