Yes, I know.

I posted that rhetorical question to Pitiricus who was telling me on another thread that Muslim and Jewish teaching is 90% identical.

"So, for example, while biblical, talmudic, and Muslim law all allow a man to marry more than one woman, Christian law does not, and so Ashkenazic Jewish men and women, who lived predominantly among Christians, were enjoined by Rabbeinu Gershom from polygyny while Sephardic Jews, who continued to live among Muslims, were not restricted in that way. Similarly, Sephardic rabbis, living among Muslims who permitted and even encouraged husbands to beat their wives, generally allowed Jewish husbands to do so as well, while Ashkenazic rabbis, especially those in Germany who were influenced by both Christian and Jewish pietism, resoundingly condemn wife-beating"

The sephardic tradition does condone wife-beating... Funny you didn't know that!

You really are very ignorant!
