How to Beat Your Wife

MEMRI (The Middle East Media Research Institute) has released another shocking video.

This video is a recording of Saudi Cleric Muhammad Al-’Arifi explaining how a Muslim man should properly beat his wife.

A few excerpts from the video:

Beating in the face is forbidden, even when it comes to animals. When a person is beating an animal… Even if you want your camel or donkey to start walking, you are not allowed to beat it in the face. If this is true for animals, it is all the more true when it comes to humans.

If you beat her with a toothpick, or if you beat her lightly with your hand, and so on, it is meant to convey: “Woman, it has gone too far. I can’t bear it anymore.”

If he beats her, the beatings must be light and must not make her face ugly. He must beat her where it will not leave marks. He should not beat her on the hand… He should beat her in some places where it will not cause any damage.

He should not beat her like he would beat an animal or a child - slapping them right and left.

Perhaps soon Al-’Arifi will release a follow-up video, “How to Beat Your Children” — as his hints of “slapping them right and left” can’t be quite satisfying enough to the sadistic mind.
