"Allah lets you beat your wife": Video of US Imam who claims Muslim women are not "oppressed"

The video shows that an Imam of the mosque in Sammamish, is giving a lecture on da'wah (proselytizing) to non-muslims and also talks about some "misconceptions in Islam".

One of those "misconceptions" is that women in Islam are oppressed, which he claims they are not. At about 8:00 minutes into the video the Imam explains that Allah commanded that men can hit their wives if they disobey or go astray.
