Wife beating taught
Saw an interesting blurb from The Telegraph: In the United Arab Emirates, the government mandates many Islamic teachings in their schools – including how to beat your wife, even if you are in an English school.
Harrow is a prestigious school (one of their grads was a chap named Winston Churchill) opening two campuses in the UAE.
Soon it will need to grapple with some new customs. Sir Winston Churchill’s alma mater is opening two schools in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) this summer, where Muslim pupils recite the Koran and learn about beating their wives.
Textbooks reveal that, despite the quintessential Britishness they peddle, many of these schools have been teaching pupils how to deal with “rebellious” wives.
Headings in one include: “First: good counselling”, “Second: refusing bed-sharing” and “Third stage: beating lightly”. The book tells pupils that the last step refers to “beating for the purpose of remediation”.
It says: “Its objective is to safeguard marital life against breakdown and maintain companionship and social intimacy. A husband is not allowed to hit his wife using a whip or stick or in her face. He is to use a siwak (small teeth cleaning twig) or a light handkerchief.”
Mandatory morality lessons in the UAE mean pupils at British private schools in the region are being fed propaganda about the greatness of the ruling Emirati, including how the country “empowers women” and “ranks first in terms of peaceful co-existence”.
Yes, really. Now, thinking all the kids get this – no, the ex-pat students are segregated from the Muslim kids for these lessons. But it is part of the curricula. And you KNOW kids share.
The chapter includes an exercise asking children to “explain why Islam made divorce the right of the husband alone”, and includes as an example: “Because he is more patient and tolerant.”Malaysia News
Tolerant… as in honor killings?
The main motivator is money, as usual – Brit schools used to have about 36 overseas campuses which could send money back to the parent schools – the article says there are now 163, sending back roughly 79 million pounds annually.
Reminds me of “The Quiet Man” when John Wayne is handed a “switch to beat the lovely lady with.” In real life, I suspect that a lot of American girls would react more like Dolly Parton did in “9 to 5” and threaten to “take my gun and turn you from a rooster into a hen.”
Hell, if it were one of my daughters and for some reason I was unable, I’d give her the loaded gun.

Hack Stone never struck his lovely bride Rosetta Stone. Not only because it is wrong, but eventually you have to sleep, and every woman in America knows about Lorena and John Wayne Bobbitt.

Well, it kinda worked out for Johnny…he had a brief career in the adult entertainment industry. For a low-rent dirtbag like him, it was like hitting the lottery. 🤣
I heard that he was a failure as a pr0n Actor because he fainted every time the Director yelled “CUT!”.
🤣🤣🤣
I heard at one time he became a snap on tool salesman.
Mr. Miyagi: “Snap on, snap off”
My ex used to tell me; “Go ahead and take a nap, honey. I’ll be in the kitchen sharpening the knives.”
The title of the course material should be “barbarism in the 21’st century”.
If old Winnie C were still alive, he would be calling for a new iron curtain to descend between these people and what remains of the West.
ESPECIALLY considering the quotes attributed to WC regarding Islam.
Being in the English school Harrow must have been a harrowing experiance at the school teaching you how to treat your wife like crap, and I’ll be a Monkey’s uncle on what are taught in those Brit schools.
Where do you think the verb came from?
