He's Saudi author and cleric, "Dr." Muhammad Al-'Arifi, who in a remarkable segment broadcast on Saudi and Kuwaiti television in September, counseled young Muslim men on how to treat their wives.

"Admonish them – once, twice, three times, four times, ten times," he advised. "If this doesn't help, refuse to share their beds."

And if that doesn't work?

"Beat them," one of his three young advisees responded.

"That's right," Al-'Arifi said.

Anyone else see anything WRONG with this? :puzz

i think this got posted the other day on here but i can't remember

anyway in that part of the world wife beating is accepted and okay. does it make it right....HELL NO but culturally it is acceptable

hmm..I'm not even sure what to say. Glad he's not my hubby tho - he might just get hit back.

(BTW: your siggy is frickin hilarious!)

It does make it easier to understand some things about why things are the way they are.

I do not agree with it, obviously being a woman.

Maybe one day we can all respect eachother as people and care for one another as such.

LOL!!! RED RANGER!!! Yea... :superhero But I get to be the pink one.. :yes

Good thing that man is not my husband. I do Tae Bo dude. ;)

DF jokes about this.
He tells me that if he hits me on top of my head or in my stomach, there wont be any bruises.
He also says that if a woman gets hysterical and angry that you can shake them once or twice and yell very loudly. He says they will immediately seize up.
I wonder where he got that info?
Now that I think about it, its not that funny.

Shit. He's better than my dad. He would say you should've know better the first time and beat you then.

:rofl DH threatens me with the wood chipper :lol
...which, we don't even have.

I agree with Jill-that's just the way it is there. I'm not a big fan of making other people change their cultures because we don't agree. They think our way of living isn't "right", either.
