Koran pledge not to beat wife
1:39pm Sunday 27th April 2008
Comments (11)A MAN who assaulted his wife told a court how he had called on his mosque elders to help sort out his marriage difficulties.
Mohammed Ashraf Adam told Hyndburn magistrates he had stood in front of the elders and his wife, had taken the Koran in his hand and pledged never to his wife again. And defence solicitor Roger Pickles said his client was well aware that if he ever broke his promise the Mosque would come down on him "like a ton of bricks".
Adam, 44, of Strathclyde Road, Blackburn, pleaded guilty to assaulting Nimmi Adam.
He was made subject to community supervision for 24 months with a condition he attends the domestic violence programme and pay £250 compensation and £150 costs.
Adam told the court how he had gone before the Mosque committee and confessed what he had done before telling his wife, in the presence of the elders, that he would never hit her again.
"The elders have told me that if there is any repetition they will support the police and the court," said Mr Adam.
"I turned to the elders for help because it is in the Koran that a man cannot hit his wife."

The chap whos article this is about has got his culture mixed up with religion, as is the case in Indo/Pak regions. Islam doesnt accept alot of things in todays society which is the case in the bible and many other religions (family values, rights, respect and cohesion to name a few).
You\'ve got to be kidding. This guy must have laughed all the way home at fooling the court. The Koran actually says TO BEAT YOUR WIVES! Don\'t take my word for it though, read it for yourself! It is found in Koran sura 4.34 which states: \"Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.\"

Nice try bandwagon.
We have been watching very carefully what Islam means. We dont like what we find.

Which sounds VERY SCARY,until you read a little furthe down the article:
"The elders have told me that if there is any repetition they will support the police and the court," said Mr Adam
Which just says that the slimy wife-beating lowlife will get his ickle wristies slapped like every other maggot that goes through the judicial system in this god-forsaken country.
You aren't fooling anyone with your quivering bottom lip and promises that you will change,Mr Adam;you are like every other man that beats up on his wife:a lowlife scumbag who will lie through his teeth to get away with it...
