Maybe someone ought to convince all the kaffir assistance workers who will go to Iran, after the next earthquake that "Searching for a lost Muslim is "moral corruption".

Posted by: Provoslavni at August 4, 2007 11:33 AM

Provoslavni--well said. I would add that any UN inspection of Iran's nuclear reactors is unIslamic... After all why are nonbelievers' allowed in? Do we really expect to get the truth from apeople who believe in deceit and lies as a means to an end? especially after that Swiss catch of contraband (see drudge) going to Iran.. (I would like to know the content, the sender and the receiver)

Quote:"Angels (of Mercy) do not enter a house wherein there is a dog or a picture of a living creature (a human being or an animal"

Sounds like a very good reason to have a dog, as if having one keeps away the malignant daemons that call themselves Islamic angels, then we are spared the punishment of a heaven seething with Muslims.

Aren't dogs considered really reviled and useless in hardline Islamic culture? And isn't that basically why when the arab invaders overran Iran, they got into conflict with the zoroastrians who revere dogs, hence in the culture clash the arab jihaidsts respond the way they always do, never mind their continual requests to the West to *respect different cultures*?

I also wonder how many of the Iranians these days are even *muslim* at all? The amount of secret converts to Christianity or out and out athiests and mayb e even Zoroastrians must be huge, but how many of those identified as muslims actually have a personal interpretation of the faith that would render them enemies of the West. There are probably some muslim by name only, members of the bahai faith, (an offshoot of islam) and others who are extremely liberal. Of course, the scary thing is we won't know how serious the Iranians are about ending their islamic dictatorship if/when we covertly aid the reformists and the secualrists and try to enlist their help in taking in Iran's islamic dictatorship.

As said before of course, the strength of the reofrm movement should not influence or decisions in pressuring Iran over its nukes, but it should influence whether or nor Iranians as people are inherently our enemies.

I have no idea as to how many Germans were truly Nazis but patriotism as much as force made them fight equally as hard as Nazis. In a closed, paranoid, totalitarian state, such as Iran is now, I wouldn't like their chances of winning unless they were >90% of the population and I am sure that they are not.

Posted by: MisIslamist at August 4, 2007 1:21 PM

This is truly wonderful to hear. Iranians deserve everything they get. Don't start complaining to Pelayo about the poor Iranian Muslims who did not want this. They have Islam exactly the way Mo said it should be. If they want a change, they should follow Thomas Jefferson.

Islam against "man's best friend." Just another confirmation among numerous confirmations that Islam is humanity's enemy.

Hadith 1:174
Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "A man saw a dog eating mud from (the severity of) thirst. So, that man took a shoe (and filled it) with water and kept on pouring the water for the dog till it quenched its thirst. So Allah approved of his deed and made him to enter Paradise." And narrated Hamza bin 'Abdullah: My father said. "During the lifetime of Allah's Apostle, the dogs used to urinate, and pass through the mosques (come and go), nevertheless they never used to sprinkle water on it (urine of the dog.)"

Said Muhammad: "Angels (of Mercy) do not enter a house wherein there is a dog ,or a picture of a living creature (a human being or an animal)."

Funny that, to my recollection, Iraq was loaded with images of Saddam in frames on walls of homes or buildings or on posters in rallies. In Iran there were images of the Ayatollahs and then there are the images of Nasrallah in Lebanon etc.

Any one of these images can be found online in a variety of places . . .

preaching here

doing govt. business here

or going to market here

or here

Or perhaps they aren't considered human beings or even animals. . .in which case I agree.

Never trust a person who doesn't like dogs.
Dogs are better than people. Especially muslims.

Maxwell:

I read somewhere a few years ago (no idea where , and therefore no way to verify) that the % of atheists in Iran approaches western European levels.

I do hope the poor man finds his puppy. :-( This reminds me of the moslem who wrote to Ask the Imam practically pleading with him to say yes, your dog may rejoin you in heaven.

For those who missed this

And God Created Dog and Cat
A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis has provided the
answer to "Where do pets come from?"

Adam said, "Lord, when I was in the garden, you walked with me every day. Now I do not see you any more. I am lonesome here and it is difficult for me to remember how much you love me."

And God said, "No problem. I will create a companion for you that will be with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for you so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourself."

And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam. And it was a good animal. And God was pleased. And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and it wagged its tail.

And Adam said, "Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new animal."

And God said, "No problem. Because I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him Dog."

And Dog lived with Adam and was a companion to him and loved him. And Adam was comforted. And God was pleased. And Dog was content and wagged his tail.

After a while, it came to pass that Adam's guardian angel came to the Lord and said, "Lord, Adam has become filled with pride. He struts and preens like a peacock and he believes he is worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught him that he is loved, but perhaps too well."

And the Lord said, "No problem. I will create for him a companion who will be with him forever and who will see him as he is. The companion will remind him of his limitations, so he will know that he is not always worthy of adoration."

And God created Cat to be a companion to Adam. And Cat would not obey Adam. And when Adam gazed into Cat's eyes, he was reminded that he was not the Supreme Being. And Adam learned humility.

And God was pleased.
And Adam was greatly improved.
And Dog was happy.
And Cat didn't care one way or the other.

It's good to know that there are animal lovers in Muslim countries, and, hopefully, another percentage of the Muslim population who feels respectful of animals, and not targets to be maimed, starved, tortured or killed cruelly. I, too, hope that man finds his dog. The dog can be his friend, something that the dangerous Iranian President and the mad mullahs can never be to him.

Posted by: maryrose at August 5, 2007 11:50 AM

This was the main reason I started to investigate the atmospherics of islam.
I live in a muslim dominated area and have a jet black dog.
The amount of times the RoPer's would freak out at the sight of my dog astounded me.
They will literally walk into oncoming traffic to avoid her.
I used to be confused but now I relish it and let her off the lead to wonder in and out of their paths and generally upset them...

intimidation?....perhaps..but they started it.

Islam inculcates obsessive compulsive disorder..mix in a heavy dose of narcissistic personality disorder and you have the perfect example of the muslim mindset.

I'm in the process of getting another dog..an enormous rescued rottweiler with a nasty temper.He's been badly treated so will need lots of training which I love doing anyway.
I shall be proudly walking him through the saracen ghetto...it's amazing to watch them scatter,a sight to behold.

What a delightful story.

Posted by: Provoslavni at August 5, 2007 10:34 PM

Here in the West, the image of a young person searching for a lost puppy illicits almost automatic sympathy. In Iran it is indicative of "moral corruption".

Of course, they have no problem with murdering apostates, stoning rape victims, and "marrying" nine-year-old girls. Think about this next ime someone prates about "traditional Islamic values".

Posted by: gravenimage at August 5, 2007 10:39 PM

It is incidents that should make the Islamic world realize why it is hated so much b others.

Also, it is cases like this that should anger all animal lovers around the world. I am not an animal lover myself, but even people who are not all animal lovers should realize that the only morally corrupt people in this case are the religious leaders who make such outrageous edicts.

Islam is full of stuff that infidels can use to turn other infidels' heads in the right direction.

I like to use the hadith about dogs & pictures repelling Islamic angels to make my point to people who might otherwise dismiss what I have to say.

Angels repelled by dogs? or pictures in a house?

It works - just tell people what Islam says and give them the links to find it if they must. Enough shit is in this system to offend and repel just about everyone in the west - women and animal lovers especially.

Just some Pre-Islamic Persian attitudes towards dogs.

Well, luckily I'm both an artist *and* an animal lover. Lots at my house to keep those nasty "Islamic Angels" away! (of course, this is not exactly the reaction the hadith's writers expected...)

My current dog is a collie/lab/staffy cross...fast and chunky but good at swimming.I have to see if she takes to the Rottie first.She's very dominant and took several years to control,so if they dont get on it will be a no go.
I often take her up to Dovedale in Derbyshire near where I live.Your welcome to join me..:-)
There is no better way to spend a day in my view.

I feel sorry for people clinging to a belief system which denies them so many pleasures.

Didn't the Khemer Rouge in Cambodia ban the keeping of dogs because they thought the animals would warn people when they were being spied on ?

Islam is the most daft paranoid religion.
