I have read the book in the link you shared. I have the book in my book shelve. My daughter read the book. Thankfully, we didn't get our minds fried and turn rebellious against God simply by reading some man made up fables and stories.
Yet you let you mind be fried by the god book you read that was very clearly written by some men who made up fables and stories.

Alright.

Since you may not produce the link, I have to retain my understanding. Post over post the question was made clear as to whether Islam taught that or not. And you appeared to try to shift the goal post in a most absurd manner.
I can live with your retention and with what "appeared to try to shift the goal post in a most absurd manner" to you, especially if you refuse to use your own data and your own time to deep seek for the beginning of the wife beating conversation so you can see for yourself.

Do know that my own view of wife beating in the Quran, is that only an Ïgnorant "man who is any combination of immature, neurotic, lacking n self control, empathy or a real love for his wife. Just stressed, angry or high even" would learn from the Quran or anywhere to beat their wife or even sit in a mosque where wife beating is taught. And I expect the wives to have something to say about it too except in Afghanistan, where a lot of ignorant "immature, neurotic, lacking n self control, empathy or a real love for his wife. Just stressed, angry or high" men seem to exist.

I don't particularly see it as rude or insulting to point out that something is silly or someone is being silly.

Nonetheless pls be so kind as to link me to the post where this issue first arose. It might help with context.
Sorry deepsight, but I can not really be bothered because this wife bearing has taken up far too much of my time, and, moreso because I have a meeting in 10 minutes to continue a review of my old student's association's constitution. Maybe later perhaps. Though I don't wanna waste any more of my time on wife beating, to be sincere.

Do know that I don't particularly care if people are rude or insult buda, as i see it more of a reflection of them than anything they may rudely or insultungly say about me.

Some men sat down and wrote a book about a god they created and convinced you it spoke to them, and the Palestinians are not having it. And if you had bothered to read books like these, you too would have developed your mind to reason and understand the clues better.

The pity is that you obstinately and I think deliberately kept refusing to acknowledge that the question raised was never what you have framed. The question was whether such was taught by Islam at all.
That was not the question raised, and I forgive you because you might have missed what was framed.

The question was, does the Quran make Muslims security risk that should be assessed for risk at Guantanamo Bay before they are let into USA. And the wife beating verse was presented as an example of said risk. Like Muslims read such verses and just do what those verses encourage.

It is why we asked if the Muslim Mayor of London and the Muslim Mayor of New York or any Muslim you know beats their wives. Or even if Christians who read "Thou shalt not steal", do not steal.

We also presented examples of Uthman Dan Fodio, known for spreading Islam in Nigeria, advocating against wife beating and educating his own Muslim daughter, Nana Amasu, so no one can beat her, and so she can educate women to be against being beaten, but "smart people" want to ignore all the intellectual discussion that has occured ever since "beat your wife" was written in the Quran and argue that most Muslims read "beat your wife" in the Quran today and therefore beat their wives.

Thankfully, TV01, who is the only one who has actually admitted to having Muslims around him and in his family has described the sort of men who beat their wives, and no one has yet told me that is who most Muslim men are.

As for offending me. I want you to know that my opinion of rude and insulting people is they (may temporarily) lack the intellectual capacity to argue their position, and want to cover it up by engaging in an insult slinging match. It takes two, but you are now amongst those who hopefully realise that buda does not play that game. (I'll add, "often", because you might find the thread where I did play that game very ferociously indeed). You can not offend me.

Again religious books are history books unless you believe in talking snakes.

Any biblical scholar will tell you that the enslavement of Jews in the Bible and Quran never happened in history.
Some do believe that others believe in talking snakes, so they believe they beat their wives because of a verse in a god book.

They themselves do not love their own neighbours however, like they read they must in verses in their own god book, but I guess that's because their god book might not be as convincing as the Quran except when they are using their own god book to grab land.

THANK YOU, ESPECIALLY FOR THE BOLD.

Many people dont know or ignore the amount of Palestinians that had been killed that same year in the West Bank by Israel.
They do know. We have mentioned it here like a hundred times at least. But it does not fit their narrative, so they ignore it and beat their wives.

Israel was minding its business when Palestinan thugs Hamas went to kill them on October not military target but concert goers, boys and girls who went to party were graped, killed and burned.
No they were not "minding its business"!

Israelis were chasing non-Jews out of their houses and were claiming their land because they read in some book that their God gave it to a man named Abraham, or was it Moses? They were never quite clear.

Secondly, you now make it obvious that you have a school playground gang mentality when you talk about sides. '

I have no side.
Well, I'd definitely choose to be silly by refusing to let ben Guantanamo Bay Muslims as security risk at entry points just because some believe Muslims read a verse in the Quran and beat their wives despite none of you all knowing any muslim who beats his wife for any reason.

Many demonise we black people too by claiming we are programmed to rape their white women, and they don't claim we learn it in a book, its supposedly written into our dna.

Its not hard pointing to Trump's corruption. For a convicted felon, there is judicial evidence anyway and aside from this the man has literarily confessed to various acts of abuse of office for personal gain since he assumed office. That's why his wealth has vastly increased since he resumed again. Its just that the Trump phenomenon is so remarkable that he is strangely able to get away with murder in broad day light.

But why would I waste energy on the subject with people who would proclaim him innocent regardless of what he does. Those are the people that are really emotional and at least one of them never went to school - a ram.

Callling for international prosecutions of violent settlers who are “assisted, supported and inspired by government circles” as they wage a campaign of ethnic cleansing. Pogroms in Palestinian villages are reminiscent of those “once directed against Jews in Europe”, Olmert said.

This is quiet!

Israel has not prosecuted its citizens for killing Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank since the start of this decade, a Guardian analysis of legal data and public records show, creating impunity for a campaign of violence.

Attacks have spurred former prime minister Ehud Olmert to call for an intervention by the international criminal court (ICC), to “save the Palestinians and us [Israelis]” from state-backed settler violence, carried out with the complicity and sometimes participation of the police and military.

“I have decided not only to not remain silent, but to draw the attention of the ICC in The Hague so that it may take enforcement measures and issue arrest warrants,’” Olmert said in written comments to the Guardian.

Foreign AffairsRe: Israeli Knesset Set To Pass Automatic Death Sentence On All Palestinian Prisoner by budaatum: 4:59pm On Mar 25
It is not exactly "Pass Automatic Death Sentence On All Palestinian Prisoner", as op says, but still bad enough, since the majority of Israelis will find Palestinians guilty, and Israeli soldier can shoot Palestinians dead and label them terrorists afterwards.

Israel’s parliament has advanced a contentious bill to impose the death penalty on Palestinians convicted of terrorism to its final vote, after the Knesset’s national security committee approved the measure on Tuesday.

The legislation, initiated by the far-right Otzma Yehudit party led by the national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, has drawn sharp criticism from opponents who warn it would mark a significant escalation in Israel’s penal policy. Members of Otzma Yehudit have worn noose-shaped pins in support of the bill.

The measure allows courts to impose the death penalty without a request from prosecutors, and without requiring unanimity, instead permitting a simple majority decision. Military courts in the occupied West Bank would also be empowered to hand down death sentences, with the defence minister able to submit an opinion.

Dude, you can infer whatever you want and lie to yourself I implied it. Facts are,I feel young enough and I like my own tune on my own high horse despite it seeming to you that I'm lonely etc, and do not want to date half my age you and have you telling me I must dance to your tune.

In fact, you should be dating those your own age like the smart girl here does and stop pestering to date twice your age me while making it look like I'm begging you please!

Please know, Kukutente23, that the only thing I might need you for is diaper changing, which I already have done, but if you insist, the tune will be all completely mine. You can go play your own tune to whoever you want and wherever you want on your days off because necessity will make you polygamous.

Kukutente23:
I fully understand and appreciate that you are occupied with your grandkids running around you. I'm sure they will also teach you new words. But what you cannot do is to bring them up to your mental level as you wish to do for a man half of your age as that will imply robbing them of cherished childhood. For a man of your age though, you do not have to worry about his fate any time you find one (un)lucky enough to accept that you perform your magic on him.
This implies that the need may exist but you have not found the soberness, nay the humility to accept it and work on it. Or rather it may not be a lack of acceptance but more a resignation to fate as the wages of ageing is sometimes loneliness for those who may insist on their age being the grade that can only be accepted while all else below must suffer some form of transfiguration before they can be acceptable.
You may need to come down from your high horse. It's not too late to feel young again. And don't think the sweet plums of youthful vibrancy is beyond you no matter the physical or mental exertions of ageing

Sack who? McCarthy because I hope you don't mean Keane? I first learned of this story during Ted Lasso's run, the character of Roy Kent in the series is based on Keane. I know everyone took sides then but Keane's anger was justified, it was only misplaced. It kinda boosted my faith in the NFF that they aren't the only useless organization from a useless country, the FAI is the only body to blame for the entire mess
I do mean Keane. And that "misplaced" is what disjustifies him

Even his own team members did not justify or support him, and they went on to achieve more without him than they hoped for, which further justified his eventual exclusion, in my own opinion.

Below is him being the same jack ass all the way back in 91 for the under 21s.

When called up for his first game at the international level, an under-21s match against Turkey in 1991, Keane took an immediate dislike to the organisation and preparation surrounding the Irish team, later describing the set-up as "a bit of a joke".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Keane
His "misplaced anger" has likely contributed to him not managing the Republic of Ireland football or major team to date.

Roy Keane has expressed interest in returning to management with the Republic of Ireland, calling it a "dream job" and admitting it would "appeal" to him, though talks in early 2024 failed to reach an agreement. While considered a potential candidate due to his experience as assistant (2013-2018), his return is uncertain after criticizing the FAI's recruitment process as a "farce". - Sky Sports

There's the intermittent question that comes up about how Nigeria enjoyed oil windfall during Gulf War in the 90s and how we're not enjoying same now.
Some of us look back to the bigger more impactful windfall of the early 70s and consider it a curse we might have enjoyed not through courses of our own.

It's too early is the answer to your question. Payment is after 90 days. Though beware Nigeria has likely sold oil or used it as collateral in advance at less than current rates.

So you will mobilise people with infrastructure that you spent your money on, so that you can gain their votes? How is it different from the incumbent government??

Because anyone that does that so that people can vote for them is not worthy of that position. You don't have to wait for the gains before you give back to your people, let's stop this attitude of giving crumbs to the less privileged in exchange for 4 years of suffering.
Sir, please, I have a problem with the above.

First you claim I "mobilise people with infrastructure that you spent your money on". Then you accuse me of "wait for the gains before you give back to your people".

I think "mobilise people with infrastructure that you spent your money on", is not "wait for the gains before you give back to your people", since you are giving to your people when you "spent your money" and before any gains were on offer.

Yoruba me would say one is pouring water on the ground so one can walk on soft soil, while you are understanding the opposite.

An aspirant does not need my "experience and smartness", showboy2301, what they need from me is my one vote, and if they wrap it up here, they will definitely not get my vote even if that person was family much less a person from a different tribe contesting in my community.

You thank me prematurely, showboy2301, because you have not shown that you know how I think, nor do you know if I am reliable or not, and it is definitely not wise to assume that I can be a "first-hand information from a reliable source" of how anyone else may think.

Maybe I misinterpreted you but your initial statement implied that you considered yourself far too old to be available for a date not that you were not interested.
I assumed also that's why you presented a preference if choice was available to you.
I may not be available for dating because I am already occupied, could have been an equally valid inference you could have made from what you assume I implied, I'd have thought, regardless, you gave me a hypothetical choice and I hypothetically chose, and I hope you are not intending to compel me to date my hypothetical choice, please.

Kukutente23:
To think you can just educate up a man halfway your age to your so-claimed level shows a lack of appreciation of what men are. Even a gigolo will frown at such characterization.
That, is the deal, I'm afraid. There is absolutely nothing else I can benefit from dating "a man halfway your age" now. But if I'm going to he'd need to get with my program or go date some one elsewhere.

Kukutente23:
The question is not whether a person half your age wants to date you but rather whether you are available and desirable for such a tryst
First, I am not available. Hence my "not looking for", which you continue to choose to ignore for reasons best known to you.

Second, I do not do tryst. I did not do tryst at half my age, so wouldn't likely start doing tryst now.

And third. I do not consider myself desirable to most half my age, especially considering what you refer to as my "lack of appreciation of what men are", which is insightfully very true, since I do not appreciate much in particular about men my age or half.
