Salma would put on a brave face when her teacher hit her with a cane for mispronouncing Arabic words. But then came tears
When Salma's name was called out by her madrassa teacher during Koran class, it was often only a matter of seconds before she felt a stinging pain on her back, her buttocks, or her palms.
At times she'd frown and put on a brave face when her teacher laid into her with a cane for mispronouncing Arabic words or forgetting a verse. But in most cases the staged bravery would give way to tears.
After the punishment, Salma, then 12, would join her dozen or so female friends, who would be seated in a circle in their Asian teacher's living room - which doubled as a madrassa on weekday nights - awaiting their own name to be called.
“We would sit in the circle and read and he would walk around and hit you if you were talking or chattering to your friends or getting the words wrong,” said Salma, now 16. “He hit everyone there at one time or another,” she said. “The madrassa was in a house - boys in one room, girls in another.”

What continues to amaze is the enthusiasm of our Marxists for these fanatical nuts who want to bring back the 700’s.
What happened to their “science of history” wherein everything was “progressive.”
They are certainly doing everything they can to undo Attaturk’s revolution.
We should have taken away the oil weapon 20 or more years ago and put a stop to this blind belief based on oil wealth that reviving the practice of pagan tribes in the 700’s is “good” and should be the only goal in the world because Allah gave them oil.
We need to do it now and stop monkeying around.
If a Brit parent caned their child they'd be facing charges.
Britain is doomed.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing this morning. We should do all we can to make the dictums of OPEC worthless, by drilling for every drop we have here. Build nuclear plants, Mine coal, process shale, etc. Get it done, no matter how cheap oil and petrolium products may be now, they WILL go up through the stratosphere again... Bank on it.
If the Islamobots cannot sell their oil to the U.S., they loose a LOT of money... Less money, less power. They have nothing of worth as a civilization, except oil. Everything of civilization they do have, was pillaged from somewhere else. We should not supply them with spare parts for their desalinization plants. Let the Muzzies drink their oil and eat sand.
And our own surrender to politically correct insanity is no more than ten years behind the UK.

But we won't because the democrats want us weak (and poor, except for themselves) and dependent upon our enemies for oil. The last thing the democrats want for us is energy independence just as they last thing they want is for kids to be properly educated.
After a lifetime of enduring crap like this, no wonder your average Muslim not only hates the world but looks forward to blowing himself up as his ticket to paradise.
Nothing of worth as a civilisation...how can you say that?
Arabic muslim culture developed Ice Cream!
Mind you, we do have the recipes now...
