I have heard of honor killings, and high rates of domestic violence in the mideast against women. I have wondered if this is due to the influence of Islam on the culture? Because if that is true other religious men within the mideast such as Jewish, and Christians would behavior the same way?

  1. Honor killing is no different than domestic violence. Westerners have given it a different title in order to make it sound lot worse than domestic violence, which is lot more common in the West than in the Middle East. But it happens everywhere.  


  2. I'm sure, Christians and Muslims have their own share of wife beaters, but their religious books do not allow that.  While honor killing in Islam may be classified as culturally based, wife beating is allowed in the Koran.  That's a big fish of a difference.

  3. In Israel it is a crime.

    If you do such despicable thing you will be arrested and thrown behind bars whether you are Jewish, Christian or Muslim.

    The Torah does not allow to physically hurt a women in any way or even to touch her against her will, neither does the Israeli law.

  4. Not really. It's a cultural thing rather than religious. Not due to the influence of Islam, it predated Islam by millennia

  5. im married to a jewish man and i will definately say it is the best. idk how christians treat wives, but im a princess to my husband, hes very protective and caring of me and his mom and sisters. i dont think women married to muslims even have rights. im taken care of very well!
