Those tolerant Muslims in the United Arab Emirates—the nation you may remember due to the voluminous Mossad hit squad activity there when a Hamas terrorist was killed—have had its highest court rule that it’s just ducky for a man to beat his wife and children, as long as he doesn’t leave any marks.
Islamic sharia law allows a man to “discipline” his wife and children provided that he does not leave physical marks, according to a ruling by the supreme court in the United Arab Emirates.
The judgment was made in the case of a man who slapped and kicked his daughter and slapped his wife, injuring both slightly. But the federal court in Abu Dhabi, capital of the UAE, also said that their bruises were evidence that the father had abused his legal right.
Say, do you think the UN Human Rights Committee will bring this up under special investigation? Do you think that Ban Ki-Moon will comment on it? Do you think that the world media will spend the next 72 hours writing scathing articles about legalizing domestic abuse?
Of course not. Because it wasn’t a court in Israel. Remember this next time you hear about those intolerant “ultra-Orthodox” Jews.
