I’m not one to single out Islam for accusations of being violent or treating women as unequal, as there are other religions that are or have been guilty of this (Christianity for example). Nor have I studied the Quran and the differences in interpretation that can arise because of translation.

Additionally, I am always skeptical about what is written in or for the mainstream media in general.

All that being said, could you please comment on the article “Wife-beating in Islam, chapter and verse” that was written for the Washington Post?
