religion aside ........ no one should be allowed to hit anyone for sex. or anything really

I deal with it on an almost daily basis. Some guys just feel since it's "their old lady," they can treat them as they please.
That's when I step in.
Domestic violence is just plain WRONG!
Period!
Case closed!

Any idiot that thinks it's okay to physically violate "their old lady", or ANYONE, really, I'd ask them to do this-
Next time they feel like hitting their wife/girlfriend/whoever, maybe they should just go hit a Marine Corps infantryman or Navy Seal instead.

OK so to get out front of this.. I do not condone hitting women
I have three sisters.. Someone hit’s them.. They take a Dirt nap..

But this goes back to past discussions we have held..
Someone enters your country, they have prior practices
Where is the line drawn? And who draws the line?
Wife beating??
Selling girls into marriage?
Arranging for marriages?? Even for boys?
Plural Marriage?
Exchanging holidays?? (OK so I understand that you do not celebrate Christmas, We will work Christmas
From now on.. We will take YOUR day off)

Slippery slope.. Either stop it right at the border, or (too late) try and find the line..

No - this is one individuals weird interpretation of the Koran .... most of the muslims here are outraged - itis not a "race" thing - it is one man that thinks it is his right to have sex when he wants and if denied - then he can hit the female. Fact it is a muslim - doesnt make it any more right or wrong -

I don't think anyone deserves to get hit. (That's my serious answer.)

A person of the non-female type who hits a woman doesn't deserve to be called a man.

Of course this is not ok.....
Unfortunately, people can be 'influenced' by the culture they are exposed to....and react badly.
This I know is true... :cry:

I would like to put him in a room full of women that have been hit before and let the him take one for the team and see how he likes it, this is not a real man, and I wonder if he ever will be?

Let's not forget that unfortunately Islam holds no monopoly on this patriarchal, barbaric thinking. Ephesians 5:22-24 "Wives, be subject to your husbands as you are to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife just as Christ is the head of the church, the body of which he is the Savior. Just as the church is subject to Christ, so also wives ought to be, in everything, to their husbands."

Some forget to read the next line which is :Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her" and later "In the same way, husbands should love their wives as they do their own bodies"

Of course I could get into the fact that these verses where written in a time of patriarchy and male-superiority, but I digress.
