Pakistani men can beat wives 'lightly,' Islamic council says
cnn ^ | 05/28/2016

In the 75-page proposal, Mohammad Khan Sheerani suggests a light beating is acceptable should the need arise to punish a woman. The proposal bans forceful beating, saying only a small stick is necessary to instill fear.

...

Its proposed bill is seen as a response to the rejected Punjab Women Protection bill for abused women. The council shunned it as "un-Islamic" and wrote its own bill, which includes the recommendation for the light beating.

"A husband should be allowed to lightly beat his wife if she defies his commands and refuses to dress up as per his desires; turns down demand of intercourse without any religious excuse or does not take bath after intercourse or menstrual periods,"

The proposal also calls for a beating if a woman does not wear a hijab, if she interacts with strangers, speaks too loudly or gives others cash without her husband's permission...

But it allows women to participate in politics and become judges, and proposes that the need for a guardian for women of age is not required.

Can you believe we are having this discussion in the 21st Century? There used to be similar rules about how to ‘properly beat your slave’, fully sanctioned by the government.

And then take the “small stick” and jam it into the husband’s ear until it comes out the other side.

When a woman puts on a hijab, she has volunteered to be a slave.

Does this mean all the female Hollywood celebrities who fell for the death cult gibberish to don a hijab to be chic can now be beaten legally in the eyes of their religion? There is a God!

So I guess Madonna and Janet Jackson will submit to their lashings willingly? Yeah I’d like to see that...

Trump should make a list of these barbaric Islamic practices, then read it the next time he’s accused of being an Islamophobe.

Reminds me of the whipping by “Little Bill” on the black guy in “Unforgiven”.

“And I won’t be gentle like before.”

Libs best new friends. The moderate Muslim.

See how much progress we’ve made in the Islamic world by electing our very own Muslim president.

An excuse to call the vile an act of holiness.

I think it’s too much to think that they world could wipe out these cretins, but we should start a worldwide process whereby we castrate all the men so they cannot reproduce!
