I talked with a young muslim male today at work.

I walked with my hound and went inside to get him a bowl of water. As my friend drank this guy was happy to see my pup drink and was excited to play with him. He was telling me that how you treat pets is how you are affected in the after life. I asked him what happens if you beat a woman. He immediately stopped talking. Did I say something too offend him...?

He felt conflicted because his religion often denotes that this is one way although not fully agreed with, to punish a woman. I have had a similar talk like this with some of my Muslim friends. But don't let this get to you. People are who they are. And I personally don't believe that the topic of religion is always something people can discuss in a rational and peaceful manner. ☺
