I can add that in the Netherlands it is 33%.

do jews do honor killings? deutoronomy is the law given to successors of moses. moses lived about 3,500 years ago. and i didnt hear any jew stoning any non-virgin.

oh, tami tami, i didnt know you read bible

 and how on earth this report can be reliable if most women in middle east and other eastern countries actually dont report DV?

come with those verses and also with their explanations

I don´t need the explanations for I´m an Arab, but for whose don´t understand

waiting...

maybe you should reread my post. I said it`s true that kuran promotes violence against women. how could I make my my point more clear? what Im saying is all the religions support domestic violence and consider women inferior.

and as for your first question, yes there are millions of brainwashed people who think christianity is a religion of peace and bible promotes equality just like there are millions of brainwashed muslims who think the same about kuran.

 I already gave one, a few pages back.

Of course it´s not a true representation of the numbers due to underreporting and other difficulties in collecting data. It does illustrate, in my opinion, the prevelance of the problem, but in no way the numbers are exact. You can only imagine how much more serious the problem is if you adjust for that. I have difficulty understanding what you find funny about the report at all, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

Biblical law, commonly called Mosaic Law or Divine Law, refers to the statements or principles of law and ethics contained in the Pentateuch or Torah, the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, which is incorporated into the Christian Bible, where it is called the Old Testament.

if you haven`t heard any Jew stoning a virgin, google it.

al nisa: 4:34

 Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them. Then if they obey you, seek not a way against them. Lo! Allah is ever High, Exalted, Great.

 What would ´we´ do without Wiki?

Personal question Tamikidakika: Did you ever read (a part of) the Bible?
