I wonder what Zan would make of this if Turkey introduced it in the occupied areas !!!
""""Turkey's state-run religious foundation has sparked public anger after publishing a booklet which approves of wife-beating.
The booklet, published by the Pious Foundation, which is part of the government's Religious Affairs Directorate, says men can beat their wives as long as they do not strike the face and only beat them moderately.
The "Muslim's Handbook", authored by a retired cleric Kemal Guran, also suggests that men are naturally superior to women.
It says that if man's wife is ill and he cannot afford a servant, he can take a second wife. """
