So Muslims schools
are in the business of child trafficking. Interesting.
Here's the part of the article that caught my attention--is the testimony of one child: "I must bring back 500 francs ($0.90) every day to my master or face punishment," says the tiny boy. He travels from his squalid daara, or religious school, in the distant suburb of Thiaroye to beg all day in the city center."
I'm starting to believe that most religions are giving God a bad name. In fact, the name of God's being mocked all over by the actions of some who claim to THE FAITHFUL. From the religiously inspired suiced bombers, to the child-molesting priests, to evangelicals who sit iddly while our Christian president lied this country to war (which has resulted in the death of over 150,000K--check www.iraqbodycount.net), more and more it just seems that religious people practice NOT the faith they profess.
