Giving a back-hand to your missus in the UK was a perfectly acceptable practice a generation or so ago. Spanking your kids is still done by many in UK. If you have read the Koran you will understand a little about the muslim culture and the way that women are treated -absolutely revered in most circumstances but treated poorly and allowed to be beaten "lightly" in some circumstances. Under some circumstances, some women are stoned to death in some countries. Domestic violence is defined differently also, along with family honour.
If you do not wish to open your eyes to the ways that other peoples deal with things, nor to the fact that we as a nation have not yet stopped domestic violence, I can not help you.
If he was English would you say that he hits his missus because it's part of culture? Because like you said it happens in this country. It probably does happen in Senegal (yet to see your proof that it's higher than England and part of their culture) but to tarnish them with the same brush it wrong.
So Al Qaeda are okay because it's part of their culture and they misinterpret the Quaran?
I do not condone anythign he has done. I say that there could be cultural reasons why it is not as frowned upon in their culture - but my main point is that, since 2004, none of those things have happened. So he has learnt. Yet some still berate him.
I despair sometiomes at the intransigence of some.
Just as Simon said (excuses the pun) there have been incidents since, which you seem to ignore convieniently.
I depair sometimes at the delusion of some.
