Tapping your wife is a form of expression, like nudging someone, it has nothing to do with harming your wife, or hurting her, or assault. Those are all forbidden in Islam, and also forbidden in Western law

Anyways, you should probably rephrase your question to something like this:
If the Muslim faith is so tolerant of women, why does 4 women convert to Islam for every man (US statistics).
Answer the above question, or just close your eyes and walk off outside for a walk or a smoke, then come back and see if the question is still there.

The fact that you even entertain the thought of disciplining your wife like a child is indicative of your thought process......and is demeaning, disrespectful, and shameful.......
If i ever saw a man in public "tap" his wife like a child as to scold her, he would find himself disciplined instead.....

Ahh its everyones business, no one deserves to be treated like that. If a persons decides that is how they are going to treat their wife, then they should be treated the same way.......
And yes, like anyone who knows anything, i have a very strong moral compass, and where I come from, behavior like that towards women doesnt stand....
If thats what they want to do, then they can keep that culture in that hole in the sand they are living in over there....
In the civilized world we treat our women with dignity and respect

Lies.
1) Honor killings are part of many cultures, including India. India is NOT the originator of the tradition. Muslim Honor killings do not come from Indian tradition.
2) I doubt your statistic since you didn't post a source. But even if true, Muslims force women to convert all the time.

Your precious Muslims kidnap little girls, and rape them until they agree to convert to Islam.
So the question should really be...Why can't Muslims get women to convert willingly?
Why do Muslims feel that kidnapping, and raping little girls is okay?
So why don't you go ahead and take your own little walk, and come back with excuses for pedophile rape.

This is a complete lie, women cannot just say "divorce" and it's done.

You are just trying to semantically corrupt that posters words.
Humans are all equal, period. You simply don't understand the difference in a right and privilege, and thus unqualified to discuss rights. You demonstrated as much, when you claimed hiring expensive lawyers is a right.

More semantics and obfuscations.
Sure both Muslim Men and Women have to use the same rulebook (Quran), but they each get a different set of rules from that book. Something you are obviously trying to hide.

Oh, a marriage contract how convenient.
I'm sure those little girls they kidnapped, raped, and forced to marry them had a choice in signing.
Oh, wait a minute....

Page two, and you have yet to post a source to this mysterious statistic.
Considering your track record, it's probably not true.
Whoa man I laugh at all the hate for Islam... in Islamic countries women are not exploited for their sexual value like in America.... women are respected and some Muslims do beat their wives but so does every religious faith and atheists do too.... Islam protects their women and doesnt allow for greedy, principle and moral lacking not to mention say and do anything for a dollar schmucks dictate what is okay and not okay for a woman's image... women are not allowed to do certain things to protect a way a sacred way of life... poverty is poverty and you cannot compare apples to broccoli.
Islam is slammed based on the few isolated incidents that happen to be reported by certain "aspects" of the american media.... conflict of interest I guess... but compare quality of life in Iran, which is a well to do country, and Islam there to the rest of the "civilized" world..... you remember in Iraq the people there fought for Saddam Hussein and werent exactly aiding in their own "liberation".... even after Saddam's women and children fought to protect their way of life... it saddens me that what the world perceives as the American mind state is so true... ethnocentrism I believe is part of it... but this belief that America is so right when history shows American women are not happy with American men
Look at the rate of divorce here in America compared to most of the world the add on to that single mothers etc.... the American family is an endangered species but yet Americans want to argue over what is right and what is wrong from their limited view.... did you most people of other countries are affluent in 3 to 4 different languages? Americans are lucky to speak english properly or a few words in the most spoken language in America; that would be Spanish.... do the math America we are severly lagging behind in almost everything except military might.... and that can go soon too
Im proud of where I come from because America does have on thing still and that is a pioneering spirit and out of this dark cloud something great will come for the world to benefit from. Still attacking other cultures and faiths is no way to show you respect and love your country. Women in Islam are safer than in America. If women are possessions in Islam the women are product in America, to the husband and the corporate media respectively. Im sorry but I do not have the "spreadsheets" and appropriate data to back my claims but I have read extensively on the subject and have had many muslim friends treat me as a brother to know that Islam is not what the American media wants yo to believe. It is all propaganda to serve America's masters.... wake up people and get some intellectual curiousity to experience and form your own opinions.
“Don’t kill me.” “Don’t kill me,” cries 13 year old Somali girl before she is stoned to death for being a rape victim
An innocent little girl, Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow, was forced into a hole, buried up to her neck then pelted with stones by more than 50 MUSLIM men until she died in front of 1,000 jeering spectators.

Yeah right. Obviously you don't understand what happens in an abusive relationship. And that's what Islam is towards women .. abusive. According to Islam, the victim .. (that's the wife) .. is a lesser being. She's lower than men, slaves and cattle. She is not to be trusted. She is not to be allowed out without a male family member escort. Imams instruct their followers to beat the wives. Many women aren't even allowed to learn to read or to take care of themselves. In some Islamic countries they aren't allowed to drive. They are taught from the craddle to obey their slave master men.
Islam considers a woman to be equal to a man as a human being and as his partner in this life. Women have been created with a soul of the same nature as man’s. Allah (SWT) says in the Quran:
"O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam), and from him (Adam) He created his wife (Eve), and from them both He created many men and women and fear Allah through Whom you demand your mutual (rights), and (do not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship). Surely, Allah is Ever and All-Watcher over you." (Al-Nisa 4:1)
And in the words of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW),
"Assuredly, women are the twin halves of men." (Sahih reported by Abu-Dawud (RA)
Islam does not blame Eve alone for the First Sin. The Quran makes it very clear that both Adam and Eve were tempted, that they both

Thanks for the huge letters - up until that point the screen was just a blur.
Your point is still not valid, and you also completely ignore the point about treating your wife like some sort of disobedient pet, tapping her in disapproval for something like an owner would tap his dogs nose for jumping on the couch.
Thats it really.
Made my point - you've made yours, neither of us will change our opinions but you have to see that your viewpoints are not in line with westernised viewpoints and that is what people in western cultures object to.
Will not reply again as have said all I need to say, good luck to you as there seems to be numerous other people picking holes in your arguments for you to deal with.
Regards

I am sorry that you are blinded by your passion
As for me I will continue to keep an open mind and respect all cultures
Btw Islam was invented to do more than keep women in check.

If the muslim faith is so tolerant of woman, why do we heard of more honour killings in the UK, when the family are muslim than other faith familes.
Some of these familes must base their decision to kill a daughter or female relative because of their faith. Is this a good thing?

unless youre a feminist who wants to see women abuse the system used to regulate abuse toward women which is now obsolete?

Taping someone who you don't know with an object is an assault, not your wife. Don't be naive, that is like saying touching your wife is rape. Grow up, and stop watching FOX news.
