Spousal abuse is universal across all cultures, but only in Islam is it given divine sanction, both in the Qur’an and in Muhammad’s example:

“Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.” — Qur’an 4:34

Muhammad “struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you?” — Aisha (Sahih Muslim 2127)

How Islamophobic of the Brits to prosecute this fellow. If they’re serious about welcoming Islam into Britain, they’re going to have to cut this sort of thing out. And of course, anyone who dares whisper the hint of a suggestion that maybe these Muslim refugees are coming with a culture that is radically incompatible with Britain’s is just a greasy Islamophobe, to be dismissed from polite society. Everyone knows that a man who threatens to cut out his wife’s heart because she is “too English” will shortly become a loyal, assimilated, God-save-the-Queen sort of Englishman, dead chuffed to be enjoying some bangers and mash and a pint with the boys down at the pub.
