Monday, May 14, 2007 MEMRITV": Saudi Family Expert Explains Wife Beating in Islam
*Clip # 1447 - Saudi Expert on Family Affairs Dr. Ghazi Al-Shimari Explains Wife Beating in Islam and States: If a Wife Licks Pus and Blood Coming Out of Her Husband's Nose - She Still Would Not Have Observed All His Rights The following are excerpts from an interview with Dr. Ghazi Al-Shimari, a Saudi expert on family affairs, which aired on Iqra TV on May 9, 2007.
Ghazi Al-Shimari: Yes. According to a hadith, Umm Zar' said to 'Aisha: "My husband is the epitome of stupidity and impotence. He is afflicted with every possible defect. Either he wounds me, or breaks my bones, or both." This poor woman said that her husband was a stupid idiot, and that on top of that, he didn't even know how to have sex. But "when he talks to me, he wounds me, breaks my [bones], or both."
Interviewer: Someone like that reads the verse as "bite them," instead of "admonish them."
Ghazi Al-Shimari: Nice. So when some people understood the beatings this way, the women of the Quraysh tribe went to the Prophet to complain. They said: "Oh, Prophet of Allah, the men have begun beating us." So the Prophet decided: "Don't beat the women who serve Allah." Then Omar came and said: "Oh Prophet of Allah, the women have become insolent. We cannot take it anymore. You said not to beat women who serve Allah, so what should we do with them?" So the Prophet approved [beatings], but said that those who beat "are not the best among you."
[...]
The Prophet said: "If I were to order anybody to bow before anyone, I would order the wife to bow before her husband." The husband's rights are very great. Therefore, according to a reliable Hadith, a woman said: "Oh Prophet of Allah, I will not marry before you tell me what my husband's rights from me are." The Prophet said: "Do you really want to know?" She said: "Yes." He said: "If pus or blood comes out of your husband's nose and you lick is up, you still will not have observed all his rights." The rights of the husband are great, and you must observe them.

The sports channels would dry up and blow away to at least the Gobi. TV would be on its head for a decade. Can you imagine the commercials?
These people are just sickening.
And they think they should rule the world?
That's what it's gonna take. Their goal is to eradicate humanity from the earth, aka satans ultimate goal.
The sentiment of world domination by a universally radicalized Islam is coming forth boldly out the closet now ,and must be confronted and defeated , or surrendered to .
I am afraid there is no middle way here .
Now can we make this a war of attrition and bomb them back to the Pleistocene Era?
At what point do we call this a more global form of national socialism and be done with it?
Sick, first thing in the morning.
Fishergirl, i divorce thee i divorce thee i divorce thee now that didn’t hurt did it. ?
Sounds more like livestock than pets ........... FRegards
I know, too sad, when there’s been hundreds of years of treating women that way. You’re right, if the husband wouldn’t kill her, her own relatives would.
This sickness called islam certainly appeals to the most debased and disturbed among humanity.
I am not amazed that so many decide to liberate themselves in Jesus Christ when they leave the islamic ghettoes of their native lands.
Ugh.
