Dear Dog Lovers – As salaamu alaikum!
Maybe you know that Swiss voters have just backed a call to ban minarets from mosques. The guys here at Paperholic are very surprised and sad and disappointed about it…
… I myself have no voting rights but after reading this article examining the place of dogs in Islam I must confess that I would have loved to see more new minarets built here in Switzerland. I think, minarets are also excellent orientation points for your daily walks, especially in the evening time when their lamps are lighted.
What a pity, but that’s life, and life must go on. And so I wanna (finally) say some words about our new header image. At a first look it seems to be a little bit esoteric; but in fact, it shows a very common scene (revealed only by shadows): a dog with a big snout looking at a two-humped camel passing by in the sand of a dune.
It’s not exactly brilliant, I think, but it could be worse. See you next time!
