What? You thought this was an article from the Onion? Nope. It's in the BBC today. :omg: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2326357.stm[^] But, there is a similar story in the Onion (MP3 format). Islamic Fundamentalists Condemn Casual Day [^] Maybe this Muslim cleric is the reincarnation of Falwell. ------------------------------------------ "Isn't it funny how people say they'll never grow up to be their parents, then one day they look in the mirror and they're moving aircraft carriers into the Gulf region?" - The Onion

What is the big deal? Different countries have different ways of living. Ok, people in Iran don't have the freedom to own a dog, but I don't have the freedom to enjoy a dog-meat dish in the USA. Did you see any beef sandwich sold in India (MacDonald and Burger King will never prosper there, I guess)?
When told that some people consider dogs more trustworthy than men, one Korean man said: "That's just evolution," he said. "Trust is a trick that dogs play. They don't want you to know how delicious they are." http://archive.salon.com/wlust/feature/1998/10/28feature.html[^] -c

"He is only against dogs with legs ?" I guess he is not against mechanically separated dogs just as Americans are not against mechanically separated cows and chickens. ;-)

Before this one gets out of hand, a 'smart' radar system told the ships captain that an ascending civilian Airbus was a descending military fighter aircraft. He was in a no win situation there, this wasn't a 'fire at them anyway' situation. I would hate to have to make that decision. Elaine Would you like to meet my teddy bear ?
Before this one gets out of hand, a 'smart' radar system told the ships captain that an ascending civilian Airbus was a descending military fighter aircraft. He was in a no win situation there, this wasn't a 'fire at them anyway' situation. I would hate to have to make that decision. Not long before this incident, there was a passionate editorial on "Voice Of America" denouncing the shutdown of a South Korean airplane by the Soviet Union. I was really moved by the editorial. When the USA shutdown the Iranian airplane, VOA said nothing, not a word. The difference between the two incidents is, the South korean Airplane invaded the air space of Soviet Union, while the Iranian airplane was no where near USA. Since that time I have learned many lessens, here are some of them: 1. Some life, especially the life of a US citizen, worths a lot more than a life from a "uncivilized" country. 2. Don't ever believe what the US government says about its foreign policy and world affairs.

I was simply making a statement about the general concept of intervening in someone elses lifestyle. My point exactly. But that wasn't really your original point. First, we aren't advocating intervening in Iran to protect dog-owners. If we're talking about intervention in other people's lifestyles, why aren't you pointing out the obvious fit: Iranian clerics intervening in the lives of Iranian dog owners. I guess you support my point. The hard-line clerics are hyperactive when it comes to intervening in other people's lives. ------------------------------------------ "Isn't it funny how people say they'll never grow up to be their parents, then one day they look in the mirror and they're moving aircraft carriers into the Gulf region?" - The Onion

They serve everything but beef. I think they use veggie burgers instead. Jason Gerard "This almost never matters, except quite often."
