| A Muslim has been found guilty of child cruelty after forcing two boys to beat themselves during a religious ceremony. The practice has caused controversy in Britain, but this is the first case of its kind to be brought before a UK court. |
A case of Muslims being bad Muslims, or is it good Muslims, depends on which side of the fence you sit I suppose.

The ceremony is very emotional and people get very involved. At that particular time of high emotion it is very difficult to say no to a child who wants to do it

Well that's okay then, next time I'm at a wedding and some kid wants to drink my beer I'll buy them a few pints.

You can stop them jumping out a window? You can stop them doing this. I didn't realize Islamic parents gave their children such free reign. Bunch of hippies. |
