There is domestic violence in all cultures, but only in one does it have divine sanction.
The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience”: “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’s child bride, Aisha, says in a hadith that 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?’” — Sahih Muslim 2127
An another hadith states: “Rifa`a divorced his wife whereupon `AbdurRahman bin Az-Zubair Al-Qurazi married her. `Aisha said that the lady (came), wearing a green veil (and complained to her (Aisha) of her husband and showed her a green spot on her skin caused by beating). It was the habit of ladies to support each other, so when Allah’s Messenger came, Aisha said, ‘I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women. Look! Her skin is greener than her clothes!’” — Sahih Bukhari 7.77.5825

“Tunisia MP repeatedly slaps female colleague in parliament,” Middle East Monitor, July 1, 2021:
Tunisian Parliament deputy Sahbi Samara yesterday slapped opposition MP and leader of the Free Destourian Party, Abir Moussi, twice before other MPs intervened and moved him away.
The incident represents the latest episode of violence and chaos that has engulfed Tunisia’s tumultuous parliamentary sessions on more than one occasion.
It was not clear why the deputy attacked Moussi. However, widely circulated video footage shows how Samara got up from his seat and moved swiftly to the opposition figure while she was streaming the session directly on her mobile phone, and hit her repeatedly.
Tension prevailed in the parliament because of a sit-in staged by the Free Destourian MPs who protested against the adoption of a deal which would allow an office for the Qatar Fund for Development to be opened in Tunisia.
Moussi and the Free Destourian deputies are fierce oppositionists of Islamic currents, particularly the Ennahda movement and the International Union for Muslim Scholars (IUMS) branch in Tunisia.
“This is their true face… violence… insulting women… defaming chaste women… hegemony… violations,” Moussi posted on her Facebook page….
MIke says
so they call it Islamophobia this is what the west is rolling out the red carpet for
Wellington says
In Islamthink slapping women around equals a proper and time-honored debate tactic.
Hoi Polloi says
Appalling. But the quote from Moussi, “defaming chaste women” says that whatever’s done to women is ok, if they’re not certified islam-compliant. That is the true purpose of the hood they wear, after all. Go after her, not me, is its message.

True, Hoi Polloi. Of course, even in “moderate” Tunisia, it is unlikely that Moussi could just condemn abusing women in general.
Hoi Polloi says
I’m sure. Always have to qualify, even after an attack. Vile.

They also have to let Islam off the hook, as well.
“The Stoning of Soroya M.”, for instance, is a powerful and disturbing film–but even so, they have to claim that stoning is not actualy Islamic, no matter how absurd the assertion.
Hoi Polloi says
Thanks for the reminder.
Walter Sieruk says
Sharia law permits male Muslim violence against women because Islam is a religion of brutal ruthless misogyny.
About Sharia law. It should be made known that the actual origin of Sharia law is revealed in a Time –Life book with the title MESOPOTAMIA: THE MIGHTY KINGS copyright 1995. The point is this history book about the ancient pagan world of Mesopotamia informs the reader that “many Islamic laws resemble the Babylon and Assyrian forebears.” .page 150.
There is the above and other references imply that such pagan teachings were incorporated into the religion that Muhammad manufactured and then started.
Thus this further reveals that a lot of ancient paganism is part of the whole religion of Islam.
In other words, ancient paganism makes up much of Islam. Therefore Islam with it’s Sharia law is a hoax.

………………..
I wish I could say this surprises. Islam is a woman-hating creed.

Didn’t Erdogan ‘s Islamo Nazi government just withdraw from the gender protection treaty?

Right you are:
“Turkey women protest withdrawal from gender protection treaty”

Not beating women is un-Islamic.
Otis says
Mr.Sabri S. have you watched this video? Would you like your wife to be treated like this? Do you know that you fake religion condones this? I would love to get your views on this topic if indeed you’re a sane person.
James Lincoln says
Otis,
Just consider everything that Sabri S. writes is coming for a very devout muslim…
