[quote]1) 6-year-old boy allegedly assaulted by maulvi a week ago: Maulvis pressuring family to withdraw molestation case

By Waqar Gillani

LAHORE: Religious groups are pressing the family of a six-year-old boy, who was allegedly sexually abused by his Quran teacher, not to pursue a case against him.

2) Islamic education of children: beating and chaining?

Participants said that students, as young as 7-8 years were lured into sexual activities by senior students and teachers.......

One of the boys complained of sexual abuse against a teacher but his parents refused to believe him and returned him to the religious school.......

The forms of abuse range from molestation to sodomy and often, senior students are suspended on charges of abuse but are usually re-instated on someone's recommendation or through a donation to the institution.....

The respondents feel that children don't usually disclose because they feel that no one will believe them. Another reason for keeping silent is that they fear the teachers' wrath and influence as the teacher is given unquestionable authority over students........

Conclusion: So much for our paragons of virtue - the Mullahs.
