Does the Koran encourage domestic violence (wife beating)?

Question

Earlier, someone posted a question about wife beating in Islam and included this from the Koran.
Koran 4:34 ..."Beat your wives if they disobey you."

One user confirms that it is true, and goes on to justify it this way:
"these little things can save marriage and increase the respect and love between husband and wife."
"Muhammad describe the beating by using his four fingers spank it on her shoulders."

First of all, I'm stunned at how someone can think that domestic abuse helps a relationship. Second, it doesn't say anything in the Koran about HOW to beat your wife/wives.


Then another user chimes in and supports wife beating with this little gem:
"And if u have a wife who is bad at u? are u gonna applaude her?"
"If u were speaking the truth ...then tell me why so many women are turning to islam???"

This user seems to be saying that NOT beating your wife would be like encourgaing her, and also goes off on a tangent that suggests that Sura does not exist in the Koran

But it's there, for all to see.


And still another user comes to the rescue by contradicting the first user by denying it all together:
"NO, It is a very big sin in Islam."

So the Koran tells it's readers to sin? According to Muslims, the Koran is not Mohammad's words, it's God's words. Does this mean God is telling Muslims to sin?

By the way, here was the original question:

So, if you support wife beating, give me a thumbs down. If you think wife beating is a sin, give me a thumbs up =]

Answer 1

u see allowed is something and encouraged is something else but that's another issue

let's see, I'm assuming that u r American. This sort of arrogance combined with ignorance and a rude obnoxious attitude can't be mistaken; I've been to your country and I know a few things, I understand that u r a Christian country represented by a Christian president

Now every 6 seconds an American woman in her twenties and above is being beaten ... why is that??

I'm from Egypt and your divorce rates r to the f**kin roof (3.5 times ours) ... why is that??

Crime rates ...

Public indecency ...

Racial discrimination ...

I sort of had this idea that people of a country so screwed wouldn't be judging or misjudging others but buddy your personality manages to suck in spite of the unprecedented ugliness u were born into. Man!! I woulda shuddafuckup if I were u; or maybe I woulda wondered why Muslim people r so good natured!!

but no matter what I say u r gonna keep the hate propaganda going!! so like I told u before (twice)

go get a life

This is a sensitive topic... Write up a consent waiver pointing out that she enjoys the beatings and won't take authorized movement, either one of you and a witness signal it, get it noterised and you are well to head!
