I think 42's parodies of SJW's could come into play here. Who are we as white privileged westerners to tell the oppressed Muslim women what behaviour towards them in Islam is acceptable or not? We get told this when we try and point out that the Burka is a symbol of oppression regardless of whether Muslim women choose to wear it. Why can't Muslim women decide for themselves what is acceptable behaviour towards them?The Women of Hizb ut-Tahrir Australia group has published a video on social media saying Islam allows men to hit women in a "symbolic" way.
Two panellists in the video claim men are permitted — but not obliged or encouraged — to hit women.
"It's very evident that this is symbolic in nature and it's not as what people have understood or what people would like to have understood," one panellist said.
In a statement, Senator Cash said domestic violence was abuse "plain and simple".
.....
The panellists say men are permitted to hit women, but only gently and preferably with a scarf, pieces of fabric or a short stick.
One panellist refers to being hit by a man as "a beautiful blessing" while another says it is "symbolic".
When listing acts that "require disciplinary measures", the women raised disobedience to a husband, immoral acts, cheating, or having guests that the husband does not approve of.
(In case there is any doubt, I certainly don't support these women's views, and don't give a fuck what any SJW says about it).
