France to expel second Muslim prayer leader in a week:
Bouziane, 52, from Algeria, was quoted by Lyon Mag as saying he favors beating a wife “under certain conditions, notably if the woman cheats on her husband.” He claimed that the Quran, the Muslim holy book, “authorizes” such punishment – an interpretation rejected by most Muslims.
PUNISHMENT FOR NON-MARITAL SEX IN ISLAM from Religious Tolerance (gist: implementation varies by region).
Of interest: the query punishment for adultery in Google.
Update: See Zack’s comment, I was probably a bit quick with this post….
