Bolded emphasis mine.


Look, as long as Muslims aren't breaking laws, then they are entitled to their religious practices. Same with Christians, Jews, Hindus, whomever. If you want to take away a Muslim's right to practice their faith because it disturbs you, then be prepared for someone to take away yours. The USA is a nation of freedoms, sometimes that has consequences that you may personally dislike, but oh well, that's the way it goes. You don't get to pick and choose who has constitutional rights and who doesn't.
My opinion, it is child abuse, plain and simple. You have, your opinion.

Thank you for sharing yours.

You're welcome. I'm sure you'll understand if, as entitled to it as you are, I dismiss your opinion as not worthy of consideration since you're either unwilling or unable to explain it. Did you not expect rational discussion or questions when you posted the link?

So, what do you think about children of snake handlers?

What can you say to someone with a hardened heart......nothing.

This thread is for those of you unaware, as I, of this taking place.

There have been plenty of threads telling of Christian abuses towards children...this one tells and shows Muslims abusing their children.

I have nothing further to add, other than I am saddened to see children being abused.

This is the practice of the Shia in Iran and now it appears they will be able to do this in America. If an Atheist family or any other religious family did this to their child, well....

America is not Iran. If that pic is what it appears to be that can't happen in the US without criminal repercussions.

Allowing your child to watch a flagellation ritual, noncriminal. Cutting your child with a knife, criminal. Although I understand fear mongering is all the rage these days, this really isn't hard to understand.
