As much negative press as Muslims get, I have never seen a story about a Muslim cleric molesting a child. WHY?

Question

I HAVE SEEN AT LEAST 200 STORIES ABOUT CHRISTIAN CLERGY PEDOPHILES.

Answer 1

Because children are our future,we are not the children's future.
Children are so special in Islam because they will carry the light of Islam we care and respect them.

Answer 2

They hide their molestation, rape etc... and other violent crimes. All they have to do is tell a follower & their wishes are carried out. But to label all Christian clergy, all Muslims clerics as doing something would be wrong.

If a girl or women is raped... many times the courts will punish the victim because she was in a situation where she was alone with a male or they will say she asked for it. The judges protect the clerics. That is why we all need to be glad were in the USA... at least we have a better chance of justice for victims of violent crimes.

Our media is only now willing to print, report these crimes... in the 40's & 50's it just wasn't talked about. Kept huss, huss! While it's dishearting... not all clergy nor clerics are bad. The majority are very passive and true believers.

Answer 3

Well, if the Catholics controlled the press in the U.S. you probably wouldn't have heard word one about any molestations. There IS NO free press and any Islamic nation. It's all state run and state approved.

Once America leaves Iraq, you will not find Reuters and AP and other papers still there in force, so the news you get from Iraq will be the news they want you to get.

Now, this, by itself, doesn't mean there is hidden abuse in Islamic nations, although there could be, it simply presents a case for a lack of reporting of events.

Any situation where a "Holy man" can convince someone to strap explosives and blow up a hotel in a resort area, is capable of doing anything and getting away with it.

Inducing Suicide is the worst form of abuse there is. There are laws against suicide or assisting in it in at least 60% of the nations of the free world.

Answer 4

And what about when they marry a 13 y/o to a 40 y/o? As much as the Muslims look down on women, it happens. Just hidden very well.

Answer 5

Muslims also claim to have no prostitution, and this is because they have this idea called the "One Hour Marriage". if a man wants to sleep with some woman, he does an instant marriage, the when he is done he says to the woman "I divorce you. I divorce you. I divorce you." Thus, it is technically not prostituion because the couple was married for an hour.

But, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, to me it is a duck.

Answer 6

Coz they are allowed to marry so theyre not sexually friustrated.

and to the previous answer of christians blowing up...oklahoma bombing, and other bimbings around the US...they jsut don't get the bad press as much since its different motives.

Answer 7

Because they would never let it out. What do you call it when a man marries and has sex with a 6 year old girl. I would call that molesting. But the prophet in that religion did just that.

PAKISTAN
In Pakistan, three children were abused every day in 2004
by Qaiser Felix

According to the Society for the Protection of the Rights of the Child, 1,549 children were sexually abused in the country last year.


Faisalabad (AsiaNews) – In Pakistan, children continue to be sexually, physically and mentally abused and their basic and inalienable human rights are still denied, this according to a report published by Pakistan’s Society for the Protection of the Rights of the Child (SPARC).

The study, titled The state of Pakistan’s children 2004, reported 1,549 cases of sexual abuse last year; this represents a rate of three cases per day. It also stressed that the government ban on corporal punishment in government schools was frequently violated.

The situation is worse in Islamic religious schools where the government ban does not apply. Such educational institutions live up to their infamous reputation with practices that range from withholding food from children to chaining them.

The report also gives details about 529 cases of child abduction, 177 cases of child molestation, 8 cases of children murdered after molestation, 364 children raped (some sodomised), 264 cases of gang rape with 35 children killed after the gang-rape.

Answer 9

because if such a story was published, every muslim in the world would start to riot, as they do over every other supposed slight.

Answer 10

its their age-old dirty game of infusing wrong and false perceptions of Islam into the minds of readers and viewers. everyone knows that if they think about it. its just a matter of facing up to and admiting this ugly truth about the western media.

Answer 11

Because Catholic priests are required to be celibate which is what leads them to do that kind of crap.

I don't know about how that works in Muslim religion though.
