Crazy-Talk with Zakir Naik
Saturday, December 10, 2016 17:26
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
According to the Quran (4:34), Muslim men can beat their wives into submission. Muslim apologist Zakir Naik claims that the beating is only symbolic, done with a toothbrush or a handkerchief. But if the beating is only symbolic, how can we understand passages in the Hadith about Muhammad beating Aisha or a woman being beaten until her skin turned green? Anthony Rogers discusses the problem.

Thank you for that, some of it is clearly symbolic (to me) and laced with innuendo.
While I’m not trying to defend it, for instance, the part where it says “He struck me on the chest which caused me pain” could be referencing heartache as a result of her lies (the shadows, or darkness) being rhetorically questioned.
Anyway, I’m still an Azathothian agnostic.
Btw, an interesting bit of information, if it is to be believed, he is said to have more critics within the Islamic community than those outside it.
Perhaps he’s a reasonable man. I don’t really know him.

Some interesting information there, if you can read.
