(excerpt)...a stewardess gave me a copy of the Daily Telegraph that threatened to change my view. It contained a story from Ankara, the city I had just left, bearing the headline Muslims Accused of Killing "Unclean" Dogs. The report said a Turkish vet caring for stray animals had come across hundreds of dead dogs in a municipal dump. These were said to have been left there by city workers who liked to round up, torture and kill dogs because they believed them "unclean".
This made me wonder if Turkey really is ready to join Europe.

Every country has animal cruelty. His argument is silly.
Usually not for religious reasons or on that scale.
Hate to interupt your Friday nite cocktail hour party...but if you knew anything about islam you would know this isn't a matter of animal cruelty.
Bury your head in the sand
Meaning
Refuse to confront or acknowledge a problem.
Origin
Comes from the supposed habit of ostriches when faced with attack by predators. Ostriches don't really do this, they just lower their heads to the ground.
That's now a crime in Washington state.
Seems he woke up and saw the light. It will be interesting to see if he has further comment, or if he will, like so many, put his blinders back on. That said, I have not read anything by this particular writer previously. I notice links to other pieces at this url, so maybe I will do that now. Thanks for posting this.
Make no mistake. Islam and Western Civilization are totally incompatible.
"Make no mistake. Islam and Western Civilization are totally incompatible"
Yes but the liberals will appease their way to compatibility.
When I was stationed in Turkey we had two mascot stray dogs. Both were Anatolian shepherds and both were fiercely protective of us Americans. Lady and Bugsy would run with us every morning for PT and occasionally would chase off other feral dogs. Lady had been abused by Turks who had tortured her and cut her ears off. She wouldn't let a turk get within 10 feet of her but would come to any American soldier happily when called. When the weather was really cold both dogs would get shuffled around through our barracks rooms, and the cooks made sure they were fed very well. I heard through the grapevine that Lady died of old age, and Bugsy was adopted and brought to the USA by a soldier when our old base was closed. Apparently the adoption paperwork was "expedited" by the girlfriend of our SGM who worked at the embassy. Lady and Bugsy had friends in very high places.
A great story with a happy ending.
