Is Christianity the only religion blamed for child abuse?

Question

The reason I ask is, some here on R&S say teaching little kids about the devil (Bogeyman) and god sending them to a burning world of fire, alone, for the rest of their existence is child abuse. I agree that it is, in the extreme, but Christianity isn't the only guilty religion.

My uncle sent me this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ2CAFCQGS0

It shocked me senseless to see the little Muslim children in the video! Not one or two youngsters, but hundreds and maybe thousands of little children are being heinously abused by the Islamic religion to recruit "kamakazi kids!"

I'm NOT being a bigot here! This is actually news footage and still photographs! Isn't this child abuse? Is this just teaching kids religious values?

Your opinions, please.

Answer 1

That IS a shocking video! It astounds me that old women are waving AK47's in the air in Iraq! If the church or the government handed an assault rifle to MY grandmother, she'd beat their butts with it and then smash the gun on the pavement!

It's despicable that these little kids are screeching, "Death to America" and wearing war bandannas on their foreheads and carrying rocket-launchers and ANY kind of weapon. They don't even know where America is on a map.

Telling a child there's a Bogeyman (Devil) is mild compared to handing them a placard reading, "Islam will take over the world." What a psychopath adult they are being trained to be! It's without a doubt ... child abuse of the most extreme sort.

These children should become the wards of the United Nations and be taken away from their Muslim parents. What parent in their right mind would let an Islamic cleric talk them into believing a woman is "special" for giving up her sons and daughters to be suicide bombers! These women are even proud of themselves! They call themselves "Martyr Moms" because they breed kamikaze kids. That's just SICK!

Well, considering that the FBI felt the need to investigate "Ritual Abuse" that was alledgedly being done by Pagans and Wiccans in the mid-1980's (although accusations -- usually, but not always made by radical "Christians" of the Jack Chick type-- STILL pop up and have to be debunked) I would have to say the answer is no.

Here is a link to a SERIES of 181 essays (organized alphabetically by title) on the demonization of Wicca and other Pagan religions by a POLICE OFFICER -- http://www.witchvox.com/_x.html?c=whs

Here is some of the ones that seem to exemplify the point I would like to make http://www.witchvox.com/va/dt_va.html?a=cabc&c=whs&id=4349

Answer 3

Islam, Christianity, Hinduism.

Answer 4

I think any society that does not allow children to grow and think about any subject is child abuse. My children are raised to think for themselves and make up their own mind about religion and life.

Answer 5

No... However, the 'Christianity'; which you have described is actually bogus / apostate. True Christianity follows Christ's teachings, and he taught what the Bible teaches, & the original Holy Scriptures do Not teach eternal torment - Anywhere!

Yes, it is abusive manipulation.
No, it is not taught or used by actual Christians.

War --is-- human sacrifice.
Using children in war, --is-- child sacrifice.

Answer 6

Child abuse is child abuse.

Here in America, we object to our own children being indoctrinated so.

Answer 7

Muslim Fundamentalisms seem to be even more nasty to children than Christian( or JW or Bible Protestant) or Hindu Fundamentalisms.

The Fundamentalisms of Stalinist and Maoist and PolPot Antitheist Atheist Communism seem to be the worst I've heard of from people who grew up with them and survived.

Answer 8

All religions seem to be at it. Just because that is so it does not mean that brainwashing at such an early age is right.

Answer 9

Every religion is blamed for something. I think we forget that our different traditions and culture vitiate our seemingly sagacious view of right and wrong.

Answer 10

you should have seen what atheists have done to children, you probably would not believe it. It was beyond abuse and cruelty.
EDIT: I am truly discouraged by the meager number of thumbs down. You little piss and moan b!thches can do better, no doubt. Until you have gone what I have gone through, shut your pieholes and wallow in your selfrighteousness... now... I NEED more thumbs down...!!! snap to it...
