#1 "It is not right to issue a fatwa based on texts written over one thousand years ago without taking into account today's reality."

But, but, but, but those texts are the direct words of GOD (aka ALLAN)!

Doesn't this make the person stating this an apostate that should be stoned to death????????

#2 Oh, and one other thing.....

The second punishment (the one before beating them) is to withhold sex from them.

Ummmm, what if the command the woman is disobeying is the one to have sex?

"Wench, if you don't have sex with me, I'll not have sex with you!!!" How long do the men have to keep up the withhholding? (as long as the goat holds out?)

I'm confused.

#3 Makarem Shirazi advised his readers against "physical punishment which leaves signs and wounds."

Yeah. No evidence. Smart move.
Not that anybody over there would do anything about it...

#4 The Living Koran. Oh man, wouldn't that be sweet? Sic a bunch of leftist lawyers on 'em until the Koran reads like Das Kapital. And then we can kill em all, cuz killing commies isn't racist.

Sigh. A girl can dream.

#6 Makarem Shirazi advised his readers against "physical punishment which leaves signs and wounds."....But that is what "bare meat" deserves if they won't wear the hijab to cover them.

#7 Islam is just another way of saying "Abject Gender Apartheid". It no longer has any relevance in this modern world and the sooner it is dismantled, the quicker that a vast majority of Middle Eastern women will no longer be criminally abused. We need to airdrop millions of Loreena Bobbit lecture pamphlets with accompanying disgrams.

#10 (old joke, rewritten)

The judge says to the Imam defendant, "You're charged with beating your wife to death with a hammer."

A voice at the back of the courtroom yells out, "You bastard!"

The judge says, "You're also charged with beating your mother-in-law to death with a hammer."

The voice in the back of the courtroom yells out, "You pork-eating bastard!"

The judge says, "You're also charged with beating your daughters to death with a hammer."

The voice in the back of the courtroom yells out, "You rotten, filthy, Zionist bastard!"

The judge stops, and says to the guy in the back of the courtroom, "Sir, I can understand your anger and frustration at this crime. But no more outbursts from you, or I'll charge you with contempt!"

The guy in the back of the court stands up and says, "For fifteen years, I've lived next door to that son-of-a-bitch, and every time I asked to borrow a hammer to kill the women in my house, he said he didn't have one."

#11 Lol - I love the subtle manner in which the reader deduces the fact that the upset neighbor is, also, a devotee of the RoP...
