yes, muslims hate it when someone keeps an animal at home that is smarter than themselves

IMO dogs are the best damn animal on the planet. At least as far as animals that have a relationship with humans is concerned. We owe a lot to dogs. They may smell when wet or haven't been bathed in awhile (im guessing thats were "unclean" comes in), but a good dog is irreplaceable for what they provide.

Lawmakers in Tehran have recently proposed a bill in parliament that would criminalize dog ownership, formally enshrining its punishment within the country's Islamic penal code.
Way to blaze a path for freedom... :O:

Is it just me or does Tehran still seem to be living in the middle ages? And to make matters worse, they seem to be moving backwards! :doh:

The Iranian government, abusing religion for the own goals
this is why i do not follow any type of organized religion

A stupid law that will accomplish nothing but further pushing the citizens further away from the government's stance. :nope:

It would be nice if the Time Article included a citation of the law though. :nope:

Further research shows that
Hojatolislam Hassani has been pushing this since 1998 and has never been passed by the Consultative Assembly. Yet another reason to be afraid of anyone who tries to introduce religion into governance.
