Clothes Aren't the Issue
The Washington Post ^ | October 22, 2006 | Asra Q. Nomani

When dealing with a "disobedient wife," a Muslim man has a number of options. First, he should remind her of "the importance of following the instructions of the husband in Islam." If that doesn't work, he can "leave the wife's bed." Finally, he may "beat" her, though it must be without "hurting, breaking a bone, leaving blue or black marks on the body and avoiding hitting the face, at any cost."

The folks at the Washington Post clearly didn't intend to run this great guest editorial the same day as thedecided to run the absolutely nutty 'How I Came To Love The Veil."

Is it not AMAZING that US feminists are unnaturally quiet about all of this?

Afraid they might find themselves on the same side as Bush?

""I'm married to a woman from Texas," he said. "Do you know what she would do to me?""


The answer to the problem.

Great line at the end of the article LOL!

when I asked Estes if he had ever rolled up a newspaper to give his own wife a crack, he responded without hesitation.

"I'm married to a woman from Texas," he said. "Do you know what she would do to me?"

I'm an American feminist and I've yet to have an "unnaturally quiet" moment about the pathological misogyny upon which islam is based. I'm also happily on the same side as Bush.

Sometimes, a narrow brush works best :)

Islam is the religion for people who are too stupid to enjoy life and too hateful to love God.
