Husband beats wife to death for defying 'orders'

By Samir Salama, Bureau Chief

Abu Dhabi:

A man beat his wife to death because he says she "disobeyed his orders and looked out of the balcony", a police source said.

The incident occurred at midnight on Friday. The Syrian man has been arrested and charged with the 20-year-old woman's murder.

The man, a hairdresser, was returning home from his shop at around 10.30pm, when he saw his second wife, also Syrian, looking out of the balcony of his flat on the first floor.

He got angry, rushed to his flat and started beating her all over her body.

The woman's screams forced his first wife who lives in the same flat, out of bed and she tried to stop him. However, he overpowered her and continued beating his second wife up for half an hour until she fainted.

The 30-year-old man called an ambulance but paramedics found his wife dead.

The accused told police he had not meant to kill her.

"I just wanted to discipline her after she disobeyed my orders. She died while I was hitting her for daring to look out of the balcony," he is said to have told interrogators.

"I used to beat my wives but I never thought that beating would kill any of them. It was just my way of disciplining them," he said.

His first wife told police she had tried hard to stop him but he had beaten her and pushed her away.

"He continued to beat her for almost half an hour before she died," she said.

The accused has been referred to the prosecution on charges of beating his wife to death.

Maybe the problem is that not all Middle-Eastern men beat their wives to death. If this were the case, winning the war on terror would only require us to wait a generation.

It didn't work in West Virginia.

"This is sick. "

I stumbled across this story indirectly from a link off of NH thread #10 and was struck in the contrast of families.

It would only work if Middle Eastern women reversed the tables and were permitted to beat men to death or near death with increasing frequency, then we would just make sure all terrorists are married.

God have mercy on the man who raises his hand to me. He would get his on the spot or by God he would never be able to sleep again.

And if there were a REAL man nearby, you might have to wait in line before you got your shot in.

Sharia supercedes civil law in most of these sick countries. Thus the state through it's absence to prosecute in effect sanctions the exercise. Look at Iran or Pakistan, Saudi Arabia or the Sudan, Nigeria, Oman, UAE, Iran, Afghanistan, Yemen and on and on and on....

Word I get is that the deceased was banging the Mullah at the local mosque and at least two of the staff at the same mosque. She caught something from one of them and the hairdresser had, unknowingly, passed it on to a young man of his acquaintance. The wife was actually signaling the Mullah that the hairdresser knew and was pissed, when he came through the front door.The Mullah will absolve the hairdresser and find a new "student" for special education.

Maybe he had a bad day? Just think about it. The guy has to sniff other mens butts 5 times a day. And on top of that he's a hairdresser.

What's a guy to do in such a situation? If he's pissed off he can: 1) Go to iraq and try to kill Americans but they shoot back; 2) Go blow himself up but that would ruin his hair; 3)Beat a wife to death. So, he picks number three. And wouldn't you? I mean really, it's only a wife and he can always get more. Besides, it's not like she's going to hit back or the other wife is going to hit him with a frying pan. They'd have to die under Moslem law.

Note to self: Never attempt to shake Virginia Queen's hand, or point to her hair and say "I like that color".

I don't know about "Hairdresser" but being a barber is a big deal in the middle east.

Many times they may look like they have been drug through a sewer pipe but their hair always is neatly groomed.

This story and many others make one thing so very clear: These Muslims are such sane and rational people. In no way are they nutty as a bunch of hoot owls. Their rich culture and history deserve our respect. Attending ass sniffing sessions five times a day while facing Mecca has done them no harm at all.

Coulda happened to anybody.

When a child is born into a Muslim family, he/she is Muslim for life, and there is no way out but death. If one has only a Muslim father, he/she is a Muslim for life, and to deny that Mohammed is a messenger of god, the penalty is death for blasphemy. With each Muslim considering himself to be judge and jury, life can be really hard.

I have much compassion for those who do not want to be Muslim, but are given no choice but death. May God have mercy on them.

Islam is cruel beyond belief. It does not allow for freedom of choice in religion.
