"It never ceases to amaze me how self professed 'Holy' men of Islam, while using the Holy Qur'an as an excuse, abuse mere innocent children, to permanently damage them for their own sadistic sexual pleasure, like evil predators most caring societies abhor and strongly sanction through incarceration in federal prisons.

No wonder Western civilizations, such as Canada's province of Ontario, are rejecting Islam and the Muslim way of life as incompatible with our laws and constitution and 'religious' norms."

The writer fails to mention the abuse of pre-pubescent boys by preists and cardinals all over the West, the extent of which has only been revealed in this decade. These so called holymen of Christianity have been abusing young children with the tacit knowledge of the hierarchy of the Catholic church since the days of its inception!

As a American convert to Islam I feel the need to relay the other side of the story.

Kind regards

W. Boyd
