I would have to dispute your claim that the ''majority'' of Muslims who live in these countries support attitudes such as those expressed by these Saudi clerics.

Your post is recycled hash.
These videos have already been discussed in great detail in other threads.
If you are not a disinfo agent disseminating anti-Muslim propaganda, you ought to be.
One day the Islamic "terrorists" will be hailed as heroic revolutionaries for initiating the battle against fascist Amerika. USA is the next Nazi Germany.

A source for this figure would be greatly appreciated. A source other than that poll of supposed attitudes in 5 or 6 Muslim countries which you keep on bringing up.
A survey carried out by the Indonesia Survey Institute found that 43% of Indonesians support Rajam or stoning for adulterers.[37]
You are from an ex-communist country; if I polled people about their attitudes towards communist ideology in, say, 1950s Czechoslovakia, then what do you think the results would be ?
People are greatly influenced by the culture in which they are brought up in, so there are bound to be more people who believe that it's acceptable to beat their wife, for example, if they are brought up in a country where the practice is condoned by their society's rule-makers.
So how are you going to differentiate between peaceful and non-peaceful Muslims ? Perpetrators of Muslim terrorist attacks probably only number around 0.0001% of the estimated 1.5 billion adherents of the religion.
It seems to me that you are just basing your negative attitudes about Islam on some personal, knee-jerk assumptions which you have made.
Increased efforts to protect women and children against domestic violence through the National Family Safety Program, as well as the Human Rights Commission, reflected a significant human rights achievement.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who is getting irritated at people continually posting unsavoury proclamations made by some Saudi clerics, and then tarring all Muslims with the views of these crackpots.

Well...i for one, am waiting for the thread that explains how pedophilic priests are sanctioned by Christianity, and murderers who confess to a priest in a confessional are not being 'harboured' by Christianity.
He who has not sinned,
Let them cast the first stone.

Pedophilic priests are not sanctioned by christianity. They are "sanctioned" by the leaders of the denomination they belong to because they are not immediately defrocked. In this case, I'm guessing you are speaking of the Catholic church. Not all christians are Catholic, and not all Catholics are christians.

Well, excuse me, if i didnt read the OP as you did ; but the subject line is 'Islam. How to beat your wife'?!
I would call this a scatter gun, my friend!
...and i do think that that Il Papas inaction on this front amounts to sancioning. If, as a christian, you disagree with his stance, or as a catholic, you disagree with his stance...protest this!
The OP does not single out individual, practicing, Muslims!
I reflected the scattergun approach back to the OP and was fully expecting to recieve a biased reply.
I am a catholic by birth, and i abhor any of this CRUD. As a Christian, i also abhor this CRUD. In the name of Christianity, Catholicism or Islam.
Akushla
Incidentally, your bias is showing, honey! I didnt see you defending the greater Islam against individual muftis and interpretations of the law. Get an argument, my friend. I have no argument with a closed mind...good day.

No. Your bias is showing. There are no christian programs on TV that tell priests how to molest young boys, or how to harbor a murderer. Because neither the denominations of the the church, nor the government would tolerate it. And in this country, the viewers wouldn't tolerate it either.
But it would seem that though this may be an isolated sect, it's acceptable with the other sects, and their government to air instructions on how to beat your wife. Big difference, "honey". In defense of their citizens though, I doubt they have a say in the matter.
I thought maybe I misunderstood your first post, but I didn't. The closed mind here is yours.

Unfortunately, we are all being duped. Some of us realize it, and some don't.
Now we are much closer to being on the same page. And I understand where you're coming from.
