How to Handle a Woman ... Mark Steyn
Steyn Online ^ | 22 May 2014 | Mark Steyn

THE WAR ON WOMEN ...in New York:

An elderly Pakistani immigrant beat his wife to death with a stick after the doomed woman made the mistake of cooking him lentils for dinner instead of the hearty meal of goat meat that he craved, according to court papers.

Noor Hussein, 75, was so outraged over the prospect of eating the vegetarian fare that he pummeled his wife, Nazar Hussein, 66, inside their Brooklyn apartment until she was a "bloody mess," prosecutors said in opening statements of his murder trial Wednesday.

Mr Hussein used "a stick that the family had found in the street and used to stir their laundry in a washtub". So, aside from a new wife, the poor guy now has to get a new laundry stick. His attorney says we need to be more culturally sensitive:

"He comes from a culture where he thinks this is appropriate conduct, where he can hit his wife," Clark said in her opening statements at the Brooklyn Supreme Court bench trial. "He culturally believed he had the right to hit his wife and discipline his wife."

Sometimes I think we’re headed to a new Dark Ages. Or that we only fleetingly left the previous one.

The real crime here is that this subhuman was ever let into this country at all. I don’t care if he did it legally or not. He should have been rejected at the outset.

Oh well, that makes it OK then...

I know that if my wife ever cooked me a meal of lentils when I had a cravin’ for goat meat, my first inclination would be to grab a laundry stick (?) and beat her bloody. I mean, there’s just so much a man can be expected to put up with, right? A homicide would likely ensue.

Our new Dark Ages is being spread globally by Islamists, as they steadily infect all cultures on Earth. One of the more prominent Islamists is Barak Obama.

There's never, never, never, EVER an excuse or reason to hit a woman. Ever. Except for one.

If she's riding in the car with you, and she's stepping on an imaginary brake while you drive, all bets are OFF.

On a serious note, the term "rule of thumb" comes from the English common law where it was legal to beat your wife, as long as the stick wasn't any thicker than your thumb.

And, for the record, I feel about wife beaters the same way that Sonny Corleone did when he caught his brother in law beating his sister.

So his lawyer is arguing that ignorance of the law is an excuse?

They had a woman Muslim lecturer in my old hometown. Someone asked her about the stoning and beating. She explained that those were their laws and said nothing about the laws being unreasonable...or something they wanted to change. The laws didn’t seem to bother her a bit. Talk about sheep.........

NOT MURDER!

Simply exercising his freedom of religion, is all. (Mega sarc as if I had to post that)

We really don’t want to be around this vile goat humping culture. Why do these foreign muslims want to be around us? Their culture is so backwards even they want to get away from it.

“Tolerance” to the left means acceptance of subhuman culture.

No, his attorney is basically arguing that his client's open contempt for the law is an excuse.

Self defense? That isn't an excuse. It's a legally accepted reason.

Not funny.

Hoax.

What about women who abuse their husbands, then use an openly rigged familiy court system to get away with it.

My wife is a better shot with her handgun than I am with mine.

I’m not hitting her with nuthin’.........and THAT’S the way it SHOULD be.

Muslim men are pigs in every sense of the word.

As deranged as that might sound to you, that is one of the cultures replacing Western Civilization. They can look at how they live and watch it spread, while Westerners pat themselves on the back about their gender equality while they recede into history. I was equally disturbed in a conversation with a Red Chinese woman living here who had no problem with the one-child policy...

If this ever should occur please ask your wife to let all of us on FR know where your funeral is being held.

The lawyer’s opening statement about “cultural context” is sickening, along with the fact that no MSM reports that I’ve seen on this incident bother to mention that the man was a Muslim.

If he were a devout Catholic or a Baptist you can be sure that’s all they would be talking about.
