On what basis does the author insert the word "lightly?" Is there a nuance of the Arabic language that's in there, or is he just making that up?

A rebellious woman who is not moved by kind works, persuasion and admonition is a woman of no feeling and must therefore be punished by beating. Exactly!! How could we have misinterpreted the Koran so badly!!

This would explain the utter failure of the arab race!
Personally, I think its only a matter of time before education and human rights puts an end to them. What smart woman would want to breed with them?

If beating disobedient wives was advocated by Western scientists, it would have been widely supported by the same people who criticize IslamThis guy never heard of Newton's 1st law of wife beating? This is a great illustration of how different is their "thought" process.

I find it unacceptable when some people twist the meaning of a particular verse in the Holy Quran Once again, Islam can never be understood, and our interpretations are always wrong.
To: edcoil
Yes, I completely agree with you. I was earlier suggesting it would be 'nice' if this was parody, that we'd all prefer that it was, but, sadly, it is not. I agree as to what you write about Islam, also.

some people twist the meaning of a particular verse in the Holy Quran[4.34] Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.
Not much twisting is needed.

As a rule of thumb beating up on someone who you may be counting on to resist the temptation to poison your food or cut your throat in your sleep doesn't seem to be a wise policy.

Methinks ol' Mohammed was beating himself too much.

I find it unacceptable when some people twist the meaning of a particular verse in the Holy Quran especially the one which permits a husband to beat his disobedient wife. Those who do the twisting must understand that the permission is only given under certain circumstances OK Then glad that we cleared that up./sarcasm

I have never found a good way to refrain from conjugal relations with my wife without punishing myself at the same time (meanwhile, that sounds like it plays right into my wife's hands). I think there was an Everybody Loves Raymond episode on this.

I thank God we live in an information age where such barbaric practices can be brought into the full light of day and show just how big a sham the religion of islam really is.

My infidel friend, may you soon see the Light which Allah has sent his Prophet Mohammed, May Peace be Upon Him, to switch on in your dhimmi brain.
Holy Q'uran has many purposes here. Yes, discipline is involved. But so, my Crusader friend, so is the Physical Fitness demanded of a Holy Warrior, Allah be Praised.
Had you studied Holy Q'uran and that great Arab Invention, Algebra, this logic would be clear to you, Zionist Usurper of the Holy Places. Allah allows Holy Warriors and Jihadists 4 wives to serve him in this life and to prepare him to be served by the 72 virgins written of elsewhere.
Each wife must be treated equally.
If a Jihadist beats one wife, he must beat them all.
Just catching them to administer the Will of Allah is good for the wind and strengthens the legs, the better to catch you, convert you, enslave you, collect the dhimmi tax, or if you resist ...you know the rest. Alhumdoolillah.

I'd love to see what one of these slimy towel-heads does when one of these wives hits back, cuts off his 72-virgin-finder and throws it into a corn field....
