Is the freedom to dissent ultimately the most important freedom of all?

Isn’t it the basic freedom that leads to all other freedoms?

I recently saw a documentary about the moderates in Islam versus the islamists. The moderates believe Islam can indeed exist within a democracy and that the religion needs to evolve much like christianity did since the Dark Ages.

These moderates (liberals really) believe in secular government, equal rights for women, and democracy. The right-wing fundies though disagree, call them “anti-islamic” or “traitors”, and then go on to kill or try to kill them.

It’s hard to reform a system/religion when dissenters are constantly targetted for murder.

How much freedom do you give your labrador in your house?

I have a one year old male labrador. We let him come in the house and walk around freely when we are home and he does very well. At night he sleeps in his crate happily. My wife would like to let him have freedom from his crate at night to sleep where he wishes and eventually let him have total freedom in the house even while we aren’t home for several hours. I was wondering what freedoms labrador or other dog breed owners allow their dogs in their homes and at what age they were given these freedoms?
