Ahmadinejad dogs upset Shari’a judges

Iran’s “shepherd gate” tale: Ahmadinejad dogs upset Shari’a judges of Qom due to Islamic purity laws

Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad paid 110,000 euros each for four guard dogs bought in Germany, Adn Kronos International News, Italy, reported Tuesday, Feb. 5.

The controversy mounted as theological discussion focused on Islamic laws against dogs as impure animals. Especially upset were the ayatollah’s of Qom.

For this reason, the government has banned owners of domestic animals from taking them on the streets of the city, and owners risk penalties or the 'detention' of their animals in a pound.

Now that Ahmadinejad is protecting German dogs, many are asking the question: why can he have dogs while other citizens are banned?

The move has been badly received by several high-ranking ayatollahs.

In the middle of the controversy, the Fars agency considered the unofficial spokesman for Ahmadinejad, gave wide coverage to the issue related to the president's dogs.

"First of all these dogs are only of a German breed, bought as puppies, but grown and trained in Iran in the hands of Iranian instructors," Fars said.

"The purchase of these dogs was authorized by a fatwa issued by several ayatollahs who approved the use of these animals if the only goal was to guarantee personal security and not infringe on any religious rule."

It was a judgment not shared by other religious leaders, for example, those that issued a fatwa authorizing police to fine whoever is seen on the street with a puppy.

Isn’t Shari’a a beautiful thing when it’s the other guy getting hit with it? “I’m-a-nut-job” so richly deserves this, too.

What’s difficult for us kufar infidels to understand is the whole: Love a puppy, you must pay, stone a raped girl, that’s okay; with Shari’a laws in place – rock on…thing.
