It's ok to beat your wife/spouse!

Good job judge Al-Razine. And Muslims wonder why there is so much disdain for them in the world.

Oh really? So it's ok for a guy to wail on a woman anywhere but her face? That makes much more sense.

They should waterboard them instead. I understand Americans support waterboarding as a great alternative to torture.

And then they wonder why they are laughed at across the globe.

ooh look I did a generalisation too!!!

I guess we don't have much right to complain about it as long as we're still buying their oil... so can someone explain to me why we're still buying their oil when there are viable alternatives to support our energy needs that don't fund terrorism and wife-beating? As for generalizations against muslims/Saudis: I personally don't care what the average Saudi thinks about how women should be treated- all that matters is what the regime thinks, because that's who we're trading with.

 

What. The. Fuck. are you talking about?

What part about him saying that it's ok to beat your wife seems to escape yoru narrow minded perception? Please tell us.

For what? Too bad. Just like you said the other day,

"I'll challenge it"

 

You sound like an abusive person yourself.

 

Nope. Just intolerant of immature bullshit coming from immature people like you.
And for the record, you're the one that whined like a little baby when I reported your post in another thread.

*in a whiny little brat's voice* Go ahead and report it. I'll challenge it. Na na na na ha ha.

How about you grow up before you start accusing me of anything?

 

You generalised against all Muslims based on what one judge said in a conference on domestic violence in a room full of Muslim women who opposed him. You're a bigot.

When I presented the original news source with other views from the same judge you told me I wanted to be beaten up by one of the abusive men and would enjoy being their punching bag. You're a misogynistic POS.

I reported you for bigotry and hate speech. ie being an asshole.

Have you ever hit a woman?

 

I think comparing these Muslims to Christians, you're talking about the kinds of Christians like around the backwoods south. Neither really represents the religion. My mom's family has been friends with an Iranian family for probably 50 years. I think everyone on Mom's side has been to a mosque for services. People are pretty much the same regardless of faith. Feel free to either feel relieved or really disappointed.

No. Its not ok
Has there been a rise in abuse in that country or is it just talked about more?

 

Why do they care if she gets bruises on her face? She has to cover it anyway doesn't she.

Nothing surprises me with these people. Aren't they they same ones that
legalized rape and letting women out unless they had permission. :shrug:

So much disinformation and ignorance, where to start.

The article seems pretty clear to me Diamond Heart. But in ancient Rome and in other parts of Europe it was perfectly legal to beat wives and in some cases kill them. In ancient Rome,and if you are a wife, better not drink wine.

Valerius Maximus,
Memorable Deeds and Sayings 6.3.9-12
Egnatius Metellus... took a cudgel and beat
his wife to death because she had drunk some
wine. Not only did no one charge him with a
crime, but no one even blamed him. Everyone
considered this an excellent example of one
who had justly paid the penalty for violating
the laws of sobriety. Indeed, any woman who
immoderately seeks the use of wine closes the
door on all virtues and opens it to vices.

And the point is women have historically been abused, it needs to stop.

 

Yep. Here in the US sometimes a husband is charged with spousal abuse or battery instead of rape when he rapes his wife. For some reason if you are married to her its seen as a lesser crime than if you had done it to a stranger.

 

It's Saudi Arabia, for heaven's sake

We also have to remember that this is Saudi Arabia, which is representative of nothing but Saudi Arabia. It's hard to call that country Islamic anything. We might as well take Ted Haggard as an example and suggest that all Christian men like to mold dildos in the shape of their penises and have it inserted into them by their wives.
