The only surprising thing here is that the world is starting to notice.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) -- The accounts are disturbing: beatings, forced sex and imprisonment with shackles and leg irons. Abuse accusations from hundreds of children sent to study at Islamic schools are prompting growing calls from parents and rights groups for a full-scale investigation.
But officials have moved slowly and cautiously in probing the charges of mistreatment in Quranic schools, or madrassas -- pointing to a paradox across much of the Muslim world. It's often easier to tackle Islamic militants than to confront the cultural taboo on publicly airing alleged sex crimes and challenging influential clerics.
A documentary showing some of the brutal treatment of kids in madrassas, was discussed in an article on this site last October, and merits revisiting in the light of this new report. From that article:
...I will quote a recent post from the Iraqi weblog, Iraq at a Glance:
I watched a documentary movie on AlArabiya channel called ‘Madraseh Deeniyeh’, it means: a religious school, these types of schools are widespread in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and some on the borders between those countries.
The movie showed the lives of the pupils of this Islamic school, in the beginning, everything was fine, showing how life is so peaceful, and how those kids learn by heart the Koran for 2.5 years even when they do not understand a single word cause it’s written in Arabic so they learn it as it is, after those years the teachers begin to explain the meanings of the Koran to make them understand what Islam is.
One of those fierce looking teachers of course with unkempt beard talked about the system of these schools, and showed the reporter some of the parks while the pupils were playing volleyball with each other.
The teacher said: ‘we learn those kids the morals and ethics of Islam, how to respect the people, we are studying the Koran, and learn it by heart, the pupils here are so happy and proud of their future as they’ll grow as good men’
Till now, I asked myself: ‘so what?..what’s wrong with this system, since it is an ordinary school, and does not hurt anyone, let them learn what they want to learn, but without harmful outcomes’..
Pretty good so far. They’re teaching the kids to be happy and to grow up to be good men. But—the documentary continues:
But I knew that there’s something after this nice introduction.
The movie went on, and I watched some scary scenes, those kids were sitting and reading the Koran loudly and hysterically with rapid forward and backward moves and above this, the teacher was holding something like a small piece of a hose and was beating them while they were reading the Koran frantically!
And here the black face was shown up.
The reporter asked one of the pupils about his life in this school, and the kid said that they are there from the morning till late evening, they don’t do anything but reading and studying the Koran (according to their teacher’s way) for years.
Say what now? They whip the kids and make them hysterical, and this goes on for years? The kids are permitted to do nothing else, year after year?
And what’s the outcome of this?
Future troubles began to be clear half an hour from the beginning of this movie.
The kids were talking about the Jihad and how they are ready to be one of AlMujahideen, their parents were so happy with their ‘courageous and strong’ boys, and that they would get AlJannah (the paradise) sooner or later.
Then, the manager of this school and some also bearded guests came by (obviously the big leaders) and started to talk in front of a crowd of teachers and boys explaining how the United States want to spoil their youth and destroy Islam, how they came to Afghanistan to destroy and make an end to Islam and how they want to control the Islamic world and many other thoughts, and then began to shout and scream: ‘God bless our great leader Osama bin Laden, God bless our great leader Mullah Omar’ ‘Death to America’..’Death to America and her collaborators’ and the crowd replied in a louder and scary voice the same ‘great’ words of their supervisors!
That’s life for these kids in the famous madrassas.
The kind of ill-treatment of children described by Dickens in Oliver Twist, had nothing on these madrassas, which brutalize children in an effort to transform them into killers who seek their own deaths and the death of others.

Titan's of the Blogos,
See this comment I just posted in a thread at Roger L. Simon's in line with what the Gay Patriot is saying as well. LGF just had a similar thread yst.
This is the Achilles hill of the enemy in the GWOT.
The Blogos needs to drive this message home. The Blogos now has the power to carry this message. The MSM and the MRL (Roger's term for modern radical left) can't ignore this or justify this behavior.
These dirty little practices of the Islamofascist world are abhorrent and unconscionable to the majority of Western people no matter what their political leanings may be. This is pure Evil incarnate that has no place in the 21st Century.
This is no religion of peace as we know it if those who do these practices find justification for these acts in this religion.
This can be the unifying issue that causes the modern world to close ranks and to defeat the enemy in the GWOT and wipe this pathological ideology of hate and evil from the face of this earth.
