Palestinian   (09.09.06)
Someone please act and send them to the south pole!
2. is this article about actual dogs?
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (09.09.06)
since the suadis regularly refer to jews as dogs, pigs, etc, how do we know they are not really talking about jews? or is it the same thing to them?
3. Pathetic!
James ,   Toledo Oho USA   (09.09.06)
Obviously someone in the Saudi police has too much time on their hands.
4. Saudi ban on pets

12. Wahabism
Sagi   (09.09.06)
Neturei Karta, Satmar and Belz, all one and the same thing. Ativistic quirks of humanity who should be outlawed by normal decent people because they are dangerous/
13. exageration mixed with stupidity
saudi   (09.09.06)
There is a lot of exageration here mixed up with actual stupidity from both the officials who passed out this decree as well as brainless youths who cant live without copycating western values which dont match with the Arab culture. Yes, sadly, its a mix of stupidity from all sides. I am disgusted when I see a Saudi trying to look western but cant understand what western values are. Its like being western from the outside to show off but being 100% arab from the inside. When you ask him, what do you know about the west? he would say "Disco, sex, michael Jackson".
14. Good step to counteract the rise of bestiality in the kingdo
someone ,   somewhere   (09.09.06)
Now young boys/ girls can return to their Filipino lovers. What a screwed up society! And think about it: Israel is less than 1000 miles from those morons.
15. Breaking News: Saudi Arabia Bans Pet Rocks
Johnson ,   USA   (09.09.06)
Typical Islamic Crap. I cannot believe that this kind of shit is happening in this day and age. I bet if you set your people free, there would be one hell of a lot less muslims in the world.
16. Neturei Karta are dogs but without character
Sean ,   Israel   (09.09.06)

19. Obviously it is because of Shebaa Farms!
Hassan N. ,   Dehiya   (09.09.06)
20. And why is this drek on the front page?
Antonio ,   Haifa   (09.09.06)
21. Do you know why?
cleopatra ,   egypt   (09.09.06)
Coz the dogs always see the the other dogs as their enemy! It seems like: dogs catch dog!!! LOL
22. New secret weapon.
magrudis ,   Houston, TX   (09.09.06)
Maybe they are worried about Iran's latest and most advanced secret weapon... the cat bomb. A genetically altered feline which can carry a 1kg payload. Beware the cat bomber.
23. I am lost, I am such a sinner!!!!
Neo ,   MidEast Matrix/Czech   (09.09.06)
Quotation: "According to one hadith, Muhammad said a Muslim loses credit for one good deed each day he keeps a dog..." I have a great 4legged friend, breed Tosa Inu whom I called Sion (Zion in Czech). So, according to this hadith I am completely lost: I have a dog (a big minus in Islam), I have it for more than a year (cca 395 credits minus) and I called him Zion! (the greatest ever imaginable minus in Islam - to call someone I love after that ... Zionist entity!!!) The outcome is eternal hell, it seems to me... Maybe, there is some better and more peacefull, more merciful (and also more wise) religion than Islam and more loving God than Allah and more compassionate prophet that Mohammad....
24. Saudis have announced some copyCATS are allowed
Yossi ,   Los Angeles, CA   (09.09.06)
Update: the Saudis have announced that copyCAT suicide bombers working within the pre=1967 borders of Israel are allowed under Sharia law.
25. what?
udi   (09.09.06)
i wish the world will open it's eye's and see with what kind of people he is dealing with. these people ban dogs cats , "evil" westren influence, what next????? maybe they'll start to ban all of the non muslim people or maybe they already did ?.
26. I guess they aren't too used to rain in the dessert...
Weatherman   (09.09.06)
Coz of all the cats and dogs.
27. Poor saudis.
Keren ,   Sao Paulo   (09.09.06)
It is a trully disgrace to be ruled for these mad fascists!
28. G-D Created Dogs and cats
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (09.09.06)
Bible, Genesis 1:1 In the beginning G-d created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:25 G-d made the beasts of the earth...and G-d saw that it was good. As G-d created dogs - why is Saudi Arabia so upset with what G-d CREATED?
29. What do you expect from those people?
Yanni ,   Athens   (09.09.06)
You are not allowed to wear a tie. Do you expect to be able to own a dog, a cat or even a Gold Fish? Pathetic!
30. #17 Arabian Wolf - Canis Lupus
Canuck ,   Canada   (09.09.06)
Arabian Canis Lupus, wild nomadic member of the dog family canidae and apparently very unclean.
