Islam: how to Beat Your Wife

As we can see in that nice interview with the man of god, the rules of beating your wife are very clear. And straightforward :) Another peaceful religion...

Christianity actually also was not much better, and it is becoming a little bit better in the "Western" countries only last several decades actually...


Just as slaves were to obey their masters, women were to obey their husbands. "Wives," said Paul, "be subject to your husbands as is fitting in the Lord." (Ephesians 5:22) To the apostle Timothy, Paul wrote: "I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet." (Timothy 2:12)

During Paul's time, some Christians argued that Jesus advocated celibacy. Why else, they asked, would Jesus have praised women whose wombs never bore or praised men who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven? Paul and his colleagues opposed self-castration. But, believing that Jesus was coming soon, Paul did advocate celibacy for some Christians. To his brothers in Corinth he wrote, "The time has been shortened, so that from now on those who have wives live as they had none." (1 Corinthians 7:29). He also promoted sex in marriage -- in order to avoid the sexual frustration that he thought might lead to Satan's temptations. He warned married Christians to stop depriving each other: "The wife," he wrote, "does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise, the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does." (1 Corinthians 7:4)
