Two major Islamic sects believe in it, one doesn't. Your interpretation is obviously the healthier one, but if it doesn't reflect the beliefs* of popularized Islam, and you're only taking a stand against it with outsiders, instead of your own offending community.... it marginalizes the relevance of your interpretation, here. We agreed that one needs to work off the Arabic text... but now you can't blame the translation, these are Muslims making these claims.

*By beliefs, I mean, they will argue with rational for these verses, even if it means the inadvertant roundabout defense of pedophilia.
I'm not saying they engage in the behavior themself, though they do allow their clerics to license it.

By the way - It doesn't sound like Hindi was a Jew. Can you see how calling a "liver eating vindictive woman" a Jew when she wasn't, is derogatory to Jews, and promotes anti-Jewish sentiments?

I can't converse with you in Arabic. I was born in the States, and heard a mix of Hebrew, and Judeo-Arabic growing up. That's about it.
