When a 10-year-old girl returned home from her daily Quran lesson with the local imam, her parents noticed she wasn’t behaving like herself. As soon as they looked into her mouth, they realized that the religious cleric had left their precious little girl with something horrific for them to find.

With each new violent and oppressive act, leftists assure us that the Muslim culprits are misunderstanding their Quran’s peaceful meaning. Although a book this easily “misinterpreted” to mean onslaught by millions of followers is enough to warrant its prohibition, the most devout Muslims are motivated by none other than their prophet Muhammad’s barbaric example. Thanks to its 1,400-year cycle of savagery, Muslim parents are still sending their innocent children to learn its hate-filled passages. Unfortunately, many Muslim children are more aware of Islam’s brutal nature than the leftists who dedicate their lives to defending it.

When sending his 10-year-old daughter Laiba to learn to memorize the Quran, as most Muslims do, Muhammad Shaheen was confident in the instruction of Qari Akbar, an esteemed cleric in Multan, the sixth largest city in Pakistan. Anxious to discover what she learned, Shaheen greeted Laiba when she returned home from class. However, what she had encountered at the madrassa was a “hands-on” lesson she’d never forget.

Express Tribune reports that Shaheen looked into 10-year-old Laiba’s mouth to find that the cleric had knocked out her teeth as punishment for her family “taking a holiday” during ongoing studies. Shaheen accused the imam of beating his little girl so severely that she suffered many broken teeth.

When he asked his daughter why the cleric had hit her, Laiba explained through bleeding gums that the scholar disapproved of her leaving for vacation in the middle of the course, despite it being her father’s decision. Akbar then struck the girl repeatedly until she spat out pieces of her shattered teeth.

Shaheen immediately went to local authorities and filed a police report against Akbar, which is Pakistan’s standard procedure in any criminal case. Shaheen’s complaint was joined by another parent’s allegation that Akbar similarly beat her son.

Najma Bibi told the media that Akbar beat her 12-year-old son Shami with a steel rod because he failed to memorize the prescribed scriptures. The boy had severe bruising and marks all over his body when he returned home from class.

Laiba’s family staged a protest against Akbar and the madrassa on behalf of the battered children in front of the New Multan police station. They hoped to pressure officials to arrest the imam. However, Muslim leaders are usually protected by authorities even in the most heinous cases.

Although many locals were outraged by the imam’s actions, no one could truthfully say that his abuse is un-Islamic. In fact, this very punishment was prescribed by Muhammad in the hadith, as recorded by his closest companions.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-‘As (0495) (also As-Saburah (0494)): The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: “Command your children to pray when they become seven years old, and beat them for it (prayer) when they become ten years old; and arrange their beds (to sleep) separately.”

These passages specify not only the ages for religious education but the proper punishments. In fact, it prescribes beatings whether the child succeeds in their studies or fails. The abuse is a means of brainwashing the children, making them fearful of ever leaving Islam. Of course, they’ll also learn that their prophet ordered that those who leave Islam should be executed.

This teaching is reminiscent of Muhammad’s command for Muslim men to beat their wives if they disobey. Quran 4:34 reminds men that Allah has given them authority over women so they must physically abuse their wives from whom they suspect arrogance. The final instruction is to separate their beds, as Muslims are allowed up to 4 wives, per the Quran.

Islam is such a fragile, illogical ideology that its founder had to implement the most brutal retribution to deter members from leaving. If not for Islam’s apostate punishment, Islam would’ve died out long ago. Instead, it’s becoming the largest religion in the world by spreading fear through both its victims and its own congregants.
