“Husbands should be allowed to rape and beat their wives
You can’t make this stuff up. In fact, if you tried, you’d be thrown in jail. The screaming banshees of “enlightened feminism” have fits of apoplexy anytime someone even infers that abortion might not be the best/only choice. They scream about The Patriarchy™ and the male domination of women’s bodies in Judeo-Christian societies. Yet if a brown person says it’s ok to rape and beat your wives, the crickets chirp in the deafening silence from the women’s groups. After all, it’s his culture, and all foreign cultures are better than ours, so should therefore be universally respected.
A Muslim cleric has sparked outrage by telling his followers it is acceptable to rape and beat their wives.
Samir Abu Hamza, who runs an Islamic centre in Melbourne, ridiculed Australian laws banning forced sex within marriage.
Hamza told a male audience in Sydney: ‘Amazing, how can a person rape his wife?’
He added that wives must immediately respond to their husbands’ sexual demands.
The firebrand preacher also said a man was entitled to use ‘limited force’ as a last resort to punish a disobedient wife.
He explained: ‘After you have advised them for a long, long time, then you smack them, you beat them and - please brothers, calm down - the beating that the Muhammad showed is like the toothbrush that you use to brush your teeth.’
Ok everybody. Food fair is over. Time to send these people back to their caves.
Trouble is that you can’t bomb them back into the stoneage, they are already IN the stoneage.

The good thing about this particular instance is that the current affairs programs showed extended sections of this idiot’s lecture. Not just a phrase here and there. So the usual “taken out of context!” canard didn’t work. (Although they tried; they tried). A big audience saw behind the mask for perhaps the first time.

Big Al, you are so INcorrect about the Stone Age. They lost 40 folks to the Bubonic Plague, that is like the 1300s. Get your facts straight.
Don’t y’all know that women LIKE to be told what to do? They are little, soft women.
(Okay, I am joking, y’all.)

At least they’re not talking about sawing off a woman’s clitoris.
Oh, wait…

Is the choice really between dead babies or bruised wives? Are these the defining characteristics of our two cultures. because if they are, I’m not so sure which one god would look upon with less favour.

Sadly our socialist’s betters have decided other cultural practices are superior to ours thus wife beating, rape, Jew and Gay bashing are on the rise. The retards have negated women’s rights back twenty years as they rush to embrace “Other Cultures”. The same people who stood side by side with the Gay Community now stand beside the Political Islamist who’d excute the Gay Community once they make Sharia Law legal. I just don’t understand, the left needs a pet project at all times, embracing Poltical Islam and their medieval cultures is their latest cause.

I just wish the leftards oops that’s insulting I mean tard-degauche would take up a real cause like composting or toilet training their pets.

This should come as a surprise to no one. The problem is a confusion of premise. People mistakenly imagine that a marriage in Islam is anything like a marriage as we in the west know it. A Muslim marriage is much closer often to buying a goat. The women has no say in the matter and faces slaughter should she object in many cases. So of course advice on how to control your livestock is as we hear in that lecture. Islam is very good at using terms that make us imagine something safe and familiar to us when in reality its dark and horrifying. Anyone who has not done so, please consider reading Ayaan Hirsi Alli’s most excellent book, Infidel. It will clarify these terms for you nicely.

okay, first of all, real muslims don’t believe in this. this guy that said it’s okay to “rape and beat” your wife is obviously an extreme radicalist.
and in this day and age, muslims don’t beat their wives or rape them. at least in the US, where it’s ILLEGAL. just cuz this guy said that doesn’t mean it’s okay. so stop bashing on EVERY muslim out there.
