Anna, please also regard that abusive & adulterous behaviour are HARAM in islam; they are not encouraged by normal, respectful muslims / imams. When a man behaves in a trashy fashion, it isn't a product of islam, but rather of an inadequate upbringing & corrupt social influences. You will find violent, corrupt males in all walks of life, from Algerian Berbers to Pygmies.

If a man insults your character or looks, he is simply an a**. Yep, they're found all over the world, perhaps even next door to you. They're usually insecure & weak at heart, extremely empty and therefore use their religion as a superego, or crutch. I've known of domestic abusers from all religions & lifestyles. What causes them to behave in such a way? Well, it's a lot of things, they usually have power complexes, because they have nothing in their souls, sometimes they simply had mami & papi issues.

What a lot of the men we hear about on here are up to - is extremely forbidden in islam. Theft, fraud, adultery, hypocrisy, chronic lying - are all haram. And, if you want a good muslim man, it's best to find a non-hypocritical, educated, mentally-balanced individual... with a moral, loving family. Lying foxes are NOT condoned in islam, they are the jokers of society, please remember this. They are scorned upon by classier muslims, & are thus incredibly bitter towards the world around them.
