A 70-year-old Iranian man was arrested and sentenced to four months in jail and 30 lashes for walking his dog, Adnkronos.com reported Tuesday. Police caught the man on the street with his dog in Shahr Rey, a suburb of Tehran.

Owners of domestic animals are forbidden from taking them on the streets of the city because Islam considers dogs to be impure. An Islamic judge later charged the man for "disturbing the public order,” Adnkronos.com reported.

Despite repeated warnings by the police, dog owners continue to defy authorities by taking their dogs outside their homes. Typical punishment for people caught with dogs outside is a fine or the "detention" of their animals in a pound, Adnkronos.com reported.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad recently provoked debate in Iran about dog ownership when he took possession of four guard dogs, bought in Germany for approximately $161,040 each.

Too conservative ra jud ning Shariyah Law.
Their laws are like the same laws that the Bible and Talmud prescribes,
Such as the laws for adultery; where a woman would be stoned to death.
We no longer do that

There is one verse in the Talmud, that declares it is better to cut your hand off than to steal, and this law was enforced by the Hebrews, even by early Christian kingdoms, however, no longer is followed due to the barbarity of it all.

In Islamic Republics, they follow such laws, called Shari'yah laws, to the book.
When my dad was still an Engineer in Saudi, he told me that there was one case where a Filipino construction worker was charged for stealing by the Saudis, and the crime was his right hand being severed. There was another case where a Filipino worker killed a Saudi in a brawl, the Saudi started the fight by the way. The punishment was the beheading of the Filipino.

They treat Filipinos harshly there because of their Christian faith as well as look down on non-Arabic peoples.
