Muslims and dogs
Reader comment on: Britain: Muslim 'Cultural Sensitivity' Runs Amok
Submitted by Carolyn, Apr 22, 2012 04:31
I am at a loss to understand the 'clash' between the Muslim religion and dogs. I know that it was widely publicized a couple of years ago that a young blind, Muslim man asked his local imam if he could have a guide dog to take him to his mosque. He subsequently became the first Muslim in the UK to have a guide dog to lead him to the mosque. He was only required to leave the dog tied up outside the praying room.
Likewise Pakistan, a predominantly Muslim country, holds dog shows! There is a Sieger show in Pakistan, in which the winners are sent to represent the country at an annual championship show for German Shepherds held in Germany.

U.S.: Israel's Prosperity a Problem
by Shoshana Bryen
Under the circumstances, the U.S. would do better to tell the Palestinians there is no deal to be had unless they -- both the Fatah and Hamas -- demonstrably accommodate the reality that Israel is a legitimate, permanent part of the region. Otherwise, it is for Israel to determine how best to defend itself from those "challenges over the horizon."
The New, Improved Axis of Jihad
by Clare M. Lopez
Two years into the seismic shift that brought the forces of Islamic jihad and Sharia law to power in country after country in the Middle East and North Africa -- with the astonishing and extensive assistance from the U.S. -- Iran, Hizballah and al-Qa'eda apparently judge that the U.S. and its Western allies still need another nudge to ensure their complete retreat from "Muslim" lands. That nudge, according to independent, reliable and mutually-corroborating sources, has now been prepared by this Axis.

Why Doesn't the EU Condemn Palestinian Torture?
by Khaled Abu Toameh
More than half the 306 complaints about torture last year came from Palestinians who had been detained or imprisoned by Abbas's security forces in the West Bank; 11 detainees died in Palestinian Authority and Hamas prisons according to a report by the Palestinian Independent Commission for Human Rights.
Who is Really Desecrating Holy Sites?
by Khaled Abu Toameh
The ultimate goal is to turn the conflict into a religious war between Jews and Muslims. If anyone is desecrating the holy site, it is those who smuggle petrol bombs and stones into the compound to use them against visitors.
