A Muslim educator has argued only Islamic scholars should interpret the Quran after a video surfaced of Islamic women condoning domestic violence.
The video showed female members of the hardline political group Hizb ut-Tahrir describe beating women as a 'beautiful blessing' in a discussion in Sydney's west.
At one point, the headscarf-clad pair even demonstrated how to use a small stick called a 'sivaak' to hit 'disobedient' women.
The women, Reem Allouche and Atika Latifi, claimed to be quoting the Quran verse about wives that reads: 'leave them alone in sleeping places and beat them'.
But another Sydney Muslim, Silma Ihram, said the passage was taken out of context and it shows that reading the Quran should be left to experts, reports Sky News.

Let me guess.... you’re one of these “nice guys”?
I'm not saying this to get Islam as such off the hook: almost 1400 years of Sharia jurisprudence support woman-beating, to this very day. I'm just saying there's a lot of cultural latitude.
I think a so-called moderate muslim would say, most muslims don’t beat their wives everyday.
An Islamic scholar wrote The Reliance of the Traveler. It has the imprimatur of Al Azhir University. I use it to prove arguments.
Not only that(different versions) but different scholars within the unholy Koran. BTW, how many sects of islam are there... at least 72(+1)?
