Emphasis will be focused on understanding the correct meaning of the verse, with specific attention given to the words qiwamah, nushuz, and daraba as well as to understand how this verse is to be applied as a protection for women, not as an abuse.

Where are all the feminists?? They should be outside demonstrating against this! I think I'll send this to the National Organization for Women. You should all do the same.

But we don't know what Muzzamil Siddiqi said about the verse. Taken out of context and without the Talmud's discussion about it, the verse in the Torah that says you should cut a woman's hand off looks pretty bad.

Lauren: There's a verse in the Talmud that says that a woman's hand should be cut off??? But this is not discussed in any seriousness today!!
