These are the words of wisdom. Thank you. How foolish sometimes we Christians look in the eyes of Muslims criticizing their religion and not seeing our problems.
Yes, but things have changed drastically. In the past 3-4 decades there has been an awareness that abuse is NOT acceptable. We, as a society, have grown. And the priests do NOT teach that in my Church. In fact, a while back they said that there is just as much responsiblity on the guys too. Their responsibility is NOT to beat, or abuse in any way, their wives and/or kids. I don’t remember the whole sermon.
But there are quite a number of differences between the basic teachings of Jesus vs Muhammed concerning abuse.
We also stopped slavery while it is still allowed in Islam.
Muhammed abused Aisha, and many slaves. We know that he hit Aisha at least once. He ok’d stonings for adultry which is ironic since he lusted, and took, his stepson’s wife. What he did was discontinue adoption so as no one would have this problem anymore. He said it was ok to hit kids.
Matt 5:31-32 Jesus preached against divorce.
koran 2:230 mohammed preached divorce and allowed temporary marriage with compensation.
Bukhari vol7 p8
Jesus never owned slaves.
mohammed received a 5th of the prisoners taken in battle, including women and children, surah 8:41, Sura 33:50
Jesus never married
mohammed had many wives and slave girls. Bukhari, vol1 bk5 no268
“Ibn Khatal … had two slave girls who used to sing for him and for his companions songs full of abuse of the Prophet. The Prophet’s instructions specified that the two slave girls should also be killed. … Another (to be killed) was al-Huwayrith Nuqaydh Wahb Qusayy, one of those who used to insult him in Mecca.” (Sirat Rasul Allah)
A similar story as that of al-Nadir can be told about Uqba bin Abu Muayt. He too harassed and mocked Muhammad in Mecca and wrote derogatory verses about him. He too was captured during the Battle of Badr, and Muhammad ordered him to be executed.
“But who will look after my children, O Muhammad?” Uqba cried with anguish.
“Hell,” retorted the prophet coldly.
Then the sword of one of his followers cut through Uqba’s neck.

And also in Islam, there are these things called Sharia laws. And nothing protects the women and girls from ‘honor killings’ in them. They (Muslims on these threads) say that ‘honor killings’ are not Islamic, but all the Muslim countries practice them and Sharia laws don’t protect the women from it. All a man has to say is that the woman has dishonored him, or the the family, or that she spoke against the Prophet, or something to that effect.
The end product is not always death in ‘honor killings’, it is also torture, beatings, etc.
I find it ironic that
Muslim women here in the West don’t speak out against this sort of thing while they are free. They don’t help their Muslims ‘sisters’ at all by just accepting this, or denying it. Because most of the time I hear and read, they deny it all.
Some of the differences between this and the domestic violence that we are used to (geez, we should never get used to it!), is the ferocity of the violence, and too often more than one family member partakes in this with the mother, and brothers, being complicent in the crime. And the perps never say they are remorseful, instead they portray themselves as the victims (you know, she dishonored him and/or the family).
I would say that it is foolish to discount the differences and to just be so accepting of their explaining it off as if there is nothing to it all in Islam. They think that emulating their Prophet is the way to live and that is what he did.
Still waiting 
. Poor Jesus (pbuh) , no choice but to fry all of OT figures in fire with all those bad Mozlems
