| Girl Abuses Koran, gets Turned into Dog |

| (Hat tip: LGF) 'Allah turned girl into dog' Well, son of a bitch! Punishment meted out after girl mishandles Quran, according to rumor circulating at Arab-Israeli town TAIBEH — Harsh punishment? A Muslim girl from Taibeh was punished by Allah and turned into a dog, according to rumors that have been circulating in the Arab-Israeli town this week, Arab-language newspaper Panorama reported. According to the rumors, the harsh punishment was meted out after the girl, upset by her mother's request to bring her the Quran as she was watching television, threw the holy Muslim book at the mother with disdain. As opposed to throwing it with respect, I suppose. The newspaper decided to look into the rumors and sent a reporter to check where they originated. "Sounds credible to me, Achmed, go check it out" As it turned out, the source was a photocopy of a news story posted in Taibeh's largest mosque. According to that report, taken from the Internet, the unusual story happened in a Muslim country in Asia. Local women say they saw story on TV "But, Sarai, everything on tv is true! That is how we know about the infidel atrocities in Iraq and the censorship and repression in America." However, the newspaper reported, the rumor changed several versions as it was passed on. At one point, the dog apparently "moved" from to one of the Persian Gulf countries, and from there to Gaza, before ending up in Taibeh itself Later on, women in Taibeh even claimed they saw the story featured on Palestinian television and on Israel's channel 33. The newspaper reporter also turned to the Muslim leaders to ask their opinion on the matter. One religious cleric responded that the story was obviously baseless, "since Allah doesn't need to turn a girl into a dog in order to prove his strength. If Allah wants to prove his power he can make the entire universe shake." "or tell us to stone her or set off a car bomb or something." She is lucky she didn't burn the Koran instead, she might have been turned into something really awful, like a DUper or an NYT columnist. |

| #4 Maybe the village elders should have the dog publicly gang raped. |

| #1 Don't let the male dogs come sniffing around, or your father will have to kill you for his family's honor. So, would it be worse to be a dog or a woman under sharia? If that's the penalty for misusing a Koran, do we have more members of the K-9 Corps in Gitmo? |
