When dealing with a "disobedient wife," a Muslim man has a number of options. First, he should remind her of "the importance of following the instructions of the husband in Islam." If that doesn't work, he can "leave the wife's bed." Finally, he may "beat" her, though it must be without "hurting, breaking a bone, leaving blue or black marks on the body and avoiding hitting the face, at any cost."

Is it not AMAZING that US feminists are unnaturally quiet about all of this?
Afraid they might find themselves on the same side as Bush?

""I'm married to a woman from Texas," he said. "Do you know what she would do to me?""

Great line at the end of the article LOL!
when I asked Estes if he had ever rolled up a newspaper to give his own wife a crack, he responded without hesitation.
"I'm married to a woman from Texas," he said. "Do you know what she would do to me?"

I'm also happily on the same side as Bush.
Sometimes, a narrow brush works best :)

Islam is the religion for people who are too stupid to enjoy life and too hateful to love God.

"hurting, breaking a bone, leaving blue or black marks on the body and avoiding hitting the face, at any cost." those loose head to toe robes with face masks can cover a multitude of bruises - even broken bones...who would know.
