    Thanks for letting us know, Fox. Time for President Bush to start bombing those Eyeranians and making them free to walk their dogs and enjoy the other benefits of liberty.

    From what I know there are wild dogs in Iran usually wondering the streets, don't get why this old man got arrested considering how dogs run around freely…………………………then I looked at the source, an Italian online news site that seems to be fixated on Iran, most the articles are about Iran/Islambad.

    No matter how one may feel about a law, it's still something you have to follow. Getting jailed after breaking the law should be not be a big deal.

    It's important to understand the source (thanks meh) but also what "dogs are impure" means:

    - You can't pray where they've walked.
    - Impure is reffering to the concept of "najis" in Islam which is not easy to understand. But it is a concept. As examples, dog saliva and human blood (except from the mouth) are "najis".

    It's also important to differentiate these things:

    - all dog owners and their dogs should be arrested: minority opinion, stupidity.
    - all dog owners should not walk their dog in public: law.
    - all dog owners can walk their dog on private property: law.
    - all iranians can have dogs: law.
    - all iranians have sufficient brain cells to accept the circumstances: law.


    This is not some poor unsuspecting guy. This is a repeat offender who symbolically proclaimed "***** the law".

    Now, I am Muslim. I have two dogs. Why? Because I am aware of how much freedom I have with my personal choices regarding this issue. That's why, if I was living in Iran, I wouldn't have a dog, and I certainly would'nt walk them in public.
