Oklahoma Rep. To Visiting Muslim Students: 'Do You Beat Your Wife?'

Source: Talking Points Memo


By ALLEGRA KIRKLAND Published MARCH 4, 2017, 12:17 PM EDT

A group of Muslim high school students attempting to meet with a Republican Oklahoma lawmaker were asked to complete a survey about their adherence to Sharia law that included questions like, “Do you beat your wife?”

State Rep. John Bennett (R) confirmed to the Tulsa World in a Friday email that he asked three students who stopped by his office during an annual “Muslim Day” event at the Capitol to complete the questionnaire.

"CANT REFUTE FACTS!" Bennett told the World. "According (to) her testimony in the Hadith (a collection of Muslim sayings and traditions), Muhammad physically struck his favorite wife for leaving the house without his permission.”

Bennett has in the past referred to Islam as a “cancer” that is “not even a religion.” Last year, he received the “National Defender of Freedom Award” from the Center for Security Policy, one of the country’s largest anti-Muslim groups. He ultimately did not speak to the visiting students, according to the World.

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Colossians 3:18; cf. 1 Peter 3:1 and Ephesians 5:22

I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man ... For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man. For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. 1 Corinthians 11:3 and 7-9

Let your women keep silence in churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. 1 Corinthians 14:34, cf. 1 Corinthians 11:3-9 and 1 Timothy 2:11-12

And christinsanity is not a "cancer" as well? I hate these mother fuckers with a white hot passion. No negative karma is to cruel or awful for these bastards.

based on nothing but a story. Oh wait, that's the bilble too lol. I ran rings around myself logically. But that is what happens when trying to make sense out of any religious belief.

And then didn't meet with them after all. He just wanted examples of their handwriting for future terrorist investigations.
