Wife beating in Saudi Arabia

There are some people of Islamic beliefs that think parts of the Koran does indeed need to be changed. How strange. I can't imagine changing the Bible, but I suppose that's apples and oranges?

While the Israelites were in the desert, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day. Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole assembly, and they kept him in custody, because it was not clear what should be done to him. Then the LORD said to Moses, "The man must die. The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp." So the assembly took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD commanded Moses.

... women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.

But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.

These are all things that not many take seriously any more. All religions, including Christianity, adapt to fit the times.

I am reminded of Tammy Fae Baker when she used to interrupt her husband with a constant "but honey" in front of the whole world. This also goes for the husbands of the female prophets. They should keep silent "in the church too".

In all due respect I agree with much of what you have said... The Holy Bible has changed with culture in many instances. Thanks to Jesus and Paul the apostle and even today's modern times have shed new light and brought about needed tolerance.

I would imagine you'd do whatever it takes to get the hell out. Otherwise...

What if you're born gay in Saudi Arabia? How do they handle that?

Unlike most Saudi women, she spoke out publicly about the attack and, even more unusually, the Saudi press reported her words and carried a picture of her badly disfigured face. [..]

In the immediate aftermath of the attack, she said she was speaking out not only on her own behalf but of other Saudi women, to let them know there was redress under sharia (Islamic law) to protect them from domestic violence. "I want to use what happened to me to draw attention to the plight of abused women in Saudi Arabia," she said at the time.
