You won't find much support in the Christian community for wife-beating. It happens, but it's not given sanction by any Christian Church that I know of. Now tell me the same is true of mosques, and islam.I'm sure the women being beaten by Christian men take comfort in that. "Hey, this doesn't hurt so bad, because the church doesn't approve!"
The distinction is a small one when we get down to the individual cases like this one.
People around here mention that Islam means "submission," yet seem to forget that the Bible says wives should be "submissive" to their husbands.

There is no moral equivilence between Christianity and Islam whatsoever. The Christian community has long since ignored the old testament silliness.

'yet seem to forget that the Bible says wives should be "submissive" to their husbands' The Bible says no such thing as you've written...but, then I looked at your tagline and realized you'd never understand the truth of Scriptures anyway.

You are trying too hard to excuse bad behavior. Islam does not frown on wife-beating. Christianity does frown on wife-beating.
That's all you need to know.
