Respecting other cultures in our multi-cultural society is the law apparently. Muslims especially are given free reign because they have so many vital cultural needs, one of which is to be intolerant of all other cultures and beliefs, having to pray five times a day at a specific time.

The law says that we have to respect this. This can only lead me to believe that we must also respect their cultural practice of wife bashing. To not do so would be not respecting their cultural needs. To differentiate between prayer and wife bashing, would be hypothetical of the law and breaking this all important law of obligeing other cultures. That law cannot pick and choose what cultural traditions and needs immigrants can and cannot have. That would defeat the whole purpose of respecting other cultures.

If a woman wants to be a Muslim, then she must respect her husband's disciplinary authority. It's their culture, their way and I cannot be told to respect one aspect of their culture and disrespect another. If we must respect other cultures as this is a multi-cultural society, must respect every aspect of that culture.

We cannot force our own culture onto other cultures, while respecting other cultures. We cannot force feminism or democracy onto other cultures while making it a law to oblige other cultures in our so called enlightened society. We either respect another culture or we don't.

To pick and choose what they can and cannot do in regards to their culture is forcing them to adopt our culture. So a multi-cultural society is a fallacy. If you take pride in respecting other cultures then you have to respect the Muslim practice of wife bashing, or you are a hypocrite, and you're tree hugging utopian dream of everyone getting along is a delusion.

This quote is some-what abrogated... If not filled with grammatical errors.

To be sure the Quran does advocate a reprisal for wives or daughters that behave in an immoral manor. This should never accompany an unfounded accusation of Adultery or Fornication.

Depending on the level of impropriety chastisement is administered.

Unless your William8's wife or daughter... Then You can sleep with Whomever you want! He's happy to care for any and all illegitimate children from such behavior.

Allah Hu Akbar! (The Almighty Is Greatest)
