Hmmmm Islamically what I've read in the Quran only refers to self defence against a volatile partner...
I guess interpretation of volatile is where they fall short on the grey matter.

Who knows? It may be as Boeing says that they were using Hadiths to justify smacking their bitches up.
Not nice people either way.

Yes the Hadith will lead to Islam's demise unless there is a reformation back to Quranic teachings.
Boeing's posts are on point when it comes to their influence in the darker aspects of the Faith.
Oppression is the cruel act of unjustly afflicting any kind of burden on someone - mental, emotional, or physical. It is a form of abusive behavior that results in a variety of impacts based on the burden and the integrity of the moral, social, and psychological structures of the victim. Oppression is by all measures a condemned bad behavior and a violation of the laws of justice in the Quran.
[Quran 55:7] He constructed the sky and established the law.
[Quran 55:8] You shall not transgress the law.
[Quran 55:9] You shall establish justice; do not violate the law.
[Quran 7:33] Say, "My Lord prohibits only evil deeds, be they obvious or hidden, and sins, and unjustifiable aggression, and to set up beside God powerless idols, and to say about God what you do not know."
[Quran 16:90] God advocates justice, charity, and regarding the relatives. And He forbids evil, vice, and transgression. He enlightens you, that you may take heed.
Justice, mercy, and compassion are three of God's attributes. God teaches us throughout Quran how to adopt these three attributes to our behavior so we do not turn into oppressors. Because of God's mercy, compassion, and justice, He doesn't oppress us by burdening us beyond our means. He knows exactly the extent of our limits. His expectations are always within our capacity. This sets a divine example for us. We are supposed to learn from this divine wisdom and practice justice, compassion, and mercy with each other and band against cruelty and oppression.
[Quran 23:62] We never burden any soul beyond its means, and we keep a record that utters the truth. No one will suffer injustice.
Based on the emotional and general stability of the oppressed, the persistence of hurting someone might cause a minor distress to fluctuate to a deep sense of disappointment, sadness, and pain, severe struggle, and mental disorientation. In some cases, this can progress to the point of losing focus, logic, and the ability to make decisions. In others, we give up our freedom, change our stands, and get forced in a certain direction or another due to helplessness, brain-wash, or fear of those in power. Therefore, oppression is a violation of freedom which is God's given right to all humans (33:72). It is a gross injustice to the soul of the oppressor and the well-being of the oppressed.

Never thought of that.

When I read some of them I couldn't believe they were associated with the same Book I take to heart.
The disparity is immense.
I'm completely convinced some would even attack the Prophet Jesus if he was walking the Earth right now!

No doubt my brother, not a day goes by reading ATS alone that I don't wonder about how people would treat Jesus in this day and age.
He'd be shunned by most of his followers as a progressive liberal bleeding heart...
I'd give him a high five and bid him Salam.
