What authority does a Christian man have in Western society?
Well, in all actuality the same as a Muslim man in Western Society.
Regardless of ones religious affiliation, if a man in the west beats his wife, and if said wife is predisposed to calling the police, and pressing charges, the man goes to jail. A muslim cannot appeal to Sharia to escape punishment.
I know a man of African extract. (By 'African' I mean he was born there, then moved here...with his family)
He was born into a devout Christian home. He moved to America with his Wife and after they had been here for some time, his pastor got a call. He was in jail. Why? He beat his wife...she called the police.
Now what you need to know as it relates to your question is, that this man did nothing that would be considered wrong back in Africa where he came from. He didnt leave marks. He didnt beat his wife beyond what was acceptable within the culture they both came from....AS DEVOUT CHRISTIANS...in Africa.
But here they are in America, the wife figured out she was not in the west. Devout Christian or not, you dont get to do that in America.
Fast forward some number of years. They are both still very happily married, they are both very devout in their faith.
The man does not beat his wife...
Christ and his church, nor Muhammad and his god have anything to do with what a man may or may not do in the context of their authority.
