Islam’s Invasion Ideology...
Anne Bonney:
--- Quote from: "Froderik" ---The highest court in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) ruled that a husband can beat his wife and young children "as long as the beating leaves no physical marks." How's that for civility?
The decision by the Federal Supreme Court shows the strong influence of Islamic law (Sharia). . . The court made the ruling earlier this month in the case of a man who left cuts and bruises on his wife and adult daughter after a beating.

Our Federal Supreme Court? And if so, what is the source for the statement that the decision was influenced by Islamic law?
Froderik:
The ruling was reported on Monday in the Abu Dhabi-based newspaper The National.
Anne Bonney:
Got a link? I'd be very interested in reading it.
Froderik:
I got it from some link off of google news, not sure which one.

A quote:
Dr Ahmed al Kubaisi, the head of Sharia Studies at UAE University and Baghdad University, told the National that beating one's wife is at times necessary to preserve family bonds.
"If a wife committed something wrong, a husband can report her to police," Dr al Kubaisi told the newspaper. "But sometimes she does not do a serious thing or he does not want to let others know; when it is not good for the family. In this case, hitting is a better option."
