This just goes to show how brain washed muslims in the middle east truly are. The saddest part is that people will use this to try and make islam out to be a good thing, when we all know the real deal.

VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN: JORDAN, 20% APPROVE TO BE BEATEN

(ANSAmed) – AMMAN, NOVEMBER 25 – Around 20 percent of Jordanian women approve being beaten by husbands to discipline them, according to a survey conducted by the department of statistics that was published today. The study included nearly 15,000 families and 11,000 women who got married, said the report. Most of the respondents aged between 15 to 49 years old. Luck Steve, representative of UN Agencies which helped conduct the study, said measures must be taken to fight violence against women following surprising results of the survey. “The result of the survey shows we have work to do regarding state of women in the society and how they are being treated,” said Steve. The study was conducted during 2007 and made public during a public ceremony held at the department of statistics. Activists have been campaigning to improve conditions of women in this tribal community, but they are faced with resistance from traditional politicians. Queen Rania has been pushing for more rights to women since she was crowned nine years ago, with her efforts resulting in allowing married women to divorce their husbands, a measure that has been an exclusive right for men since decades. Every year between 15 to 20 women are killed in the name of honour, with killers receiving sentences for just a few months behind bars. (ANSAmed).

Yeah this bodes well for shariah enthusiasts in the West. Where are the women’s rights groups? Why are they silent? Oh yeah, because they know muslims don’t give a crap about being PC, or about anyone’s rights.

    Some Muslim women are probably used to beatings from their husbands.  There are other Muslim women who are afraid to disagree, lest they get the crap beat out of them.  If you’re an infidel woman, consider yourself lucky unless you’re married to a Muslim animal.

    I got news for these women, it’s not your husbands right or duty to “discipline” you. I don’t know whats worse, men who do it or women who think it’s OK. Both groups make my stomach churn.
