In reply to the discussion: Syrian Convicted in Germany for Throwing Children out Window [View all]Yo_Mama
(8,303 posts)78. You're very wrong. The father maintained that the German police are responsible, because
they barred him from his residence for hitting his wife in the face. Which, according to the father, he had every right to do. Which is in fact true in Islam - men are allowed to beat their wives if they don't obey.
The father suggested to the court that he be allowed to take his wife and children to Turkey, where they could live normally as a family without all this crazed interference, and said he didn't really want to kill his children, or hewould have killed them in Syria.
Here is as complete an English-language article as I can find to explain:

Agreed. "nothing compares to the mass indoctrination of peoples in authoritarian Muslim countries."

You mean the sort of Christians who kill their children by denying medical care?
