I didn't know John Kerry had a Muslim chaplain.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Some Muslim clerics deserve to be beaten. Then there are the problem cases, who deserve quite a bit worse.

[GoLightly]

When I see something like this, I'm reminded of a very old Eddy Murphy bit. Go to sleep baby.

[piasa]

The cleric should be careful. He's one slice away from being a woman.

[happydogdesign]

Hill sez,"Bring it on, punk!"

[clee1]

Yeah... Gotta beat 'em ever onst ta tha wile. Jist wen dey kneed hit, doh.

[patriciaruth]

So, now we know one of the prophets Christ was referring to when he said that false prophets will rise.

Clue, name begins with an M.

[Caipirabob]

A woman, a dog and an almond tree,

The more you beat them the better they be.

From Alex Baldwin's "Kim Bassinger Owner Manual" or a Pre-Civil War poem. It's one of those, I can't tell which.

Either way, such behavior is confined to primitives or has long passed as far as being acceptable.

If a woman is deserving of a beating, she's far more deserving of leaving. There are plenty of other women left waiting to emotionally abuse a man. Why be selfish, share yourself...

[Robert Drobot]

Is it true that NOW is going to start a UN protected coven in Saudi Arabia with Barbra Strisand lined up as a guest speaker, and Whitney Houston coming in to teach Muslim women all about The Ten Sefirot of the Kabbalah?

[Dallas59]

Why does Kerry allow this?

[stevem]

I've always been a little sceptical of this "wife-beating" thing. The bad part of it is I need to sleep from time to time. Besides, there are tried and true ways to handle the wife problem. It may be in some rare instances that that a wife needs to be spanked, but only if she's naughty. Then she should be told to don her spanking attire which should involve something shear and short.

On the other hand, it's commonly known that if wife-tickling is done on a regular basis, most of these other wife-problems will work out for themselves.

[mhking]

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[stevem]

'Eat' – 'I don't want to' – they beat her. So she became accustomed to beatings; she was brought up that way. We pray Allah will help her husband later. He will only get along with her (and she will only eat) if he practices wife beating.

Surely Allah knows there are some of the lasses that you have to slap around a bit...or, I suppose in a pinch you could ply 'em with chocolates.

[joesnuffy]

"You just cant beat a good Muslim wife"

-Proverb not in Koran

Beat your wife everyday ,even if you don't know the reason why... she does

-Arab Proverb

[stevem]

"[The Koran says:] 'and beat them.' This verse is of a wondrous nature. There are three types of women with whom a man cannot live unless he carries a rod on his shoulder. The first type is a girl who was brought up this way. Her parents ask her to go to school and she doesn't – they beat her. 'Eat' – 'I don't want to' – they beat her. So she became accustomed to beatings; she was brought up that way. We pray Allah will help her husband later. He will only get along with her if he practices wife beating.

I don't know if all this is really in the Koran. I suppose someday I might read it if I become really bored and can't sleep. If it is and I were an Imam and otherwise literate, it would embarrass me enough to white it out in all my copies of the Koran. Then I might try to highlight other passages. There must be some passages on torturing infidels or some such that could use a little more attention.

[BC girl]

Is this for real, I'm not accusing but how in the world could someone, anyone really think like that? What is wrong with people? A religion of Peace, total BS.

[mtbopfuyn]

And some clerics need to be beaten.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Muslim cleric's wives' reply, "Some husbands need to be muzzled."

"Now, shut up and take out the trash, you shiftless, worthless, no account deadbeat, hashish smoking loafer." his oldest wife explained.

"Don't be coming 'round here with hashish on your breath and lovin' on your mind!" one of his younger wives added.

[Straight Vermonter]

We shouldn't be ashamed before the nations of the world who are still in their days of ignorance

[Exeter]

This is only 2 types of wives. I wonder what the 3rd type of spouse who needs to be beaten is? Probably women who forget to feed the family camel...
