The act of beating your wife to death is very bad. I don't consider any motive sufficient to justify it, by any person, in any part of the world. If you think you have made an argument which represents me not holding that view, you have got it wrong and ought to retrace your steps in search of your error.

The feminists in question don't belief wife beating is so bad when it is done in accordance with Sharia Law. if they thought it was so bad they would oppose it the same way they oppose other violence against women. Instead they remain silence.

Liar, Liar, pants on fire. I think that is why you call yourself FlashDangerpants

Nick, just stop being a total bell end. We all know you are just a conspiracy wacko with nothing useful to say.

However, for Muslims, what you say is true: they kill with impunity, and even their own children. I could name you three highly-public cases in short order.

I have made the point that feminists object to all household violence of men against women and don't need to make any special deal about whatever subset of that vast quantity of violence which occurs over there is carried out by adherents of any particular religion

i live in deep dark US South and there are plenty of men here who see no more problem with beating their wives "lightly" than do the most hard-core jihadists

Nick_A wrote:I agree. But do feminists openly protest them or do they ignore them as they do the jihadists?

You really need to stop repeating this as the number of jihadists in the US is close to zero.

No they don't. You've already been pointed towards feminist sites who oppose such behavior.

………….In a brief email exchange, the feminist led-political movement admitted their they did not take a position on Sharia inspired laws or the many Sharia courts which continue to grow in number in Britain. The email came after activist, and PEGIDA UK campaigner, Anne Marie Waters questioned the group after receiving a promotional email from them.
Ms. Waters asked the group what their stance was on Sharia courts to which the group replied: “The Women’s Equality Party is a non-partisan political party and the issue of Sharia councils is a partisan one so we do not have a party line.” The group maintained, however, that they were working with “those who have been forced into marriage or suffered FGM (female genital mutilation) or honour-based violence.”

Ending the email Ms. Waters accused the party of the same kind of “slacktivism” many on the left routinely exhibit when it comes to tough issues. She said: “It is clear to me that you will focus on uncontroversial matters while ignoring unimaginable cruelty to women right under your nose. Such a shame. Feminism has really become a joke.”……………….
