The institute will simply change its name and resume operations, maybe move a few doors down. That's what the Islamic centers here do whenever they soil their reputations.

"Islam does not allow children to be tortured. Teaching and disciplining them is one thing - but not torture."

Well it sounds to me like they are toturing these kids ..

That's what the Islamic centers here do whenever they soil their reputations.

Slowly the realization sets in that it's impossible to soil the reputation of anything connected with Islam. In the US there are representatives of so many major religions. Each seems to have some outspoken members that are a cross section of society. I don't know if it is the need to sell the product or what. Yet when some sect or member does something that is so unspeakable, other members will do anything possible to rout it so as to be unsullied by the sect or member.

What has been public in the last couple of years, at least, has been the abhorent aspect(s) of Islam (throughout the world). Yet there are entirely to few to Muslims - maybe none? - who have gone on record as denouncing what is manifest in Islam. Will that religion ever mature into something to make its members justifiably proud?
