My wife was Deputy Head of an inner-city school which had a majority Muslim intake, and on occasions, boys came in with huge red welts on their feet where they had been beaten by the Imams and assistants as they knelt in prayer. My wife contacted Social Services to raise the issue, and was told that they would not go near the mosques because of the potential fall-out.
So, contrary to some perceptions here on AB, I would never dream of defending any Muslims, or indeed anyone full stop who is involved in cruelty to children.
The fact that this sadistic barbarism is rife in places of worship makes it all the more abhorrent, and the fact that those tasked with protecting children are too scared to confront the perpetrators is utterly indefensible.
That is a very interesting post for a number of reasons.
