Beating women in Islam

[robvalue]

My point, and I’ll say it just for those reading at home, is that saying you should do such and such because a book says so is not a good plan. You end up with circular morality, where the book says what is good, and that is good because the book says so.

Presenting an argument for not beating women because it doesn’t say so requires admitting that you would advocate hitting them if it did say so. Otherwise your whole argument falls apart.
