These are all choices made during the process, but beatings are allowed only as a last resort. The honoring of the wife in Islam is also evident in the fact that the punishment of beating is permissible in one case only: when she refuses to sleep with him.
Commentator: When she refuses to sleep with him?
Cleric Sa’d Arafat: Yes, because where else could the husband go? He wants her, but she refuses. He should begin with admonishment and threats,
Commentator: Allow me to repeat this, A man cannot beat his wife over food or drink.
Cleric Sa’d Arafat: Beating are permitted only in this case, which the husband cannot do without.
Isn’t it good to know that if your wife doesn’t feel like letting you “hit that” one night, you can simply hit her. I mean, really, you would dishonor her if you did not hit her. Oh, the shame!
You know what actually is shameful? The fact that some want us to teach our children to accept this, because it would be intolerant and meany pants if we dare to point out anything that doesn’t fall in line with the Religion of Peace ™ meme. American citizens are demonized as biased and hateful if even bringing up the subject. Those who not only subjugate women, but also wish to kill us receive apologies. The media frantically avoids perceived “profiling”, including avoiding the use of the word Islam at all costs in any negative stories, out of the insane fear of looking non-politically correct.
We are instead to pretend that Islam is super awesome always and stick our fingers in our ears singing la-la-la as the abuse of Muslim women continues. Because, tolerance. Well, guess what? Barbarism should not be tolerated nor should it be “appeased.” Silence is not just consent when it comes to such wrongs; it makes one complicit in their perpetuation.
While leftist feminists (femisogynists) continue to screech about perceived systematic misogyny in America, all made up out of whole cloth, we are encouraged to teach our daughters to respect Islam and Sharia Law. We are expected to worship at the altar of Better Than You ™ multiculturalism. And we are to ignore the actual oppression and subjugation of women in the Muslim world – and of Muslim women here in America. Because, George W. Bush. And oil or something.
I refuse to do so. As do many strong conservative women and men. Including George W. Bush. It is he who is continuing to aid the women in the Middle East who are truly oppressed and abused. The George W. Bush Institute has a women’s initiative, chaired by Mrs. Laura Bush, that is focusing on empowering women in the Middle East, where it is desperately needed.
I won’t, however, hold my breath and wait for N.O.W. or any of their fellow sister travelers to weigh in. They are too busy demonizing American conservative women and endorsing the men who call them whores.
