Blind seven-year-old beaten to death for failing to learn the Koran

The parents of a blind seven-year-old who was sent to a religious school in Pakistan have told how he was hung by his feet from a ceiling and beaten to death after failing to memorise the Koran.
The parents of Mohammed Atif admitted that they had ignored their son Mohammed's repeated complaints about abuse at the madrassah.
Police in the Punjab province said that Mohammed's religious teacher, Qari Ziauddin, was now in custody charged with torturing and murdering the boy on Thursday.
Police said Ziauddin, whose title "Qari" signifies he is a mullah, had suspended the boy from a ceiling fan for an hour before he beat him. When he realised how badly Mohammed was hurt, he apparently fled instead of taking him to hospital.
The boy's body was not discovered until the next day when fellow pupils, including Mohammed's cousin, realised he had not slept in his bed. They searched the madrassah and found his battered corpse in Ziauddin's room.
An autopsy concluded that Mohammed, who was blind from birth, died of severe head injuries and also found marks of "physical torture" on his body. Police said the fatal blow might have been caused by Ziauddin dropping the boy when he cut him down from the fan.
According to the boy's father, the teacher had previously smashed him over the head with an iron rod, cutting him so badly that he needed stitches.
"We got the boy treated and wanted to pull him out of the madrassah but we decided to readmit him after the teacher said he would show some mercy to the boy," Mohammed's father Fayyaz Ahmed, 35, said. "We really did not expect him to go so far after he reassured us."
Mohammed was sent to the school eight months ago in the hope that he would become a Hafiz-e-Quran - a scholar who wins great respect by memorising the whole of the Koran.
"We kept pushing him to go because we wanted him to become a religious scholar," sobbed his mother Gulzar Bibi, 28. "We thought he was making the stories up like kids usually do to avoid going to school."
"We thought he would be the key to our emancipation on the day of the judgment," she added.
The killing has sparked concerns for the welfare of the 1.5 million students in the country's 13,000 madrassahs, which are regarded as potential recruiting grounds for al-Qa'eda and the Taliban.
In 2002 President Pervez Musharraf responded to international concerns by ordering madrassahs to adopt a more modern curriculum. But religious hardliners have stymied many of the reforms, and their refusal to allow state regulation has also seen the schools develop an reputation for child abuse.
While officialdom often turns a blind eye, the sheer brutality of the latest case has led the new prime minister, Yousuf Raza Gilani, to order an inquiry.
Police said the other children who attend the Qari Latif madrassah in Vihari, 150 miles southwest of Lahore, have all been withdrawn.
Investigators said Ziauddin had admitted the assault and claimed such brutality was normal. "We punish students who don't learn their lessons," he told detectives. "We used to get similar beatings when we were studying in the same schools. It is not uncommon."

Its's better to be killed for not memorising Koran than to memorise it, be brainwashed by wahabbi islam and in the end die and murder others used as (un)willing human bomb in "sacred shahidim operation". Islamists used cripled persons in this role earlier. But the only people desserving death are his prents who send him there. This kind of usless at best and harmfull "education" is worse than child labour.

Your argumentation is convincing. Althrough this Muslimes are totally nuts to kill a little blind boy for not to read. :(

Yes they are. Although like many of our Jewish comrades I don't pity any of them; muslims might be victims of islam too like in this case but honestly after 9/11; unless those mythicall moderates we''ll do something against "extremists" aka ortodox muslims or better still leave islam; I'll treat them all as enemies. It's the war und Krieg ist die helle.

And the Leftists want to have islam-studies in european schools too >:(

:) This is good. A muzzie beaten to death at the hands of another muzzie. It is better they kill each other instead of us.

Who gives a [censored]. I'm just surprised they didn't molest him. I'm also surprised they didn't strap a bomb to him and made him run into a day care.

They mostlikely did molest him, only it was not reported in the article.

It's good for the world to see how cruel and dangerous muslims really are!
But when child of any religion dies a cruel death... it should be painful for any human being. This poor little boy didn't ask to be born in such society and religion.
He was just a child, a handicap child. The poor baby had to suffer this painfull death just because he was brought to the world in such hideous culture they have.
All children are born with a clean mind. What we put in them, how we teach and raise them... they will become such individuals.
It's not fair to be glad for any child death, even if poor thing belongs to that nutcase deathcult, like an Islam.

I don't like Muzzies and wish the followers of this cult only the worse.
But this case is really sad. In Pakistan the people understand no "High Arabic". How should a blind child learn a foreign language teached by retarded teachers?
This is school from hell :(
