My point being we live and we learn Islam does not, it is the most archaic form of religious lunacy in the world to date. What is daft is your assumption that Christians go around beating there wives with gay abandon. This is simply made up rubbish in support of your, I have to say, warped religious ideology. Your posts actually sound like you are trying to deflect away from the barbarity of the article by saying "well it's not just Muslims". YES IT IS, in this day and age IT ABSOLUTELY IS JUST MUSLIMS THAT, (and here's the key bit ..try to follow). CONDONE VIOLENCE TOWARDS WOMEN. Domestic abuse, whether it be mental or physical is a crime in this country, and you can be arrested, tried and punished for it, please explain why a certain nut job religion should be exempt from the laws of the united Kingdom? I await your enlightened reply with baited breath. This bit is key for me. Laws are laws and people should expect to abide by them wherever they are in the world. No exemption should be made in a country's laws because of any cultural difference. To have exceptions in the laws to pander to cultural differences is a form of discrimination, albeit a form of discrimination some people feel is acceptable in a naive quest to appear progressive. I am not suggesting for one second that all followers of XYZ religion are incapable of following the laws though. Of course not. I'm also not suggesting that followers of other religions are perfect or compliant either in this country or in another one.

Mind you, the odd slap of a wife pales in comparison to what a lot (of various 'religions') do to their young girls through FGM, including the vast numbers that are taken back to their 'home' countries in the summer holidays - and so far, despite changes in the law, no one has actually been prosecuted for this!

The internet has plenty of examples of people who would use Ephesians 5:22 as justification for beating their wives. Catholicism has gone to great lengths to explicitly reject this as justification. Whilst of course a lot of domestic violence would go unreported - and of course you could just confess and receive your penance. One could argue that the confession of domestic violence will not lead to the priest reporting it because of the sanctity of the confessional. So its a case that Catholicism would turn a 'blind eye 'to domestic violence. Its quite common apparently among Mormons in the US as well. The big difference and this is the key most important difference, is that religious law isn't the final word. It remains a crime, and illegal, because the separation of law from religious hokus pokus nonsense.

Quite right too, people's beliefs can never be utilised as a means for justification of their actions against another, unless they can demonstrate they served the greater good (such as self defence or preventing the commission of a greater crime). And that's a major issue for Islam is the lack of a secular counter-balance. The rise of Islamists, has led to an increasingly oppressive form of Islam, because there is no 'appeal' against the truth of gods word. Its why its vital to completely separate religion from political influence and especially legal influence, as it serves to protect the greater good of society from the abuse of religion in order to oppress and control others.

Quite true, the importance though isn't Christianity, its the separation of religion from the influence of state and law. Domestic violence was largely accepted in the UK, provided you didn't go 'too far' until fairly recently. The truth of course is that there is no justification for the use of violence, other than self defence. Doesn't matter how you dress it up, if you're commiting ANY act of violence, that is non-consensual -Your to blame. People just like to find reasons why its ok to be a c**t. Religion is a popular one. In no way should Islam or any religion, be used to promote the oppression of people, especially non-believers.

Originally posted by Michaelawt85 Shame they don't have scrotum ironing , get rid of the creases I saw a guy on the internet once who had had his scrotum injected with something. Filled it up and ironed out the wrinkles. It doesn't last though. I think it's similar to bodybuilders using Synthol to make their biceps bigger.
