Response: Hit women, not beat them up?? Darn how could I ever critise Islam?? By the way whats the difference?

>translated from arabic its hit......not spank or beat.

Response: Exactely how many times do I get to hit her?? By the way if that is the proper translation, then why do both my Qu'rans translate it as beat?

Moreover, all the arabic speaking people that I know always tell me that it is actually worse than beat.
