If you had any doubts about Muslims being Godless, these are wiped away by the court in UAE that takes a totally anti-Biblical stance on family discipline.

Where, oh WHERE, does God say you have to stay your hand in guiding your wife and children? I have a nephew, and if my brother caught him smoking or drinking or watching Scoopy Doo or any other number of sins and wickedness he would paint his back porch red. Job 5:17-18 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty; for he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.

Or if his wife refused to listen, what is a Christian man supposed to do?
There is no Bible verse at all that says discipline is bad, and when you consider all the good things the Bible tells us come from discipline, it makes you wonder how can a man say he loves his wife and not discipline her when needed?

It's hard enough to bring up children in today's world without being fettered by the courts. Thank God we live in America and not in these devil Mooslim countries. Clearly the never heard of the Bible over there.

Why would they worry about not leaving bruises when those bruises will never be seen anyway? Don't they wrap their wives in dark coloured toilet paper?

I always thought that was why their children called their mothers 'mummy' in the first place.

Believe it or not, it is actually quite easy to discipline your wife/children without leaving bruises. In Canada the wife couldn't go anywhere without someone pointing at a bruise and saying "did your husband do that?" Even a tiny little bruise on her forearm. Most of the time it had absolutely nothing to do with me.

You're not kidding. It was getting to the point I was going to start wearing a shirt saying "I have 3 boys and large dogs, yes I have bruises!"

The worst case was when Matthew almost broke my nose. I picked him up and he swung his head forward and just nailed me right on the end of the nose. Seth took me to the hospital for an x-ray, and I've got a nurse, a doctor and a police officer trying to convince me to lay charges. They were really confused when I said "against who? A toddler?" Then the neighbor called the cops because I had a nasty shiner for a while. So I had to discuss the incident with another cop. Then wherever we went, people would look at me with sympathy and look at Seth like he was an absolute monster. It was so nice that they decided I was an abused woman without even knowing the circumstances.

You know if I was an evil manipulative femnazi I could have milked that situation for all it was worth. Or the time I pulled my shoulder while trying to open a stuck gate, or the time I dislocated my knee cap, or the time I fell down the stairs. Seth had absolutely nothing to do with any of those situations, but the Canadian cops still wanted to lay charges against him. Obviously I was just "an abused woman afraid to tell it like it really was".
