There is more to any religion than its holy text(s). Faiths don't stop advancing after the books are written. The original U.S. Constitution legalized slavery and only gave male landowners the right to vote. Should I leave or loathe the U.S.A. as a result?
Obviously not all (or, I hope, not most) Muslims believe in beating women, just like most Christians don't believe that working on the Sabbath should be punishable by death.

Unfortunately, there are people still today, that will wish you
to hell, and even kill you for daring to say their holy writings aren't the perfect message from God.
But man is not a perfect creature. And through time, as the
different writings were copied down, they were changed around. Not necessarily out of mischief, but because we do not all perceive things in the same way.
Islamic scholars say Muhammad was like Jesus. He wrote very
little himself, and the wisdom was passed down by word of mouth. We all know how that can get misconstrued, from one
person to the next. So how do we know what in our holy writings
is what was actually said by the prophets? And what may have been added later to the purpose of less enlightened men?

I could point you to a hundred worse things in the bible. For starters, take the part in Exodus when God tells Moses that they have to kill every man, woman, and child that were then occupying the land he was about to give them. Today we call that genocide. Then God punishes them because they didn't kill everyone like he told them. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Christian, but it ain't just the Muslims that have this kind of history.

It is better to beat the wife.... than to cut off her hand or shave her, as the Bible recommends:
Deutronomy 25: 11
When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets:
12: Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her.
NO PITY?? For your own wife!! DARN!!
1 Corr. 11:6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
COVER or SHAVE THE HEAD OFF!! Darn!!

I don't trust the modern translations and extrapolations of the Quran to be accurate, any more than I trust the translations and extrapolations there are of the Christian Bible to be accurate. Enough said.

Islam is a religion based on the anger of a frustrated pedophile who wanted to strike out at Christians and Jews. At its heart it remains the same angry religion. And I have read the Q'uran so I know that you speak the truth.

I would be scared to hit a woman in this day. My close friend slapped his wife on Friday and she hit him in the head with a frying pan. He went cold out and is still unconscious in the hospital. It may be easier for Muslim men to commit suicide than to beat their wives.

don't talk about something you don't know any thing about. this is not the translate of what is in th quraan, you can translate the parts that said "don't kill the younger people, and the women",
like the Israeli people are doing killing innocent people and don't care about any one in the world this is a religion to leave.

All ancient religions say this or something similar (beat your slave, sacrifice a virgin, beat your wife, kill a lamb, etc. etc.)
All religions are equally deceptive and have no place in the political arena.
If you are going to leave/loath this religion, you'd have to have the same level of outrage toward all of them.

the fact your analyzing out the on an universal basis mail tells me alot approximately your self, women isn't superior to adult adult males in technological know-how/engineering its what adult adult males created over hundreds of years, you fairly study women doing something in historic previous with the aid of fact its basically that each and one and all they have been doing is cooking, socialising and making toddlers, on an identical time as adult adult males we are out attempting to make extra clever ability of surviving over hundreds of years its going to account to a pair variations interior the recommendations which could be seen for all time.
