"Hell, I even dislike their dislike of dogs."
A classic Daphne truth-telling. Appropriate for today:I find myself increasingly repulsed by Muslim practices and beliefs. Middle Eastern, African, Asian, American, the country of origin makes no difference. Women and children treated as chattel, genital mutilation, child brides, honor killings, culturally accepted pedophilia, the black drapes and head coverings, no rights, no votes, little to non-existent educational opportunities, no voice, no choices, no recourse. Persecution of homosexuals. Imprisonment, stoning and whipping for morality crimes. Lack of free speech. The foul treatment of non-Muslims in Islamic countries. The demented hatred of Jews. Sharia Law. Wahhabism. Madrasas. Blind obedience to Mullahs. Praying towards Mecca -- a place on the map few will ever see. Individuality is shut down, originality and freedom of the mind discouraged. Islam pisses on human talents that fall outside the dark walls of its faith. Hell, I even dislike their dislike of dogs. -- Scheherazade Needs A New Tale « Jaded Haven

I have often fantasized about driving a tank down a main street of a Taliban stronghold village blasting the Clash "Rock the Casbah..." Childish, I know...
It may be simplistic, but you can tell how civilized or barbarous a society is by the way it treats women, children and dogs.
Arguably, our society is heading back to barbarism as it sexualizes children again after a brief hundred or two hundred years of trying to protect them.
But look at the countries that hate dogs. Most of them also treat women and children as chattels.
I loved this story that we used on Project Valour IT about the marine and his dog:
