Sharia More 'Realistic'?

On the John Oakley Show, Imam Steve Rockwell (where did he get that Rock Hudson/Flintstones-eque name?) is telling the host and Barbara Kay that sharia law is the better way because it tells men, who are bound to get angry at their wimminfolk, to beat chicks lightly and not to leave any visible marks.

That sounds "reasonable," doesn't it?

Update: "Women are more emotional than men," explains the hyper-emotional Imam Rockwell (who has been known to scream at his radio "debating" opponents at the top of his lungs).
