I really can’t comment on the religion side of things; but yes, “domestic abuse” is still a far larger problem than many people think it is. The problem- in my eyes- is that we assume it must be mild-mannered women who get the battering.
Quite apart from the nature of the abused- people seem to be missing that women can also be abusive, as can men in gay relationships. (I’ve witnessed the former, and experienced the latter.) Particularly with the way women are often being viewed now as being physically weaker, yet socially as strong, if a woman throws a punch, a lot of men aren’t going to know how to react- and many of them sure won’t defend themselves, because that makes THEM the abuser, whereas we still somehow think women can’t be abusers.
I’m not saying domestic abuse towards men (in hetero OR homosexual relationships) is anywhere near as prevailant as the abuse towards women, but it should be treated the same. To my mind, we’re a long way off true equality- in next to no situation do we actually think of men and women in the same way.

Anyway, just some food for thought. Your article here is very interesting, and I enjoyed reading it.

I wonder why there is this dramatic increase between 2005 and 2007… 42% is huge! What exactly has changed in our culture and in how our culture portrays women? What were the cultural aspects that influenced the perpetrators and victims alike their formative years?
I think that if we figure out what has changed within our culture, we can reverse the trend.

Response:

What happened in the culture that caused this increase is the failure of the justice system to enforce rules against domestic violence, especially when a women has children with a man. Women are re-victimized in court. They are called liars, their children are called liars. When attempting to leave an abusive man, children are forced to visit with them alone and women risk losing their life, their children’s lives and if no one gets killed, the mom risk losing custody.

When society stops treating women and children (especially children) as property of the man, there might be some headway into stopping the violence. If a women could leave WITH HER CHILDREN and get immediate protection, just like a witness protection program, then most of this would be eliminated. Men would know that women and children would leave if they mistreated them, so it would be a deterrent.

Right now, any man with money can re-victimize the mother of his children in court until the children are 18 years old, and many do. They use fictious syndromes accused by hired gun psychologists to declare the mother an “alienator” and give custody to the dad and make mom pay support. This is another form of abuse – Maternal Deprivation – that needs to be stopped.
This is why so many women are not leaving the abuse. Since abusive men fight for custody of children, and women no longer get sole custody, they are forced to continue to interact with the abuser. As a result, hese deaths occur all the time, and will continue to do so.

Domestic abuse needs to be taken out of family court, and be treated in criminal court – family court is a kangaroo court where lawyers and bottomfeeder psychologists terrorize women and children, sometimes leading to death because the women is not listened to. The court ordered “evlauations” need to be removed – they rip people off for thousands of dollars and never find anything wrong with the dad. If the mom complains about abuse, she could lose her children and be declared an “alienator”.

In this women’s case, if she could have gone somewhere with her kids and left him, then she would be safe now. The piece of paper restaining order did not allow her to leave with her children. Instead she was bound to the area and her abuser by the court system.

Thank you Kate S. and everyone who worked hard to get this horrendous story in the media!

Violet: This story got legs because thousands of us including
Act for American sent emails, faxed, and phoned called all the major news channels. I personally sent 50 of these. This happened on February 13 and the media did not want to insult
Muslims so they ignored this story and instead ran wall to wall
coverage of the woman who had 8 babies. Phyllis Chesler,
Pam Geller, Dhimmi Watch, Jihad Watch and several other
blogs helped force the media to cover it. Now they just have
to stop making excuses for this barbarian murderer.

“Under Sharia law a man’s word is worth the word of four women, so a woman must have at least three other women or a man backing her up to stand any chance of justice. In rape cases, for example, unless a man openly rapes a woman in public there is no hope of securing a conviction because his word will always prevail.

For those who say the problem is NOT Islam, this is a MUST read.
