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.
Still, if Islamic institutions ever face a reckoning over sexual abuse -- such as the Roman Catholic upheavals in recent years -- it could begin in Pakistan where institutions already are under unprecedented scrutiny by anti-terrorism agents.

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.The truth about Islam is always disturbing to the modern world. Even Muslims are shocked.
This world must wake up...Muslims are just people. They are like all the rest of us.
But the Allah of Islam...he is a liar. He is the Father of lies. His devout followers are the perpetrators of honor killings, of child molestations, of cruelty to women, and the enemy of free thought and free choice. Allah is the enemy of freedom and goodness and purity.
Allah is the enemy...he is not Jehovah, he denies the divinity of Jesus...Allah is evil personified.
Proof is in the pudding!

Well if the Prophet (pig poop be upon him) can marry a 6 year old, what harm is there in a little mullah rump riding?

The young boys are make the best camel jockeys then the Mullah perverts ride them. Very sad and adds to the level of inchoate rage in the Ummah (the Muslim community)
