    Obviosly any case involving beating children is horrid, and there is no excuse, but blame the man, the flawed human being, not the religion.

    But if you look at the link it goes on to say
    Taking knowledge of the facts, local associations have unreservedly condemned this act of violence unworthy of a teacher is supposed to set a good example.
    and
    In addition, a committee of the provincial delegation of Education in Tetouan was dispatched Tuesday, April 25 at the scene to investigate the case. Similarly, the prosecutor general of the Court of Appeal Tetouan gave his instructions to determine the ins and outs of this dark history.
    So he is being investigated over this and previous times were this teacher has crossed the line.

    Believe me, I am the first person to view issues this way (i.e. from a perspective of cultural objectivity and with the use of caution when stereotyping a large group of people based on the actions of a single individual), but it's getting to the point where a story like this comes out of the Middle East every other day. It's not an "individual" problem, it's a cultural one.

    Someone should introduce her to the multitude of kids raped by Catholic priests.

    As it turned out, pedophiles were attracted to the Church, because it gave them great access to children, from a position of trust and power.

    Catholic kids were raped because they were subject to the sick needs of pedophiles. Not because they stepped on the priests' robes, or knocked over a chalice.

    Yes, there are bad people everywhere. But these two situations are simply not analogous.

    But its not coming out 'everyother day' infact this story is from April 2006, just becasue stories are being reported or debated around the same time does not mean they they are increasing ect. they were reported and delt with localy at the time.

    Is that so? Well then, tell us how was it "dealt with locally". What punishment did the jerk receive? How was the innocent little girl compensated? What condemnations and deterrents did they put in place to prevent future beatings, especially of females?

    I don't know how it was dealt with, but it makes clear in the link that
    In addition, a committee of the provincial delegation of Education in Tetouan was dispatched Tuesday, April 25 at the scene to investigate the case. Similarly, the prosecutor general of the Court of Appeal Tetouan gave his instructions to determine the ins and outs of this dark history.
    I don't know the result of the committes or Prosecutoring Generals enquiries, and wouldn't know where to look to find them.

    The point is, none of us know how it was dealt with, if at all. We only have a couple of sentences stating that it will be looked into. It is entirely possible that nothing was done. Therefore, it was misleading at best for you to claim that it was "dealt with" as though some kind of justice had been served. It could very easily have been window dressing by the local authorities, with no plan to ever actually punish the guy or compensate the girl.

    Mostly, it's sad that you would be so quick to put a positive spin on something so deplorable.

    Is it possible that this was the action of an individual and not an entire religion?

    Andrea Yates drowned her five kids in a bathtub because God told her to. Is this an indictment of the entire Christian faith?

    What makes you think she was nuts? God told her to do it.
    God has actually been busy lately -- he told a woman in Dallas to chop off her kid's arms, told another Texas guy to put his baby in a microwave, told a woman in Missouri to throw her child off a bridge.
    Christianity is getting mighty dangerous, is it not?
