Disappointing website - that I found through the ABC

[rowlandm]

Now you know that I don't really get that fired up - but I must admit this particular website that I found through this ABC news online story really fired me up - and now that I have reflected on it - really disappointed me.

The website is called "Islamic Sydney" and the story was Misconceptions about Islam.

I found the website while listening to the podcast on this story:
ABC News online - Renovating Aussie Muslim style


The part of the article I read that I thought was incorrect was this:

Hello mate

I'm not sure if those Muslims are talking about 4:34, if they do then they are wrong in two aspects:

1) the wife that should be beaten is the ill conduct wife not any wife

2) the beating is the last resort after exchusting another two options menti0oned in the same verse

3) during the first two options the wife can easily seek divorce and the husband should divorce her

i.e. the wife in control for not being beaten

therefore those Muslkims are only creating a new feel good religion which is not what the Quran is talking about
