One of the hallmarks of Christianity is love for our neighbors and love for our Lord. Husbands and wives are also taught to submit, "one to another" and it has been said that Christians are known for their love, because the God of the holy bible is LOVE. Jesus is love in the flesh.
In contrast, there are many who practice the religion of Islam, that hold to some of the teachings of their founder Muhammad. One of the teachings, that many Muslim men follow, is the ability to beat women.
"Allah permits you to shut them in separate rooms and to beat them, but not severely. If they abstain, they have the right to food and clothing. Treat women well for they are like domestic animals and they possess nothing themselves. Allah has made the enjoyment of their bodies lawful in his Qur'an." - Tabari IX:113

Young Muslims who routinely harass female Christians mount assault.LOS ANGELES, May 12 (CDN) — Muslim villagers beat a 22-year-old Christian man last month for defending Christian girls against routine harassment and bullying, sources said.
Sipon Mondol was beaten on April 20 while returning to his native village of Nittanandapur from Gangni, Meherpur district, some 200 kilometers (120 miles) west of the capital city of Dhaka, his father said. On April 15, at a cultural event to celebrate the Bengali New Year, Poresh Mondol said his son had defended Christian girls against the slurs of a group of young Muslim men in an exchange that led to a gang fight.
“They were making some suggestive remarks to our girls at the program,” Mondol said. “Some Christian boys, including my son, protested against it. A brawl between Muslim boys and the Christian boys followed the protest. They tried to drag my son to their village by getting hold of his shirt collar.”
Please keep those who follow Islam in your prayers, that they may find the love of Jesus Christ.
