No, I'm stuck on the general and accepted abuse of wives and relatives that is not protested because it is ingrained within the religious tradition of Islam. I'm against beheading, honor killings, beatings, mutilation, and all of the other sundry abuses that happen every day but only come up on the mainstream radar when it is sensational. I want to see this abuse recognized and protested against not by non-Muslims but by Muslims. I'm not talking about any abuse here but abuse which is rooted in a religious tradition. If a religious tradition says its OK to hurt or kill someone and this is acted on, then there is a problem. ANY religious tradition. I wonder if we would be having this conversation if the killer was a Christian and he stoned his wife to death for adultery. I expect not as we would have heard an outcry against it by now.
And the thing that really has to be watched is that the husband is in court today to get custody of the kids. On Tue, Feb 17, 2009 at 9:05 AM, Scott Stroz <[email protected]> wrote: > > I am curious.
