It's legal for Muslims to beat their wives in Germany
Don't you just LOVE the relativistic morals of today's liberals? Not only do they want to bend over backwards for the terrorists out to kill us all, but they want to bend and twist the laws to make their barbaric treatment of women legal.

What's next, legalization of foot binding so as to avoid offending Chinese sensibilities?

A DIVORCE court judge ruled a man was RIGHT to beat and abuse his wife — because the Muslim holy book allowed it.

The terrified partner, a 26-year-old mum of two, filed for a quickie divorce after her husband hit her and even threatened to kill her.

But the judge in Frankfurt, Germany, rejected her application — quoting a Koran verse which some have controversially interpreted to mean a man can beat his wife if she acts in an “unchaste” fashion.

The woman judge said it was “a religious thing” because both the wife and husband were from Morocco — home to many Muslims.

She added: “The exercise of the right to castigate does not fulfil the hardship criteria defined by German law.”

But the wife’s lawyer, Barbara Becker-Rojczyk filed a claim saying the judge had a conflict of interest and should have stepped down.

She said: “The judge seems to be saying that the right to castigate means a husband can beat his wife.

“Apparently the judge deems it unchaste when my client adapts a Western lifestyle.” The judge has since been excused from the case.

1. I don't see why this has anything to do with liberals.
2. This was a divorce court judge, who has since been excused from the case, not a judge and jury trying the husband.
3. The Sun is a tabloid, lol.

I think it's wrong for men to beat their wives, no relativism about it. If she had required medical treatment then he would be facing a prison sentence, I'm sure. All that's happened here is a divorce court judge made a bad decision. Sounds like the case is going to be heard again in front of a different judge.

You are trying to shut something down that does not and will not effect you life in any way. To my knowledge no one is making you listen to Distorted View Daily. I believe amendment one of the United States Bill of Rights States:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

In conclusion you should go fist a dick hole because you will not shut down Distorted View!
