Video: Saudi Cleric Explains Proper Islamic Wife Beating to Teens
This video was just so bizarre to watch. It was disconcerting to see the spokespeson so casual in his manner discussing this. His male audience were sitting there listening to him as if this was perfectly natural. A excerpt follows. See the video. Hat Tip to LGF & MEMRI TV. It made me wonder how many Muslims in the West subcribe to this behavior and find this normal.In a Ramadan television show for young Muslims, Saudi cleric Muhammad Al-Arifi explains the proper way to beat ones wife. Muhammad Al-Arifi: Men beat women more often than women beat men. I said that some women beat their husbands because this happens, but it is rare, and there is no need to hold conferences on wives who beat their husbands. I believe this is less prevalent, because by nature, the body of the man... In most cases, Allah made the body of men stronger than the body of women. Therefore, you and your sister... You may be taller than your mother, right? If your mother is ill, you may be able to carry her, but she cannot carry you. Allah created women with these delicate, fragile, supple, and soft bodies, because they use their emotions more than they use their bodies. Therefore, while the man may use beating to discipline his wife, she sometimes uses her tears to discipline him. He gets what he wants by screaming, while she gets what she wants from him by crying and displaying emotions. For men, womens emotions may be fiercer than the strike of a sword. First, admonish them once, twice, three times, four times, ten times. If this doesnt help, refuse to share their beds. In such a case, the husband does not sleep with his wife, or, in other words, he is angry with her. He gives her the silent treatment, refusing to talk to her. If he comes to eat, and she asks him: How are you? he doesnt answer. If she asks him: Do you want anything? he doesnt answer. He distances himself from her in bed and in conversation, he does not sleep with her, but goes to sleep in another room. He shows her that he is angry with her. If this does not help if the admonishing did no good, and when he goes to sleep in another room, she says: Thank God, hes gone. Now Ive got the whole bed to myself, I will sleep alone in bed and roll over at night as much as I like. If neither method worked with her, what is the third option? Posted by: Delphi 2007-11-03 |
