Assalamo Alikum,
Quote:Wel_mel_2, I find it interesting that you constantly use the bible to prove that the behavior of muslims is correct. In this case, you are claiming that, since the bible teaches that Christian men are allowed to beat and rape their wives, then obviously muslim husbands are allowed to beat and rape their wives, too.I did not indicate that at all, I show you what the Bible teaches so that you can reflect, care less about the Islamic teaching and try to solve your problems before going beyond that.
Quote:Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that the Christian Triune God thinks it is acceptable for Christian husbands to beat and rape their wives (I don't for a second believe that, but let's assume it is true). All that proves is that both Islam and Christianity are evil religions. I don't see how you, as a muslim, can justify performing evil acts by claiming that non-muslims perform those same evil acts, so therefore the evil acts must be pleasing to Allah.To sum up what I said earlier in case you did not get the point: rape in Islam is not allowed, beating in Islam is NOT allowed unless it is done with Miswak as the prophet teaches to set things right, beating in Christianity is allowed (love your wives as God love the Israelites, but see how God punishes those whom He love), rape in Christianity is not allowed, however if you raped someone she is forced to marry her rapist and never get a divorce. Now you compare which way is the evil one.
Quote:In any case, the bible verses quoted by AlShamms clearly give the Christian view on marriage. Read them again, and show us where beatings and rape are mentioned.Why don't you investigate the verses I quoted first and tell me whether wife beating is NOT permitted in the Bible? (references are ready in case you are not familiar with the stories given in my previous post).
Salam
Wael
