Re: Islam and Dogs(animal)
Interesting … The things that make sense to you X2 you don’t seem to argue with … You readily accepted that the origins in pictures being forbidden is based on iconography … Yet you challenged the implication of the image of dogs … I think you were right to challenge it … Some of the hard liners even say images of trees is wrong … If fact they say any form of painting and any photograph is wrong … So the extent of what I am saying is not that extreme … However I acknowledge they have a basis for what they say … I also acknowledge the reverse that people say photos are harmless and that even pictures are harmless in the world today …
But we are a middle path religion and I feel it is better to follow the middle path in all matters without compromising requirements and without hindering spiritual progress.
