I would not say certain cultures are prone to domestic violence either.
Power CAN corrupt but that's not what we're seeing in these videos those are community and state approved punishments. Those cultures got that to be the case.

You can float that idea, but it's in the Quran and lots of Muslims take the Quran literally. Even if that was the case with Christianity The Bible doesn't give the ok to beat your spouse.
Since their inception Christians have used the example of Eve to make women subject. The whole idea of Sin, quite alien in most other religions, is one that Christians have always pinned on Eve. Christians believe in disciplining their wives in them being made subject to them, and them keeping silent. It is a core central belief of Christianity with many sections in the old and new testament there to support it, Of course not all Christians are like this but then not all Muslims are, but you are seeming to suggest that only Muslims take their holy books literally. That is quite obviously not true. You are very fond of simplistic reductionist arguments because again that is a very American Christian way to look at the world, it's not particularly sophisticated and just goes to show how much like Paul the complete bastard of a Christian that he was, has distorted Christianity to pander to Greek ideas like Logic, being the be all and end all of everything. That meant historically all kinds of horrific things like the Catholic inquisition being excused in the name of logic.
