A mother murdered her young son and set his body on fire when he struggled to learn the Koran off by heart, a court has heard.

Sara Ege used a stick to beat seven-year-old Yaseen “like a dog” if he couldn’t recite passages from the Islamic text.

The beatings were so brutal that the boy died from his injuries, and his mother tried to burn the body to destroy the evidence, Cardiff Crown Court was told. …

No, it hasnt.

An example here and there of idiocy does not a conquest make.

Conway was also found guilty of drug dealing.

Irrespective of the effects of inbreeding on any population, I respectfully submit that it would be a mistake to attribute fervent Islamic radicalism to a lack of education or intelligence. There is something else at play here that is much more unsettling.

I agree with what you say..

I think that another sorry aspect of Islamism is that the "something else at play here that is much more unsettling" are those who take advantage of the victims of inbreeding.

Islamism's powerful faithful, mullahs and imams have their "72 virgins", their wealth and power here on Earth. They don't need the "heaven" urged upon the victims of inbreeding and the just plain poor and ignorant.

I do see a difference between Islamists (political Islam, sharia law advocates) and Muslims. I worked a few years with Muslims from Turkey including almost a year in Ankara.. years before the current Islamist AK Party government.
