Former Egyptian Mufti - Islamic policy on Wife Beating

[AntitheistPOV]

"This only pertains to rebellious woman who don't do what they're told . . . to bring them back to their senses".

The inherent violence is obvious. It doesn't even occur to either of them to question whether a woman might exist for some reason other than to obey a man, or whether physical abuse is moral. It says it's OK in a book, so it must be, right?

All the while claiming to be a religion of peace and equality and completely oblivious to the hypocrisy.

[manmachine30]

knowing that Woman gives birth to humans, man is just a tool of baby making, but if you have sex inside marriage with love and kindness, that is rewarded with blessing. But if you "mediocre husband" force the wife to have sex cuz you have man "needs" that puts you on rape category. 

[TheTaberLion]

So the creed of typical evil muslim is : The protector (husband) can BEAT the weaker of the two (wife, wives) he is to be protecting.

Also "if they're old enough to bleed, they're old enough to breed".

So for typical evil muslim from Satan's filthy quran claims typical evil muslim men should treated the bad wife, wives like she's a stubborn farm animal.

[cairo4448]

Dumb thing to say he needs to think it over.The beatings would eventually lead to divorce anyway and destruction of the family as he put it so what's the point? If a husband has to resort to hitting his wife than maybe they weren't supposed to be together in the first place.A man can't put hands on a woman that is a very cowardly thing to do.Does that make you feel more manly? Controlling or hurting someone that is obviously weaker.

I'm a white, Catholic American. I am fascinated with the middle east. My aunt is currently living in Dubai and I'm taking Arabic language @my highschool. Here we have two views on Muslims in the middle east. 1: They're all extremists out to kill us. 2: They're all peaceful, misunderstood people who are just trying to make the world a better place. ( kind of ironic considering Sep.'01)

[cairo4448]

you know what after a lot of thinking I don't have a problem with burkas because the burka protects you from being stared at and looked at in a wrong way or in a jealous way by other females.I think americans especially white ppl seem to only care about the outer appearances and most lack in inner beauty this is becoming worse & worse.But I don't agree with wife beating what happens if the husband is wrong? But I guess there's no such thing in islam the husband can never be wrong,right?

[jfhuejfoghdoeji]

If you believe that Islam is a religion that oppresses women, why do more and more women convert to Islam, most of all the people who convert to Islam are women than men, why do you think of the woman will "throw away" their freedom and became muslims. I have the answer, because Islam is the right religion in all ways. thank God i am muslim

[SFCBenny57]

These Islamic countries that think it's okay to beat women also think it's opk to rape children and animals.

[lachimere1]

I bought a Quran in 2007 during a trip in Tunisia. I read many verses and could not find a single thing like woman beating or anything violent... No, it's just a joke, my quran is full of verses about how to keep your woman into the house until she dies and how to stab the people in the back if they don't think like you. It's a french translation by one of the best arabic translators about religion. This book is shit and I show it often to friends that come at home and we have a good laugh.

[LogInForPaper]

I think it's absolutely disgraceful that the question  "Is it right or wrong to beat your wife" is still being debated. Wife beating is cowardly and wrong, as it always was.

[KentaPenta64]

Barbaric.

I should like to see someone in Swedish television advising on wife beating. That would be a sight!

No, I surely wouldn't. I am happy to live in a CIVILISED country!

[MsRosie00x]

it's fairly obvious you've cut parts out of this video, towards the end he's talking about a woman coming back to her senses if you dont sleep with her when she wants to. you've cut it! and you call yourself TruthChannel. lol.

[Consoleposterboy]

Watch Sheikh Hamza Yusuf's lecture here in youtube about domestic violence. He is a true muslim - one the condemns this violence against women.

[mikkitiny]

so, in fact, wife beating is allowed in islam.

[truthchannel]

well if you create guidelines around how to do something "properly" then you can assume the general behavior is sanctioned yes. it also has guides on even more unsavory things like , beastiality (im not kidding) , execution and subjugation of other people (unbelievers like us) and more. Wow it would be funny if whole masses of the population were not taking it all seriously. I'm waiting for any Muslim (even on the internet where we have real anonimity) to come out and be open about any of this.

[mikkitiny]

lol. you better expect some to come and try either justify or diminish the fact. though some real real fundamentalist could be open and could defend the beating openly. but he will not speak to us, i guess.

[ChuckyHammer]

Unbelievable, islame will bring us back into the dark ages if it could!

[FeldwebelWolfenstool]

Germs spread every day, too.

[Mc4zVibe]

WHO IS ALLAH???

"Paradise is an abode where there are 80,000 servants and seventy-two wives, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine, and ruby as wide as the distance from Al-Jabiyyah [a Damascus suburb] to Sana'a [Yemen]."

Muslim theologians such as al Ghazali (died 1111 - 935 C.E) and AlAsh'ari have "admitted sensual pleasures into Islamic Paradise." The sensual pleasures are graphically elaborated by Al-Suytti (died 1505 C.E.), Qur'anic commentator and polymath.

[Mc4zVibe]

Cont..

Muslim Theologian Al-Suytti, Wrote:

Each time we sleep with a houri we find her virgin. Besides, the penis of the Elected never softens. The erection is eternal; The sensation that you feel each time you make love is utterly delicious and out of this world and were you to experience it in this world you would faint. Each chosen one [i.e., Muslim] will marry seventy [sic] houris, besides the women he married on earth, and all will have appetizing vaginas."

BEST OF GOD = XXX = LOL!

[ezekieloak]

Islam is not a religion. It is a political policy. Always has been. It is predicated upon faith but actually enslaves, kills and subjugates to meet its end. And then end goal is draping and raping women. All of them. Read it for yourself at your local library that islamists would like to see obliterated.

[Gringoman911]

When your hit, Your extinctive response from your brain is fight or flight,You'd think the creator of the universe would know that?

Whats gonna happen is the women will hit back, If she does that will escalate the situation to something more serious and dangerous.

[Gringoman911]

Its a never acceptable to solve your marital problems through violence, I would hear for my minister that beating your wife was equal to punching your own face.

[Gringoman911]

Love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it . . . So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church" (Ephesians 5:25, 28-29)

[Zeek19]

And the prophet says its definitely unacceptable to whack ur wife but as a last form of way to save ur marriage, after (1)advising and (2)not sharing the beds is a (3)tap,not whack,never on the face.These 3 are ways for partners to remind one another from doin bad things for '..women shall have rights similiar against them...'(2:228)but man r given e responsibility to carry 'em out. Man and women who injure one another will definitely be punished in the shari'ah law. Thats fact.

[Zeek19]

Im not talking about the video but i was referring to the comments given to this video. Nothing against u putting up this video..

[Zeek19]

Just thought of letting u guys know what the quran and hadiths allows and doesnt allow but if u guys still insist in putting black sheeps as example of how its like, then ''to you, your beliefs, to me, my own.''just dont spread wrong infos cus it'll only lead to hatred..we all dont want tt..thanks.

[truthchannel]

Dude this is a mainstream Arab television program. Don't even try to feed us this crap about how we have wrong information. Sure there are always exceptions but do you really think things are equal in the world of Islam between men and women? Come on. Yeah things can be fucked up in the west too (its not a competition) but we have laws against violence, not condoning it. We certainly don't have conversations about when its acceptable to beat your wife!

[dinavienna]

@truthchannel true - to say when it is allowed (and be the conditions as strict as you wish) means to actually promote and allow it as a whole. violence in the family, especially against physically weaker or financially dependent ones, is one of the most evil things in the world and it must be banned no ifs and buts, only that is justice for the weaker one

[dinavienna]

@Zeek19 i can see your point in many inciting websites who hate the Islamic religion deeply (and at the same time often promote other religions, which all of their own issues too). but this is egyptian tv, and the former president of AL-AZHAR. I'm sure you know contemporarily al azhar is considered the centre of Sunni Islam like Rome is for catholics.

[Zeek19]

and please,In Islam,the sayings of the prophet(hadith) must always follow together with the quran. Its an explanation.Its not allowed to follow just e quran n leave out the hadith n the quran says tt. Clearly e prophet demonstrated the light tap of the toothpick on himself as the hardest u can go and hence the '(lightly)'explanation in e quran; to remind what the hadith explained.

[Zeek19]

Islam allows the women to do the exact same thing(advice and beat lightly) IF the husband is not a responsible person (in order to save the marriage).Its just that its not her responsibilty to do so thats all.that doesnt mean she cant do the same.and if need be, she can even divorce him becus of this reason.

[Zeek19]

According to KCSDV statistics,''Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women between the ages of 15 n 44 in the U.S.'' Dont tell me that most of the domestic violence were done by the minority 7 millions muslims compared to 300 million others.

[carosinsoles]

And what if my husband doesnt fulfill his duties as a husband. Shouldnt there be rules also for men who dont live up to the standards?????

[deaschowieda]

it's men like that who make religion a hate cage and their stupid ways of justifications are a downward spiral.

[steroidai]

Damn u, shitface!

YOUR kids, YOUR wife, YOUR car and other possessions. U R NOT A SUPERIOR BEING! Women and men r equal. To all scumbags who still believe that woman was made from a rib to serve a man please use your bloody brain!!! There shouldnt even be discussions about 'how to teach your wife of proper behavior'. U dude with a rag on your head surely will go to HELL

[Ardakapalasan]

gut-wrenching.

[agussiregar]

And then we think this mentality can intergrate in our democratic culture of equality...These poor people are part of a violent mysogyne sect...very very discusting!((((( some idiot..1 in 4 women are abused in america..DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OCCUR EVERY 15 SECONDS IN AMERICA so much for equality !!!!))

[agussiregar]

It doesn't happen very often, but you occasionally hear about an Arab-American father who shoots his daughter or other family member for disgracing the family. By and large, however, incidence of wife and child abuse are very low for this population, much lower than whites. Some Arab nations have very punitive punishments

[clauhouda]

If God had said these words, then God is not perfect...He does not remember what he had said in his other books...But then again, only in the coran does he change his mind on important issues constantly...Always weirdly enough in mohamad's advantage...Hum...strange really...

[clauhouda]

And then we think this mentality can intergrate in our democratic culture of equality...These poor people are part of a violent mysogyne sect...very very discusting!

[curiousthinker]

i like when he says " A woman's weapon is the ability to seduce her husband" WTF- thats mans weapon too!!..he needs to be able to please his partner!!..WEIRRRRRD

[truthchannel]

Definitely Weird. It makes sense within the overall context of Islam and the example of Muhammad. I imagine the fear is that the woman will soften their resolve for Jihad and "infect" them with the potential for kindness and compassion. Thats why its a freakish achievement of sorts that women send their own sons on suicide bombings. Sad. Thank you for your comments.

[Boucrate]

WTF! So my father din't beat my nother; he was just punching her? Some people just can't understand Human Love. Yea Love and respect. Human are Human and Human are female and male beholding that consciousness.

Thank for posting even if i have problem digesting my meal!.. lol!

[samten54]

That is wicked. It is just assumed that the man can decide his wife needs beating. If she doesn't agree with something the husband says and the husband has those rights. It is true when they say... Islam is a cult of death, a cage for women and a curse on knowledge.

[Omdaea]

Yes, your evidence speak for itself. If we assumed that there is a crime and this is an evidence. We are proud of our Holy book policy and nothing in it to hide.
