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!

Rambam (Ishut 21:10):

Any wife who refrains from doing a labor among the labors that she is required to do, they force her ("kofin otah") and she does it, even with a whip.

So you say. You've adduced no sources.

After all in Ashkenaz, poligamy was forbidden which is allowed by the Tanakh...

Not everything permitted to the patriarchs in the TaNaKh is permitted to others. Would Jews of this generation be allowed to set up altars at Beth-El instead of the Temple Mount? Of course not. The Oral Torah is the authoritative interpretation of TaNaKh in Judaism, not Pitiricus.

This is part of the Oral law and the making of Torah by the ravbbis...

If you think rabbonim made the Torah instead of Hashem, I'm not sure if you're clear on what Judaism is.

The fact that you are ignorant of the real facts don't make them not true...

If they were facts, you could source them. Here's a real fact: the Shulchan Arukh, the gold standard in Sephardic halakhah, does not allow for wifebeating.

Until you can find a passage in the Shulchan which blesses wifebeating, Koran-style, we're left with just your unreliable assertions.

The fact that your hatred of Islam blinds you isn't my fault at all, only yours!

My distaste for this Satanic death cult is hardly blind. I witnessed 9/11 in person with my own eyes. I have seen Islam in all its "glory" with my eyes wide open.
