Funniest thing Muhammad said... :)

Haha. What a jerk. One thing I love about my husband (Muslim) is that he is vehemently against the beating of women and gets very angry when he finds out Muslims are beating women. His cousin is often the victim of that, but no matter how much my husband tells her that she needs to leave her husband or press charges against him, she won't. It is so sad. I believe that the Qur'an does say some sort of light physical abuse is acceptable and does say not to beat a wives face. But really the truth is that anyone who loves God, Muslim or not, would not have the heart to hurt their wife.

well shoot! who would know if she was beaten on her face? she isn't allowed to show it! can ya imagine how worthless it would make you feel having to hide what you look like EVERY SINGLE DAY?? trust me, a beating would hurt a lot less than the mental cruelty they have to deal with on a daily basis. Hellcord, dude, you rock!

I really dont think any Prophet would write such things, for I believe he himself married many times over. The koran I think has been manipulated by the Imams etc. to suit their dirty minds. However, I really cant comment, never having read the Koran, but I think its shameful for any body to beat their wives. Women have to be respected and these Imams have really brainwashed the communtiy into their way of thinking. According to them, women are just like cattle, to be used for pleaure and keep house, and for nothing else. Jihad, also according to my understanding is w hen somebody threatens your religion, not otherwise. In this day and age, every body is given the freedom to practice whatever religion they like, these brainwashed people think every other religion should be banned and only Islam should be practiced. As you say, it should be practices by the sensible few only.

I admit there are Muslims who say one thing and do something of the opposite. These are the Muslims who have given a bad image to their religion. In several Islamic countries Islam may be the official religion but only on paper. The implementation is based on traditional custom, instead of true Islamic law. For example in this case the woman has the right to file for a divorce if the husband has been aggressively abusing her, but I doubt she would be given the chance to do so. At least in my country there have been women who succeeded in their filings because their husbands did something wrong. Do not worry, I am not offended. At least you posted it in a nice way. all the best, rosdimy
