Of course. Any harsher sentence would have been “Islamophobic.”
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
“Dog brutally beaten by Ingham County man gets a second chance,” by Alexis Ware, WLIX, February 7, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
INGHAM COUNTY, MI A man who admitted to beating a dog so badly that it required hours of surgery probably won’t do a day in prison for it.
That’s despite the fact Michigan increased the penalties for killing or torturing animals last year.
Animal control officers tell News 10 Abdulrazzaq Salah Mustafa is only going to get probation for nearly beating a dog named Champ to death.
Mustafa is scheduled to be sentenced next week. He plead guilty on January 9, 2020 in Ingham County Circuit Court before Judge James Jamo.
“He had confessed that he had picked the dog up and then slammed it on the ground multiple times which then caused several compound fractures to the right-rear femur of the dog,” Kyle Hanney, Lead Animal Control Officer said….
That beating, which took place on October 1, 2019, left Champ with life-long injuries.
“We knew as soon as he got to our organization he was in really bad shape and he was transferred almost immediately to a surgeon to perform about a four-hour orthopedic surgery to put him back together,” Julia Willson, president and CEO of capitol area humane society.
The Capital Area Humane Society says Champ’s bone was so badly broken it needed steel rods screwed into it from the outside, as well as a permanent rod inside his leg.
Animal control investigators got involved when Mustafa’s girlfriend brought the dog to the humane society in October.
“He was actually brought in by a family member at the time and additionally we were told that a few weeks prior he had also been beaten unconscious,” Willson said.
His girlfriend told investigators Mustafa routinely beat Champ….
He was charged with domestic violence shortly after the dog was taken to the humane society, but the Ingham County prosecutor’s office dropped those charges. We’re working to find out why.
Officers say the deal he cut with prosecutors calls for no jail time if he stays out of trouble….
