The leader of a Pakistani Islamic council has proposed a bill that allows husbands to "lightly beat" their wives as a form of discipline.
In the 75-page proposal, Mohammad Khan Sheerani suggests a light beating is acceptable should the need arise to punish a woman. The proposal bans forceful beating, saying only a small stick is necessary to instill fear.
The Council of Islamic Ideology is a powerful constitutional body that advises the Pakistani legislature whether laws are in line with the teachings of Islam.
Beat women lightly. Apparently that's some sort of Islamic compromise between beating the crap out of them and treating them as equals.

Note the council's name: Islamic Ideology. Great religion there. We should import more of it over here. /s

I fail to see what's so objectionable here. This used to be the law in the west.
P.S. Men and women aren't the same. Equality is a myth.
You should seriously consider switching prophets.
I'm curious though: where exactly is "over here"?
Nothing I've said here contradicts Christianity.
No idea of your brand of Christianity - but it's definitely not Roman Catholicism!Nothing I've said here contradicts Christianity.
Really, the Jesus man went around preaching how best to beat your wife?

Any one of these 50-uh 7 states.

You're skewing your argument.Where does anything Jesus or the Church said condemn corporal punishment?
You're skewing your argument.
The Catholic Church does not condone wife beating!
If you doubt, I suggest consulting your Parish Priest or the Catechism.
"The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops said in 2002, "As pastors of the Catholic Church in the United States, we state as clearly and strongly as we can that violence against women, inside or outside the home, is never justified."[2]"I'm not skewing anything. What I originally asserted is that the Church does not condemn such.
If you have proof to the contrary, post it.
I can't possibly comprehend why a Muslim would want to immigrate to a country that harbors such a virulent animus towards his demographic. At this rate I'll start to feel not sympathy, but contempt towards American Muslims.

I was not aware of this, and I'm not going to research it.It's little to do with religion.
110 years ago, it was legal in Canada for men to beat their wives...just don't seriously injure her. That was nothing to do with religion.
It's called evolution.
Pakistan is evolving slower then the West...probably due to poverty, colonialism, massive governmental corruption and a few other reasons.
Religion reflects a society, it does not form a society. It is the excuse, not the cause.
Personally, I think all major religions are a complete and total waste of time.
Infiltrate..
Your point about the three major Abraham religions is a good one.Awww this is cute. The topic quickly devolved into how superior and refined Christianity is compared to Islam. I hate to burst your bubble guys, but the three Abrahamic religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - share so much in common. The only difference here is that of the three religions, Christianity is the least practiced, though that's quickly changing with the conservative/evangelical counterrevolution in the U.S and, to a lesser degree, in Europe. I urge concerned Americans who seem too aghast by what Pakistanis supposedly do to check the Haredi community in Brooklyn, or the Quiverfull movement in various parts of the U.S or any other evangelical community in the country for that matter.
Whoever instilled this obsession with Islam and Muslims in the minds of Americans did the country the greatest disservice since its inception. The country has more than its share of social and cultural woes, yet it's too preoccupied to deal with them - how could it when it's fixated on Muslims.
