KEHRORE PAKKA, Pakistan — Kausar Parveen struggles through tears as she remembers the blood-soaked pants of her 9-year-old son, raped by a religious cleric. Each time she begins to speak, she stops, swallows hard, wipes her tears and begins again.
The boy fidgets with his scarf and looks over at his mother.
"Did he touch you?' He nods. "Did he hurt you when he touched you?" ''Yes," he whispers.
"Did he rape you?" He buries his face in his scarf and nods yes.
Sexual abuse is a pervasive and longstanding problem at madrassas in Pakistan, an Associated Press investigation has found. But in a culture where clerics are powerful, it is seldom discussed or even acknowledged in public.
It is even more seldom prosecuted, according to the investigation, based on police documents and dozens of interviews with victims, families, officials and aid groups. Police are often paid off not to pursue justice against clerics, victims' families say. And cases rarely make it past the courts, because Pakistan's legal system allows the victim's family to "forgive" the offender and accept what is often referred to as "blood money."

The story is about Pakistan. It is a small sample.
Wherever sharia is spoken, molestation of boys is nearly 100%. Why do you think it is so easy to turn them into mindless killers?
This wouldn’t happen if they allowed clerics to marry.....................oh, wait.................
No wonder the Left is so tolerant of Muslims. They are of one mind................

It wouldn’t happen if people molesting young boys were burned at the stake. The Germans had an old custom to deal with child abusers: They’d beat them to a bloody pulp and then have the child he abused stand on the abuser while they held him down and drowned him in a river. After that, the child was pronounced clean.
Old customs are good....................
Thank the Lord I and my family live here in America.
Coming from the San Francisco Chronicle, this could be a travel advertisement....
That said, where in hell do you get the Europe angle from in this? You do know that Pakistan is no where near Europe, right?
