Re: “Maha Elgenaidi: Women and Shariah”
from Reliance of the Traveller, the Al Azhar approved manual of Islamic jurisprudence:
Dealing with a Rebellious Wife
m10.12
(N 2) It is not lawful for a wife to leave the house except by the permission of her husband . . . Nor may a wife permit anyone to enter her husband's home unless he agrees . . . Nor may she be alone with a nonfamily-member male, under any circumstances.
(N 3) It is obligatory for a wife to obey her husband as is customary in allowing him full lawful sexual enjoyment of her person.

Gee Jack,
To paraphrase Woody Allen, I've been doing all my own reading since I was forty.
Re: “Maha Elgenaidi: Women and Shariah”
from Allah, the Quran, Verse 4:34 (husbands can beat their wives)
"Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property;
the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them;
then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great."

Re: “Bad Friend Record Release”
Made it to this show and it was good to see Bad Friend perform again. Would have been better if the entire line up had been there, but Stuart and Joe Garcia carried the torch pretty well. I recommend buying the album (at Grimeys only), it's really good.
Re: “Midnight Movie: Xanadu”
Why do people always mock this movie? Have you even seen it? Or did you just google old reviews? This review is absolutely off base and poorly written. I can't believe you even write for the Scene.
Re: “Strange Material”
Some strong works and overall a good exhibit.
Re: “Grassy Knoll Movie Night: Badlands”

Best described as classic country with a modern twist!
Re: “Remasters of the Universe”
I've seen some of the artwork that is going into this show and it's going to be SPECTACULAR. Bring your wallet and your dancing shoes - the artwork is totally affordable and if the bands don't wow you, the burlesque cosplay ladies will!
