People should follow the laws of the land they live in, provided those laws are just. I'm a big fan of civil disobedience in the form of peaceful protest when laws and practices are unjust.
I wholly condemn domestic violence in all its forms. I'm just not biased or naiive enough to think that it is limited to Islamic countries or communities. The only line of the Bible I really, truly like comes from Matthew 7:3.
We "moral liberals" should worry about the log in the eye of our civilization before we start asking our brothers and neighbors to take care of their own. To expect people to convert culturally when we are just as guilty in practice of violence against women.... well... it's hypocritical. You can still point out the log they are rockin, sure... but you shouldn't hold yourself/your culture up as an example for how to behave, either.
