    HOW TO BEAT YOUR WIFE???

    Posted By: Jim Richards jrichards@astral.com · 3/23/2012 5:12:00 PM

    I am not a fan of book burning or banning. This country does have a history of banning books in the past, at the border and in schools. However

    I believe the book featured on my Friday show should be banned and is hate literature . The book is called A Gift for Muslim Couple . Our guest Eric Brazau, who purchased this book at Islamic Books (on Gerrard Street East. ) was concerned with some of the content in it- specifically instructions on how to beat your wife.



    The book claims it is meant to be a gift for newly wedded Muslim couples on how to have a successful Muslim relationship. The book uses

    Koranic interpretations and citations to back its teachings.



    Here is an example of some of the troubling content in



    A Gift for the Muslim couple

    Pg. 36- Conjugal relationship between spouses is one of lover and beloved

    - If the need should arise it might be necessary to restrain her with strength or even to threaten her. However, one should observe the limits and one should see that he does not become unjust cruel.

    Pg. 38- The excellence of the husband and his high position

    - Today we see the position is such that women have so little regard for their husbands that they are prepared to use abusive language to the husbands and to confront them with contentious arguments.

    Pg. 44- an important list of rights of the husband

    - One of the examples include:

    •She should not allow herself to be untidy and disheveled and dirty, but beautify herself for him and if she, in spite of him ordering her to adorn herself, should refrain from doing so, he shall even have the right to beat her to do so.


    Pg. 45- The rights of the husband over the wife

    - One of the examples include:

    •She cannot leave the husband’s house without his permission.
    •Not to refuse when he calls her for intercourse if there is no Shar’i impediments like when she has her menstrual cycle
    •She should not call him by his first name when calling him


    Pg. 79- Summary of a wife’s rights

    - One of the examples includes:

    •To refrain from beating her excessively


    Pg. 82- Whether the wife is a senior or a junior, she is entitled to Nafaqah

    Nafaqah- In Islamic Shari'a, nafaqa is defined as an obligation of material support for the wife and children.

    - When a wife is very young, even to this extend that she is unable to have any sexual relations, but is mature enough to live with the man, amuse him and perform some tasks for him, he is obligated to maintan her, as long as she submits herself to him.

    - But when a girl is unfait for sexual relations, and can still offer the husband congenial company, her husband is NOT obliged to keep her in his home.



    Pg. 89- it is not only the right of the wife that she should be supplied with financial support, but she’s also entitled to be pleased and happy….treat them with kindness for they are like prisoners in your care.

    Pg. 107- The wife’s devotion and loyalty

    - Simple and unsophisticated women are generally very devoted to their husbands



    Pg. 108- Extreme kindness to women

    - The husband should treat the wife with kindness and love even if she tends to be stupid and slow sometimes.



    Pg. 125- pages devoted to scolding those who abuse their wives



    Pg. 128- punishment women and the manner to discipline them

    - To reproach

    - To scold verbally

    - To beat by hand or stick

    - To pull by the ears

    - To use harsh words

    - To restrain financially

    *the jurists have clearly prohibited explicit beating of that kidn which leaves a mark



    This is garbage! We live in a country where young women can have authorities turn their back on them. Allowing their father to treat them like property, only later to be found dead in a canal in Kingston. All because we are afraid to be viewed as racist. We must stand up for our values and let newcomers know we do not tolerate the garbage found in things like A Gift For Muslim Couple. Books such as this one have NO place in Canada and should be pulled the shelves. We should welcome people of all religions and cultures to our great nation, but I believe that Multiculturalism is flawed, Diversity should be Canada’s strength. All people have to have an understanding that there needs to be a “buy in” when coming to Canada. An understanding of what we stand for, it needs to be more important than just getting away from the country you are leaving.



    It is not my intention to harass a small business owner but I do think they need to rid their store of this book. The owner of the store , Mr. Ahmad, declined to be interviewed about the issue and asked that we refrain from contacting him about this matter any further.

    This piece of literature has been approved by the Liberal Party of Canada. So what's next? Burning of witches if this falls under some religious philosophy or dogma? How come politicians are so flexible on basic principles when it comes to electioneering?

    I suppose all that liberalism stands for now among many caucuses, is a liberal, flexible approach on principles, being adaptable and inventive in how to build a voter base.

    Where is your evidence that the Liberal Party condones spousal assault?

    Well, if you tuned into that radio show, they talked about how they contacted the Liberal Party officials representing Bob Rae inquiring about their opinion of this book and whether it should be banned, and the answers they got were of religious exemptionalism, cultural tolerance etc overriding all other considerations. Bob Rae people argued in the spirit of genuine relativism since there is a lot of violence in the Bible too, then somehow this justifies domestic violence today.

    And they are right. We have freedom of speech in this country and you want to take that away? Just because one reads the bible doesn't mean they have to follow all the "rules" in it. Same for this book, I'm sure that any Muslim male that reads it isn't going to start beating his wife. The abusive Muslim males are the exception, not the rule....like any society. We have loads of Anglo Saxon males in this country that are abusive to their wives. Just check out how many Transition houses there are for battered "white" wives in Canada.
