Perhaps they were about to agree that 'wife beating' is actually wrong thing to do, but after Femen's appearance they changed their minds...

Why are they even debating it? Why do we think that they should be allowed to even question it?

I think you may find that debating things is very democratic, western way of doing things.

It doesn't sound like running topless onto the stage of a private event is "abiding by our rules" in this case.

Is it legal to have a private event to discuss things that are illegal in the jurisdiction where the meeting is held?

They can debate all they like but the law should be obeyed and more importantly drafted into whatever religious practices these groups follow.

Yes, of course.

That's why you can have been meetings to discuss drug policy, assisted suicide, gay marriage (in the past), repealing the ban on fox hunting, etc.

This isn't Putin's Russia. People are allowed to talk about illegal topics, otherwise there would be no way to build policies that try to amend them.

"What does Islam say about a husband beating his wife?" is not an illegal topic of discussion if it's an academic debate rather an endorsement.
