A disturbing video circulating online shows a France-based Islamic scholar declaring that society is collapsing because men no longer beat their wives. In the clip, he insists that “a man must hit his wife to assert dominance and make her obey,” framing physical violence as a religious obligation
The remarks echo the same extremist ideology that has fueled Islamist movements across Europe—an ideology that pushes misogyny, clerical control, and the rejection of Western values. It also highlights how radical preachers continue to exploit Europe’s freedoms to spread views that directly contradict basic human rights and the rule of law.
Such statements draw growing concern in France, where authorities have been warning that radical Islamist rhetoric is spreading within certain communities and influencing young men. The video has sparked outrage among women’s rights advocates and lawmakers who say this is yet another reminder of the cultural and ideological battle Europe is facing.
