The Proper Method for Beating Your Wife, Kids and Donkey..Islamic Dr Phil speaks
He's Saudi author and cleric, "Dr." Muhammad Al-'Arifi, who in a remarkable segment broadcast on Saudi and Kuwaiti television in September, counseled young Muslim men on how to treat their wives.
"Admonish them – once, twice, three times, four times, ten times," he advised. "If this doesn't help, refuse to share their beds."
And if that doesn't work?
"Beat them," one of his three young advisees responded.
"That's right," Al-'Arifi said.
He goes on to calmly explain to the young men that hitting their future wives in the face is a no-no.
"Beating in the face is forbidden, even when it comes to animals," he explained. "Even if you want your camel or donkey to start walking, you are not allowed to beat it in the face. If this is true for animals, it is all the more true when it comes to humans. So beatings should be light and not in the face."
"If he beats her, the beatings must be light and must not make her face ugly.
He should not beat her like he would beat an animal or a child -- slapping them right and left.

If I hadn't already heard of this in the "Apostolic" world I would be shocked.

It certainly would be an extreme aberration from the norm, Sheltie, and you know it. You shouldn't even insinuate otherwise. 
Inequality between the sexes is one thing...it probably does exist more than it should. Abuse and ridiculous notions about spanking or beating wives is quite another.

Oh, I didn't realize this was a "normal" thing in the Muslim culture... I assumed it was a one-off. I wasn't saying it is normal, but I do know of it happening in the Apostolic world.

I'm reading the series of books about Princess Sultana - true stories of a Saudi royal princess. The stuff in those books is so shocking, it's amazing that it still goes on in this century!! She had to write them through an American author-friend, under a pseudo name, for fear of her family in Saudi Arabia. The women in her country have absolutely NO rights, and the husbands can do anything they want with them or to them, and no one is allowed to question the men. Unbelievable!!

The family is based out of Tulsa, but the incident might have happened in Georgia. I would have to ask my mom for the specific details.

So the whole Apostolic church is painted this way because of one incident. Bright, guys...

Did anyone say that? If that is the case, then isn't the original post doing the same thing regarding muslims?
Switch to halogen... it's brighter.
