We thought that we posted this when MEMRI put up the clip in September, but we can't find it. And it's true that we basically do this post over and over again But this clip is worth noticing because it drops even the thinnest pretense about how beatings are done out of obligation or "for the woman's own good" - which is the usual excuse these anti-women bigots give. Methodical, pathological hatred of women:

He's Saudi author and cleric, "Dr." Muhammad Al-'Arifi, who in a remarkable segment broadcast on Saudi and Kuwaiti television in September, counseled young Muslim men on how to treat their wives... "Beat them," one of his three young advisees responded. "That's right," Al-'Arifi said.

He goes on to calmly explain to the young men that hitting their future wives in the face is a no-no... "Woman, it has gone too far. I can't bear it anymore," he tells the men to tell their wives. "If he beats her, the beatings must be light and must not make her face ugly. "He must beat her where it will not leave marks. He should not beat her on the hand... He should beat her in some places where it will not cause any damage. He should not beat her like he would beat an animal or a child -- slapping them right and left.

Saudi women, of course, can't even run outside to escape beatings - the sidewalks are segregated so men don't get icky girl cooties (h/t: Paul).
