Improvement?

My wife had a terribly bruised and cut face a few weeks ago. She was coming home with my youngest and fell off a push scooter onto her face.
For a while she was getting such pitying looks that she wanted to get a placard made that said "My husband did not do this" You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid. Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis. 
Stand before the people you fear and speak your mind - even if your voice shakes.

For those who have stayed clear of Muslim Scholar's 'Women and Marriage challenge'-thread, his opinion was that you can hit women and children as long as you don't leave a visible mark. Because that makes domestic violence so much more tolerable.. '-_- I believe this was announced by modern clerics as a tactic to evade the law (leave no evidence for the courts to see.) I wonder where "Let there be no compulsion in religion" fits in all this...

Sorry for being cynical, but I find it hard to believe that persons, who think it's alright according to their religion to 'correct' their spouse's behavior with corporal punishment, can think that any secular law can bypass religious ones. When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
And by "correct" it is meant the the male is always right and never does anything stupid or wrong.

The "no compulsion" thing comes from allowing xians and jews to practice their religion as long as they pay extortion and live under sharia.

Extortion...one thing the abrahamic religions have down pat.

There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke |
