- I think you have made a very valid point here. Its not about western sensibilities vs. islamic/arab culture and its a shame when muslims or arabs get defensive rather than looking into their own back yards. At the same time - it is not necessarily up to developed nations (or people from them) to dictate societal norms and/or look down upon other cultures/religions."Even if a community upholds the idea that a man is divinely appointed head of the household, the man should be expected to use his power in a humane and fair way. He should never feel entitled to physically harm his wife or children - in fact he should feel deeply shamed"

And why should I keep my opinions to myself? You get to say what you want why can't I?
Oh and women are sfer here? Hmmmm yes that's why when a friend of mine was out in the desert with his girlfriend and their car broke down, a car with a bunch of locals came by and said they'd only help if they could all sleep with his girl. That's why one of my friends was recently attacked by a local in her own apartment! I have lots of examples, so no I don't think we are safer! You could go out wearing a bin liner and some sick minded guys would still try it on.
Anyway this thread was dead and buried. Get over it.

Christianity has a fairly poor view of women too. I mean, remember that it's Eve's fault we're not all kicking back, butt naked in the Garden of Eden right now (anyone for frisbee?).
And trust me, England has it's share of wife-beaters too. I think these guys should be named and shamed. I mean how cowardly can you be?!
