Islamic apologists in the West insist that Islam only allows men to beat their wives “lightly.” But who decides what is a “light” and what is a “heavy” beating?
“Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.” — Qur’an 4:34
Muhammad “struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you?” — Aisha (Sahih Muslim 2127)
“Saudi man whipped, handcuffed and scalded his wife with hot water, cops say,” by Charles Rabin, Miami Herald, October 18, 2017:
A worker on the 10th floor of a Miami Beach hotel was confronted by a Saudi Arabian woman Monday morning who “begged for help” after saying she had been beaten by her husband, police said.
When police arrived they said they found a traumatized family with children who had bruises on their faces from being slapped and a woman who had been whipped, handcuffed and who had scalding water poured on her.
Abdullah Alhorir, 34, was arrested and charged with battery and false imprisonment. He was taken to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. His bond was set at $6,500.
“Victim stated that her husband had beaten her with a whip in the hotel room over the course of the past several days,” Miami Beach police officer Glenn Teboe wrote in Alhorir’s arrest affidavit….
She was covered with bruises, police said and her husband tried to coax her back into the room….
Alhorir told police that his wife woke up with marks on her body and blamed him. His wife eventually handed police pictures of their daughters at Walt Disney World a few days before her husband”s arrest. Police said they had bruises on their faces….

Islam is Evil incarnate. Women are objects, children are furniture and justice for women is non existent. Muslims believe they are superior to others and instituionaly demand that Jews be executed. Other religions are forbidden in Islamic countries.
Islam breaks the world into two parts; The lands of Islam (Dar al Islam) and the lands of war (Dar al harb). Muslims believe that Muhammed was the perfect man and should be emulated in all things. If Muhaamed beheaded 800 Jews himself then that is to be emulated.
There is so much to be learned about Islam it is a lifetimes effort. To me one thing is clear, Islam is Evil incarnate.

This isn’t Saudi Arabia
John Forbes says
NO IT IS NOT SAUDI ARABIA BUT LEAVE YOUR LIBERAL JACK ASSES & THE DREGS OF THE OBAMA/CLINTON SO CALLED ADMINISTRATION THERE & THEY WILL HAVE SHARIA IN THE PLACE FAST ! ISLAMOPHOBIA BLASPHEMY LAWS SEEM TO HAVE BEEN AGREED TO BY OBAMA/HILLARY IN A DEAL WITH THE 56 MEMBERS OF THE TOLERANT ISLAMIC GROUP& PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN ENACTED IF HILLARY HAD WON SO UNLESS THE PUBLIC ARE WELL AWARE & AWAKE THINGS ARE STILL SLINKING FORWARD TOWARDS BLASPHEMY LAWS AS MUSLIM JUSTIN HAS PLANNED FOR CANADA !
BE AWARE & ENSURE THAT YOU ARE BUT DO NOT CRY IF YOU KNEW & DID NOTHING !
Benedict says
This is a valid criticism of Islam if this is the ideology that has informed the mind behind such cruelty. But it is an incomplete criticism if it ignores the madness that flourish in our own culture, e.g. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2269109/Swedish-man-stand-trial-Fifty-Shades-Grey-sado-masochistic-sex-game-death-girlfriend.html
I know that madness in the West is not the focus of JW, but once a while it should be brought up — there might be a connection with the madness we import from other parts of the world?
Rob says
JW has not claimed that there are no wackos in our own society; being comprised of humans, every society has, at any given time, a few loony-tunes in their midst. What you appear to have missed is whether such violent or otherwise deviant behavior is condoned by the host society thru law and/or religion.
Benedict says
The allure of violence in the a West is more subtle and compelling in its own way. A culture that excels in the production of violence as entertainment will reap what it sows.
gravenimage says
Benedict’s implication that sadistic murder is condoned in the West is *quite* unfounded. Why does he think this man is on trial for murder?

What do you think is the major factor causing Abdullah’s anger?
1) His pock-marked complexion resembling hamburger
2) The blank stare of his “dead” eyes
3) The uni-brow that spans the width of his overly large forehead
4) The unpleasant demeanor revealed by his scowl
6) His pointy, protruding ears
7) His family name, Alhorir (as in, “All Horror”)
8) His indoctrination into an ideology that instructs you to beat your disobedient wife(s)
john spielman says
may be he ‘s angry because his toilet paper is TOO rough!
mortimer says
Xero, there’s also cousin marriage and inbreeding.
Charlie Martel says
“His bond was set at $6,500,” so he can go commit more cultural diversity! The problem is not just with the offender!
Sam says
You are absolutely right. If liberal population would understand what is going on, there would be no muslims in USA, This guy is going to kill the wife and other infidels.
Rob says
Yah…that $6,500 bond struck me as a slap on the wrist. The offense of abusing his family seems to have been trivialized by the court and, since this Saudi man is wealthy enough to bring his family to Miami and stay in a swanky hotel, I’m sure he found the bond to be puny. No doubt this entire family will be back in Sand Land before this guy’s scheduled court appearance and the abused family members will pay a high price for speaking with American law enforcement.
gravenimage says
Yes–that means putting up just $650. If he is staying in a swanky hotel, this is peanuts. I hope the family has a restraining order out against him, or else he’ll be back beating them again.
Pam Minnick says
“Rebelliousness on the part of the wife nullifies the husband’s obligation to support her, gives him permission to beat her and keep her from leaving the home.” This is Sharia law. They can’t be true muslims without Sharia law. Should make people wonder how many they will still follow here. This is their goal, and they look at their Imams as their Caliphs, explains why the Imam here in Texas was forced to resign when he agreed with President Trump on the Islamic country ban. “Jihad defined as “to war against all non-Muslims to establish the religion” is the duty of every Muslim and Muslim head of state (Caliph). Muslim Caliphs who refuse jihad are in violation of Sharia and unfit to rule.”
mortimer says
Step one: Encarerate. Step two: deport.
PRCS says
Can’t wait to hear the next version of his side of the story.
Jim says
Can’t improve on the current one. “Alhorir told police that his wife woke up with marks on her body and blamed him.” Classic. Do these guys really expect anyone to believe these stories? Like the guy in Austria who raped an 11 year old boy, badly injuring him, and explained to police that he was having a “sexual emergency”.
I’ve been thinking about the relationship between Islam and truth, about how quick they are to deflect the obvious, how quickly they will go to conspiracy theories. Does anyone know, do they actually believe these things? Do they expect anyone else to? Or is it just understood, that of course you don’t admit to anything, wink wink?
When they call people whom they don’t like ( like the anti-Muslim Brotherhood al Sisi of Egypt) a Jew, do they expect anyone to believe that, or is that just a dirty word, like calling someone a dog?
Of course, we English speakers will use figurative language, and consider conspiracy theories, and lie, as well, but there does seem to be a cultural difference in the facile relationship to truth in the Muslim world. Has Spencer ever written about this? Comments, anyone?

More “love” brought to you compliments of the religion of “peace”!
Go tell pope francis and the dalai lama, they must be re-educated! Quick!
Susette says
Muslim men perpetrate unconscionable violence on women and children, that results in lifelong PTSD. Send him back to Saudi Arabia without her and the young girls…they deserve asylum.

Unfortunately, even many victims of Islam still embrace it–and all its savagery.

Miami: Muslim whips, handcuffs and scalds his wife with hot water

He beat his children, too. This is what a Muslim “family” looks like.
