Quote Iranian who killed dog gets 74 lashes 2016-04-06 17:51 Tehran - An Iranian man has been sentenced to 74 lashes for killing a dog, the judiciary-linked Mizan news agency reported on Wednesday, after an online video showed him hurling the animal repeatedly against his car. ~ News24 link ~ Quote Iranian man who killed dog sentenced to 74 lashes Online viral video shows the man hurling the dog against his car, then beating him to death with a shovel By AFP April 6, 2016, 10:40 pm Times of Israel link : http://www.timesofisrael.com/iranian-man-who-killed-dog-sentenced-to-74-lashes/ ~ Either someone messed up with a copy paste batch of text with google translate or someone is having a go with a tainted sense of humor somewhere ... ~ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly Posted December 4, 2016 #8 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I hope you're right Third_eye. It would be much better that the Iranians were punishing animal cruelty vs punishing dog owners. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/iran-dog-owners-be-lashed-74-times-new-national-ban-1473709 This one has been going around for a couple years now. Here's a bit more of a descriptive one from November 2014: http://iran-times.com/majlis-may-move-against-canines-kept-as-pets/ Most articles recirculated since 2014 are just a reprint of the same OP article, that there's plans or proposals about it.. but at least in the last couple years since the story started appearing, there aren't any articles about such measures passing or being implemented. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly Posted December 4, 2016 #12 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I do know one thing for sure, there are Radical Extreme Jihadists who do hate dogs, abuse/enslave women/girls, behead people of other religions. Now, that's not to say which nations (other than ISIS) sanction any or all of these behaviors. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabby Kitten Posted December 10, 2016 #14 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Absolutely disgusting. The problem with Iran is that not everyone is a Muslim and have to adhere to this barbaric law. I don't believe all Muslims hate dogs and there are some who respect the animals. There are Iranian people who are distressed having to lose their dogs.

Because people don't want to think or change their positions and articles like this are conveniently published to meticulously keep the fires of ignorance and hatred stoked. Look how easy it was to illicit comments of hatred and anger without thinking for one second just how silly and nonsensical the headline read. Wouldn't be any different than if, instead of Iranians it was Germans, Japanese, Russians or whatever group people have been conditioned to hate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its more of a Hadith than something from the Quran ... and Rahmat means more alike 'blessings from Allah SWT' than 'angels' ... I dunno ... I've had it explained to me in numerous ways by numerous people but all in all I got the point that its more a Custom rather than a religious tenet, more to the point is the issue of 'cleanliness' so its not exactly 'Haram / Forbidden' but more towards 'not advised/advisable' or is frowned upon ... ~ edit : I missed the point you raised about the good Doc and the dog ... I don't think its fair to associate that with Islam as some people not used to being around dogs or has had bad experiences with dogs also don't like being around or have dogs around them ... ~ Edited December 11, 2016 by third_eye too early in the morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibongo Posted December 11, 2016 #19 Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) This is genuine. My Golden Retriever does NOT approve! It is an attempt to stop the Western cultural invasion.

ellapenella Posted December 13, 2016 #22 Share Posted December 13, 2016 ISIS Fighters Reportedly Killed By A Heroic American Military Dog A battle in northern Iraq (near the ISIS fort in Mosul), had just to a grisly death. A group of SAS commandos traveling in a caravan of four vehicles were headed back to their base when a roadside bomb exploded and obliterated one of their trucks. That wasn’t the death I was talking about, though. 50 ISIS militants surrounded the troops, who quickly got armed, out of their vehicles, and found cover. The militants had Toyotas mounted with machine guns, and it seemed sure that few of the commandos would survive. In the midst of the firefight, one soldier decided to release one of their military K9 dogs. The massive German Shepherd charged towards one of the ISIS members who tried, and failed, to shoot the dog down. In seconds the dog had ripped apart the ISIS soldier and returned to his trainer. That was what I was talking about. Share away, people! http://www.heroviral.com/dog-kills-isis/ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are verses of the Quran saying a great people of the past had dog companions and the verse speaks of them with respect. the Hadith on the other had seem to promote cats instead of dogs. Abu Huraira ( Father of Cats), was known to love cats and is attributed with being one of the earliest sources of the Hadith. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you do about it ? Even if the owners ignore your complaint, there should be local by-laws covering noise nuisance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
