Do you think this will fly in the US?
He's Saudi author and cleric, "Dr." Muhammad Al-'Arifi, who in a remarkable segment broadcast on Saudi and Kuwaiti television in September, counseled young Muslim men on how to treat their wives.

It is kind of strange to hear someone counsel others to beat their wives yet, he did say that they shouldn't beat with their hands and should use a toothpick (?) and then he went on to say that it was acceptable to "lightly beat" their wives (regularly not, just when you are angry) and to make sure that the marks would not show and not to make her face ugly!! No, I do not think that anyone should beat their wives, children, husbands or anyone for that matter. Hitting someone as a means of defense is the only reason that you might strike out at someone but, I do not generally believe in hitting anyone ever.

At one time it was considered all right to beat your wife with a switch no bigger around than your thumb.
In this country.
We also have a long tradition of looking the other way when a woman or child ends up 'being clumsy'' at the hospital too many time. Thank God that's changing.
Too many cops were dismissed by being told, that it was just a husband/wife thing, don't interfere.
Lets hope that's changing too.
I'd love to see the day we no longer have headlines about dead women last seen with their boyfriend/husband.
Or jealousy shootings.
Hes not right, but then we aren't in a prime position to criticize.
Lets hope one day we will be.

Great, then they come here & expect to be able to treat US women the same...hey...then they will go to jail & maybe be deported! Okay, so teach all the US young women growing up how to defend themselves, Akido or something, then we can get them out one by one!
Right...They really need to stay in the desert, they are not civilized is any way.

Domestic violence is a serious issue in the US.
Of course this won't fly, but let's also be role models regarding spousal and child abuse.

Maybe if we piss off enough US women, by showing how worthless muslims are, and how barbaric they are, we can go in and take out all the insurgents and everyone will be happy.

One of the examples of a truly barbaric society is how bad they treat their women. Nothing more needs to be said.
