i ve just read this artocle and ifelt i should say something very very important and i dont know if it was mentioned before cuz i have not read all the comment yet. something thwt may be started the whole trash talk here. and remember i dont ever wish or need to add , remove or change something from "qur'an" to pleaze whoever is he or she.
the word "beating" has come in "qur'an" in "many" different meanings and positions. for example there is "beating an example" wich has come in qur'an as "for example". thats one of many and many that i dont recall right noe. the point is quran came with very old defficult words that was in its time very understanduble in these certain positions in the speech but now such words have many definations that qur'an interpreters have been argueing about.
so back to the word "beating", qur'an interpreters have been argueing about this word's meaning in this position of speech, some define it as real beating, some define it as fixing the attitude without the physical touching, some define it as not talking to her. and some ....
so the main point is "how do we understand the word or how do we want to?" not the booke or the religion. "so it came back to a cultural issue agian" .the last sentence is my openion
so pleaze before knowing the facts dont jump to a irreasonable and illogical conclusions.
and i did not give my openion about this issue cuz its in my conclusion a cultural issue. i just dont do it.
