You really are very ignorant!

You are actually hilarious.

(1) You post a completely unattributed quote from an undisclosed source as some kind of authority.

(2) The Sephardim adhere to the Shulchan Arukh which does not permit wifebeating.

(3) Your source says, interestingly, that the Jewish aversion to wifebeating in Europe derives from the more enlightened attitude of surrounding Christians while the alleged Jewish permissiveness toward wifebeating in the Near East derives from the primitive attitudes of Muslims. That kind of contradicts your usual line on the relative superiority of the three religions.

(4) You amusingly refer to the frum ruling allowing the divorce of a barren wife in your earlier post as an example of the allegedly abusive attitude of the frum, even though you condemned the traditional Christian ban on divorce as a recipe for unhappiness.

You have an uncanny knack for being wrong about everything.

The rabbis of Morocco, Algeria etc. did condone wife beating... After all in Ashkenaz, poligamy was forbidden which is allowed by the Tanakh... This is part of the Oral law and the making of Torah by the ravbbis...

The fact that you are ignorant of the real facts don't make them not true... The fact that your hatred of Islam blinds you isn't my fault at all, only yours!
