[Fred Nerks]

Islam paints no pretty pictures anywhere. I saw a documentary I think was made in Ethiopia, where a filthy old imam sat on the dirt floor of a 'schoolroom' teaching little girls about seven to nine years of age, the koran by rote in arabic. The poor little girls were bored out of their minds, they were looking longingly out of the one and only window - one had her schoolbag on her shoulders, she seemed ready to leave at the drop of a hat. The sight made me want to weep. Islam does terrible things to children.

I hear ya Fred, even though the image of a "filthy old imam sat on the dirt floor of a 'schoolroom' teaching little girls about seven to nine years of age" did set off alarm bells in my head.

It's what they do tho'... brainwash a new generation to recite the filthy book of intolerance without any critical analysis. Once you hear "Maktub" (it is written!) all further discussion normally ends.
