Recently, the Archbishop of Canterbury suggested that the U.K. would be wise to adopt some sharia law to accommodate the increasing numbers of Muslims. At first, I thought that it was much the same as an influx of voodoo practitioners moving into the Anglican church having their need to sacrifice chickens and goats accepted. However, given this latest news from Iran it may be that it could provide a solution that would clean up the country and also make PETA happy at the same time.
A 70 year old man in Iran was sentenced to four months in jail and 30 lashes for walking his dog. Just the mere act of walking the dog in public violates the theocratic sensibilities. Imagine what a wonderful place Great Britain would be without dogs. Perhaps the US should follow suit. I wonder what the penalty for Paris Hilton would be for carrying around her little purse puppy?
Even in a wonderful and pure Islamic republic there are exceptions to every rule. The Iranian president is able to have 4 imported German Shepards by special fatwa.

Perhaps the 70 year old could claim the fatwa exemption el Presidente got covered him since he was only using the dogs for protection - just like our Members-Only-Jacket wearing hero. Some members of our supreme court like to cherry pick law from around the world to find a precedent to support their opinions. Perhaps the old man could do the same and claim our equal protection clause. Ergo, a fatwa has to apply to everyone equally. I wouldn't hold my breath though. He's goin' in the pokey and getting' a woopin'. Yes, by all means, let's bring us much of this as we can to the West.
By the way, $165,000 for a dog? And he got four of them? For that kind of dough they better be able to clean up after themselves, sing in four part harmony, and dance the Macarena.
