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 mothers 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 Taibehs 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 Israels 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 doesnt 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.
Likely how they explain it when somebody is raped and murdered and the body disposed of in the muslim world. "Well officer, ya see, I was standing there watching, and she just turned into a dog...."
What did you do, to be turned into a hot dog?
;-)
just like me afraid of my wife
No more of that genetic crap, please!
All humans are related. Period.
HELL NO!
And if you're too obtuse to see my reply was not an rejoinder over genetics, but over prepubescent notions of rhetorical jousting, you belong in the same "special" class as the clown you want me to be nice to.
It's Bush's fault.
:-P
"Allah want for Christmas is my two front teeth..."
I started to say you've already got canine teeth, but
never mind.
Thank you!!
I can't believe it took that many posts to arrive, what with all the Monty Python geeks here on FR (myself included)!
That's exactly what happened.
Their God sure isn't as forgiving as ours.
It's no wonder these people have never contributed anything to society after thousands of years. We have dogs smarter than they are.
you know what, in my entire year over there, I never saw one ugly Arab child....
One down - millions more to go!
Ping (no pun intended) ;-)
[Please tell me you're only eleven years old. I couldn't stand the thought of someone with your reasoning ability actually having a right to vote.]

My apologies for being such an obtuse clown. And I bow to your superior reasoning ability.
Good day.
What kind of barbarism is that?
