news.com.au — Here's trouble: A Melbourne Islamic cleric has told his male followers they can force their wives to have sex and hit them if they are disobedient. He said under Islamic law it was a man's right to demand sex from his wife whenever he felt like it. His lecture is entitled "The Keys to a Successful Marriage"

It is called the rule of thumb. Can't do much damage with that then, can we? Perhaps it should have been a rule of wrist?

While I disagree with the cleric's recommendations and much of Islamic thought, I think calling muslims nothing but 'unevolved neanderthals' is going too far. It's derogatory and inaccurate to claim that they have contributed nothing towards world thought and culture. The Islamic Golden Age is an example of creativity other than just senseless violence. <a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_Golden_Age">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_Golden_Age</a>Not an apologist for Islam at all. But I just think there should be a balance to your views.

I expect this to hit the frontpage too, like that one from that Saudi cleric.But honestly guys, most Muslims don't really give a damn to what these nincompoops have to say.
