Iran authorities confiscate dogs in crackdown on ‘vulgar Western culture’

Jun 26, 2016 11:54 am By Robert Spencer

Javid Al-e Davood, the head of Iran’s Society For Protection of Animals, said: “Keeping dogs has not been regarded as haram in any religious book. Associating keeping dogs with Western culture is distorting the history of Islamic and Iranian civilisation.” Oh, come now, Javid. Islam hates dogs: “Once Gabriel promised the Prophet (that he would visit him, but Gabriel did not come) and later on he said, ‘We, angels, do not enter a house which contains a picture or a dog.’” — Sahih Bukhari 4.54.50

“Abdullah (b. Umar) (Allah be pleased with them) reported: Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) ordered the killing of dogs and we would send (men) in Medina and its corners and we did not spare any dog that we did not kill, so much so that we killed the dog that accompanied the wet she-camel belonging to the people of the desert.” — Sahih Muslim 3811

“Ibn Mughaffal reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) ordered killing of the dogs, and then said: What about them, i. e. about other dogs? and then granted concession (to keep) the dog for hunting and the dog for (the security) of the herd, and said: When the dog licks the utensil, wash it seven times, and rub it with earth the eighth time.” — Sahih Muslim 551

“Iran authorities confiscate dogs in crackdown on ‘vulgar Western culture,'” thejournal.ie, June 25, 2016 (thanks to Lookmann):

DOG LOVERS IN central Iran are in uproar after authorities began confiscating their pets in an apparent crackdown on the “vulgar Western culture” of canine ownership, Iranian media reported today.

One unnamed dog owner in Shahin Shahr in Isfahan province told Iran’s Shahrvand newspaper that officials had shown up suddenly at his house last week.

“We were shown a piece of paper indicating they were from the municipal veterinary office. They came in and took away our dogs under the pretext of vaccination,” he said.

The owner was told he could recover the dog after its vaccination, but when he went to the vet’s office they had no record of his case.

Instead, the newspaper said the confiscations were the result of a crackdown launched by local prosecutor Mohsen Boosaidi.

“Keeping and caring for dogs is haram (forbidden) according to religious leaders,” Boosaidi told the Fars news agency on 19 June.

“If we find out that anyone is keeping and caring for dogs and so is promoting vulgar Western culture, we will deal with them firmly.”

Dog confiscations in the town began three days later, Shahrvand reported. It did not give precise numbers, but said a number of families had lost their pets.

“Ever since our dog was taken away, you only hear the sound of crying and sobbing in our house,” the Shahin Shahr owner said.

Javid Al-e Davood, the head of Iran’s Society For Protection of Animals, said such confiscations were illegal and that the prosecutor was “absolutely wrong” about the Islamic attitude to dogs.

“Keeping dogs has not been regarded as haram in any religious book. Associating keeping dogs with Western culture is distorting the history of Islamic and Iranian civilisation,” he said.

Dogs are considered najes (unclean) in Islam and police often stop and fine dog walkers. However, Iran’s authorities have stated that dogs with a clear role – such as guarding property or guiding the blind – are permitted….

    If there is any genuine goodness and unconditional love in this world, it exists primarily in canine form.

    No surprise Islam can’t abide dogs.

      Career criminal Muhammad, who was constantly on the run from the police of Mecca early in his rise to infamy, detested tracking dogs and wanted posters with a drawing of his image.

      If these morons are so convinced dogs represent western culture, what are they doing driving cars and using cell phones ….

      It’s very haram of them, to use the internet, I don’t think Alla would have approved of the internet ….

        Haram because the dogs probably see the real Devil in them through their guise(as a human)

    It is because a dog can protect its owner. I have been thinking about getting a big dog for myself– for protection.

      I replied to you but my post didn’t make it ?
      I said my own two dogs might protect me they have never needed to as of yet, I would protect them from Muslims though ! I believe animals have souls.
      As all Judeo-Christians did before the enlightenment.

      I said yes get a big black dog as they scare Muslims, all medium to large dogs do. Best defence ,as well as a pork pie in your pocket.

    They hate dogs. They hate music. If you love them they hate you. Actually they already hate you because you are an infidel. They also hate free speech, so please shut up or we’ll kill you.

    Such a weird, perverted, inhumane culture. And they think of themselves as “the best of people” !

    • Mark Swan says

      Jun 26, 2016 at 1:50 pm

      They Hate, Period—they view love with an attitude or feeling of disapproval or lack of enjoyment—
      they hate love— which is the out-flowing concern for all others—they are taught a self importance in being a group member of Islam—which is exclusive of anyone who is not a member—the miserable want
      everyone to be miserable.

        They love power, beheading, raping, lying, cheating…they are the worst of humanity. I think I’ll fry up some more tasty bacon…and share it with my dogs.

    Well what do you expect ???

    Islam is a complete fraud, invented by a madman to legitimise his criminal activities and condone his sick twisted sexual perversions.

    Vulgar Muslims
    Islam is male dominated penis worship cult where men brutally murder their own daughters for their Satan named Allah.

    ??? Vulgar Western Culture ????
    Who are Muslims to criticize?
    Happy Father’s Day to all the (REAL) dads with daughters.

    its OK if Goof-ball Ayatollah Turban and friends think our culture and civilization are vulgar, at least we have a culture and civilization to talk about Goof-ball living 1400 years in the pas. I know you have all the toys (ordnance to make war be you’ve never fought a real war against a Western Nation). Clue after 8 years w8th Iraq you didn’t gain or lose an inch just 1mm men. If you fight the US there won’t be a day 2. If you fight Israel and use your plan to launch all your missiles and Hizbollah missiles to overwhelm, there won’t be a Day 2. It’s not to brag scare or embellish. You don’t get it but you will since there won’t be a Day 2.

    When the dog licks the utensil, wash it seven times, and rub it with earth the eighth time.” — Sahih Muslim 551

    I find this interesting to rub it with earth the eighth time. Well that’s going to sanitize the utensils.

      Islam is absurd. Same rule applies for touching women … rub self with ‘clean’ dirt. So… Islam says women are dirtier than dirt.

      Offensively STUPID.

      • Kay says

        Jun 26, 2016 at 4:23 pm

        Yes and taking the dogs is also a threat. We take your dogs, we can take your family members.
        Animal abuse is a classic sign of domestic abuse. En masse animal abuse means no one is safe.

      Especially if the same dog has just pooped there! islam is so brainless.

    Quote: “Keeping and caring for dogs is haram (forbidden) according to religious leaders,” Boosaidi told the Fars news agency on 19 June.”

    And Western media elites keep this hushed up so we won’t realize how absurd Islam is and hate it … somethings, like this dog culling, SHOULD BE HATED.

    The Iran authorities even said it is a cultural attack against the Western lifestyle.

    How much evidence do our Western elites need to drop their DELUSION that Islam is compatible?

    HA! My dog has more compassion then these self-righteous Pharisees!

    “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are so careful to clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you are filthy–full of greed and self-indulgence!” (Jesus Circa 33 A.D.)

    Dogs are unclean? How about all the filthy fucking muslims who wipe their ass with their hand. I’m so sick of these disgusting mentally deranged camel fuckers the world must be cleansed of them…

    Mohammad didn’t like dogs. When he night raided villages, the dogs would bark and alert the villagers. Makes sense to me.

  16. John Johness says

    Jun 26, 2016 at 11:27 pm

    This is why all security personnel, customs and immigration, police, army should have dogs. Many of the Jihadi attacks from Charlie Hebdo to the Pulse would have been stopped if they had attack guard dogs. The Jihaids do not know what to do when a dog attacks. Most people in the West grow up with dogs. It is a bit hard for the West to get their head around this fact. The Israelis know.

    All life is sacred. God created dogs as well as……muslims. But I for one would rather have dinner with dogs. Very loyal animals. I wonder if we could use dogs to assist in looking for these human garbage during a search and rescue during an earthquake. ……so we know not to waste time saving them.

    GOD in HIS infinite Wisdom has created all creatures. Man has created hate, and this Mohammed tells us that Heaven hates dogs. This person is an idiot . Nothing is created without a purpose. GOD is all knowing

    As a lifetime dog owner those dogs who were confiscated (kidnapped) far exceed anyone within the Revilutionary Guard or Theocratic Turban crowd in temperament, intelligence obedience and. Loyalty if I were you Generals in the RG be looking over your shoulder.

  21. Singh the Sikh says

    Jun 27, 2016 at 11:16 am

    Muhammad hated dogs. In Islam dogs are haraam or unclean. That says it all about the ‘prophet’ and the religion he cooked up. It certainly explains a lot about the hate, cruelty, unhappiness, spitefulness, ruthlessness, and ingratitude displayed by followers of the ‘faith’.

    I have two dogs and I have nothing but disdain for anyone who considers dogs “haram”. Nor do I have any regard for any religion.which is against dogs.
