Have you really SEEN this for yourself?... other than hearing about it on Fox News and hearing from other people who have been watching the media too... and if you haven't, then how do you really know for yourself?

I've never seen anybody of any race or religion beat their wife or treat them like animals, but I'm not stupid enough to think it doesn't happen.

I've never seen anybody of any race or religion have sex with their spouse, but judging by all the children I see around, I'm guessing that happens too.

There are just some things that people like to do in private.

It is incredibly ignorant and hypocritical to insist that behaviour doesn't happen if we don't see it with our own eyes, or that the only way of getting information is via biased and sensational news. It's also incredibly ignorant and hypocritical to pretend that there is no domestic violance in Islam at all.

Of course, I'm sure you would argue this interpretation, but people seem to take 4:34 as evidence that domestic violence is permitted in Islam.

If you're looking for a case, look up that Imam (Mohamed Kamal Mustafa) in Spain who was punished for writing a book about how to "discipline" women without leaving bruises (don't tell me - you're going to tell me this court case was entirely made up by the media).

If women of Islam are not supposed to be seen in public and are veiled, just imagine what type of violence they undergo inside their homes. A friend of mine is a doctor and she married an Egyptian Muslim, a doctor as well. They divorced because he insisted it was his within his right to beat her. Another friend just couldn't stand the almost daily beating done by her Muslim husband, so she decided to flee together with her three children. She was assisted by her mother-in-law who herself was a victim of domestic violence by her own husband. I am not saying Muslim men are all wife-beaters. This type of people cuts across all cultures and traditions. What I cant understand is the pretension that wife beating is not done in Muslim countries by people who profess Islam. This is the height of ignorance, if not hypocricy.

Watching films from Iran, Iraq and Algeria, for one. Also via online secularist Iraqi friends I have made in the past few years.

An Iranian woman who lives in London posts questions regularly, and she is frequently threatened by Muslim men for showing her face in her photo. The Basiji are everywhere. The things they say to her are scary.

My friend Rusul, a medical student in Baghdad, says she was being whipped for her ankles showing while trying to attend class. Kurdish Peshmergas arrived and beat up the cowardly Shias who were harrassing her.

I don't watch television news.

definite, this is the elementary concept human beings think of contained in the west, why? this is the question now? because of the fact of religion, the wars the did have been cuz of religions. and how they made human beings contained in the west think of that way? using media you pronounced approximately. they very own the media. i undergo in ideas there grow to be a professor contained in the united statessaid that in case you examine the newspapers contained in the united statesyou'll hate islam. he grew to grow to be a muslim by potential of the way. now, after christians and jews conciliated each and every others and grew to grow to be contained in the comparable section after the statement of the Pope contained in the 60s they began working against islam and muslims, their professional agendas are against islam. Bush pronounced it contained in the conflict of Iraq. it quite is a Christian conflict, you seem on the words, Cristian conflict. they made christians hate us. knowingly we don't hate them and we adore them. although this is the fake impact of religion from their section. Hun! this is all approximately RReligion no longer Terrorists in Iraq, or corruptregime from Sadam or bin Ladin. why do no longer the idiots Arab human beings do the comparable or shelter that subject? because of the fact the presidents contained in the arab international are all brokers to the west, they enable what the west desires to get in and be viewd and stop what they do no longer desire. they do no longer care "arab presidents" approximately islam. they in recent times seek for for cecular states which do no longer concentration on faith.

I have not seen it - but I doubt that it occurs any more frequently than in other religions.
There is a bias in newsreporting which will allow a report of a muslim undertaking criminal or anti-social behaiour, but a white christian doing the same thing would not rate a mention.

in egypt I did spend time with a Muslim family the first time I met a new wife she had a black eye
I was told she fell down stairs talking to her alone she told me her husband punched her , possible causing her to fall down the stairs
she said he often punched her in the belly she had lost a baby I had been told previously she was respecting
she showed me cigarette burns on her arm and even a knife cut on her hand.
she was not allowed even to the door with out her face covered
she lived with his family and was not aloud to contact her own. even so she said he was a good Muslim. it makes you wonder what the expect. her husband had taken a bible I gave to his sister and so I was able to show her a few passages in it but if she could still believe he was a good Muslim it does not say much for the faith. her father was an imam.

A wayward and wilful woman will be injured in the same way she injures the sens eand sensibilty of he who stands closest to her. An effective marriage in akint to the relationship and understanding we have of God. It is a journey of reconciliation, understanding, listening and hearing...

Muslims, christians, jews and hindus who have nagging wives, who seek to dominate or demoralise, or let alone in peace, will turn to violence...a lack of communication, understanding, the absence of love and comfort...Women tend to be verbally viciously violent, cunning and manipulative, in far harsher ways, but this topic as most truths is evaded at all costs...

Mutual communication and understanding is the cure...
