Muslim cleric: Some wives need to be beaten

TV sermon advises husbands of such women to carry rod on shoulder

Another example of what we face! Another reason to trust in the Bible and know it inside and out.

Just and FYI there are Christian sects that still advocate the rule of thumb. That is that you should beat your wife and children on a regular basis with a rod to keep the fear of god in them. Personally if I ever came across someone of this nature I would have trouble restraining myself.

I mention it simply to counter the notion that all Muslems believe the same thing. Just as there are numerous variations of Christianity there are numerous ways of being a Muslem.

I aggree that there are those who do what you pointed out. Nowhere that I know of in the bible does it advocate a husband beating a wife. Nowhere! Those that are christians are such because they follow the bible. Those that don't follow the bible could very well not be christians.

Do you know what the bible says about spanking in the bible?

Dear larryt,

This is just my opinion. You don't have to accept it if you dislike it. DISCLAIMER: I am not a christian.

Proverbs 13:24

He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

I think the bible condones and encourages the non-sparing of the rod for use with sons.

there is a difference in using a rod for correction and beatings which are abusive.

I have a boss that needs a good beating over the head with the rod of common sense.

Seriously this attitude is one that permeates not only the muslim religion, but as someone else posted even in Christianity. When you hit your wife, you lose her respect. And there is a major difference between discipline and abusing your children. You are allowed to spank your children, but not beat them into a coma. A pop on the butt with a hand when little 5-year old Johnny runs out into the street is not abuse. But beating little Johnny with an extension cord or burning him with a hot iron is abuse. We are to teach the same way God has taught us with the three basic steps in his word: 1. Doctrine. What is right and wrong. 2. Reproof. Your "spanking", you did something wrong, you get punished. 3. Correction. Teaching what you did is wrong and why it is wrong. Even as adults we need these three basic steps in our lives. Yes we are going to mess up, and we need to be reprooved and corrected. We are not going to beat each other, but we are going to reprove and correct each other as appropriate.

Don't beat your wife. She may hit you over the head with an iron frying pan. :whistle:

and husbands that feel this way, need to have a hammer over their head...

Husbands, love your wives as Chirst loves the Church....... and that is not with a big stick or condemnation...... but with an uplifting gentile spirit.....

Claiming women naturally want to be controlled by men, the cleric declared, "Allah has created woman, whether Muslim or infidel, so she is happy under a strong man who will protect her and lives with her."

And who is going to protect the woman from the strong man?
