Quote by: phoenix_fire  That last bit is really the crux of the situation, though. The laws you cite really aren't practiced. But beating your wife is very common in the Muslim community. We look at laws like that and think they are silly. Muslim men look at the beating of their wives as not only a right but an allah-ordained obligation. |
You only think it's common because of what you hear, much like how everybody still thinks seal hunters still hunt white coats.
What about the vast ammount of Christian families which have some parents who beat not only each other but the kids as well?
And don't tell me that's uncommon, because I know better.
