| Husband beats wife to death for defying 'orders' |

By Samir Salama, Bureau Chief Abu Dhabi : A man beat his wife to death because he says she "disobeyed his orders and looked out of the balcony", a police source said. The incident occurred at midnight on Friday. The Syrian man has been arrested and charged with the 20-year-old woman's murder. The man, a hairdresser, was returning home from his shop at around 10.30pm, when he saw his second wife, also Syrian, looking out of the balcony of his flat on the first floor. He got angry, rushed to his flat and started beating her all over her body. The woman's screams forced his first wife who lives in the same flat, out of bed and she tried to stop him. However, he overpowered her and continued beating his second wife up for half an hour until she fainted. The 30-year-old man called an ambulance but paramedics found his wife dead. The accused told police he had not meant to kill her. "I just wanted to discipline her after she disobeyed my orders. She died while I was hitting her for daring to look out of the balcony," he is said to have told interrogators. "I used to beat my wives but I never thought that beating would kill any of them. It was just my way of disciplining them," he said. His first wife told police she had tried hard to stop him but he had beaten her and pushed her away. "He continued to beat her for almost half an hour before she died," she said. The accused has been referred to the prosecution on charges of beating his wife to death. STUDY Domestic violence is common * Two-thirds of UAE residents have been the victims of violence or verbal attacks, a study has shown. * While women are the ones who are hurt the most, the majority of cases occur in the home. *The study by Dr Mohammad Abdullah Al Mutawa, Professor in Sociology at UAE University, showed that 66.2 per cent of respondents had been physically or verbally assaulted by family, at school or by peers. * It found that 33.5 per cent of respondents, aged 18 to 30, had been assaulted by their family. * Women were abused more often than men because families tended to tolerate mistakes by men. * Nearly 40 per cent of female respondents and 28.8 per cent of male respondents said they had been victims of some form of violence in the family. * More than 50 per cent of respondents' mothers were insulted, 20.5 per cent beaten and 11.4 per cent assaulted both verbally and physically. * A total of 16.4 per cent of mothers were assaulted in front of their children, according to the study. Ah, the Middle East.

I'm quite sure that if we looked at the same statistics for the US that the numbers would be appalling as well ...

Perhaps, but it least it's not proscribed in any Western religion...

Appalling is the key word. It's not being appalled that's the problem.

Then there's that pesky polygamy thing. Probably just as many men in the west with multiple wives, right? Any just for laughs, did you see my post about the two Iranian teenagers *hung* for being gay?
Moral relativity is a dangerous game, chief...

All I said was the US' statistics on domestic abuse are no better. what's relative about that, chief?
And what do the Iranians stance on homosexuality have to do with anything? Should I hate all muslims because of that? I happen to know muslims that don't have a problem with my being gay - maybe, just maybe not everyone who follows Islam is a radical extremist. Ever thought about that, chief?

Maybe, just maybe, the fact that it's the extremists who are the ones in control of this ideology is the cause for our concern. Tell your non-extremist Muslim friends to act on taking back their "hijacked religion".

I'd like to know the outcome for this man. INcarceration, for how long? Will he be stoned to death? He'll probably be walking, and beating an new "wife", in 6 months.
