Is it ok for muslim imam to molest children?

Philippines
July 21, 2010 9:50am CST
I have a cousin who was molested by an imam in our community. The muslims say that my cousin should be proud that the imam liked him. That the imam planted his seed inside my cousin. Is this acceptable in islam? I think this is what the Koran teaches muslims, also because a muslim religious leader engages in such acts. Thus we can expect ordinary muslims to think and act like that as well. Islam is such a sick religion.

What is your cousin's name?? what is the imam's name.. If your true in your Story you will surely reply this answer.. DON'T BE SO STUPID! What you were doing after listening to your cousin?? you should have reported to police instead on mylot! Simply making a issue to Earn more??? try different methods avoid this kind. By the way, which religion do you belong??? If your Religious leader engages this act with my cousin what should i do?? Do I have to blame RELIGION or RELIGIOUS LEADER.??????????????? DON'T BLAME ANY RELIGION BY ITS FOLLOWERS.. there are thousands of followers of every religion... IF YOU REALLY WANT TO JUDGE THE RELIGION THEN REFER ITS RELIGIOUS BOOKS/SCRIPTURES AND NOT ITS FOLLOWERS. THEN ONLY YOU SHOULD MAKE A STATEMENT ABOUT RELIGION SIMPLY DON'T BLAME.. In every religion there are some black ship community.. who always do some wrong activities but through this i cannot blame any religion.. FOR EX:If Christians do any wrong activity for that i cannot blame Christianity.. the followers may be on wrong side, you correct the followers!!! If really the imam has done such act, then this act should be discouraged..and this not the act to be proud of.. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH IN RELIGION AND I FOUND ISLAM THE ONLY TRUE RELIGION, AND I DIDN'T FOUND A SINGLE STATEMENT AGAINST HUMANITY IN IT. this kind of act is not acceptable in Islam AND this kind of act is FORBIDDEN in ISLAM Koran doesn't teaches this kind of acts.. HOW IS ISLAM A SICK RELIGION CAN YOU PROVE ME THIS IF YOU DARE!!!??? I CHALLENGE YOU TO PROVE YOUR STATEMENT 'ISLAM IS SUCH A SICK RELIGION'!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for your replies, of course i reported this to the police and in fact they are looking for this child-molesting imam. Why should i tell you the name of my cousin and the imam? What good would that do? How would you feel if your sister, wife or mother gets raped by your imam? Would you feel happy? I'm not doing this to earn money, how much would i earn from 1 post. I am muslim or used to be muslim and now i believe that islam is such a sick religion because prophet mohammed also abused kids. If you do not believe my issue that is ok. But i am happy that you agree with me that mohammed truly was a sick pervert and the koran should be torn and used as toilet paper in public toilets. Good day!

Well i totally agree with you eduTreasure and you r claim that letranknight that you are a muslim i do not think so. You are simply claiming such thing on mylot to make money i do not think that this story is true their is a possiblity that your cousin was forced but the community saying that it is good is not believeable because as you can even see here no one has said so and why did you not go to the police i am sure their are laws that would punish this imam and as far as blaming Islam well I know one thing for sure and that is that no religion in this world asks its followers to do wrong. You simply do not know about Islam and i also think that if this a true story (your cousin being raped) I believe you like your cousin and you could not do the right thing and that is call the police and now you are doing what a weak person does and that is moan about it somewhere where it would not make a difference and blaming the religon instead of the person who is actually responsible. You are trying to spread heatred for Islam for what ever reason i do not know.

My heart goes out to your cousin and nobody should have undergone this kind of molestation especially that it was done with an imam. I condemn this kind of act which is pure evil. But i don't condemn the whole religion of Islam. I am a catholic yet i have personally known some Muslim people in my areas who would never do such an evil thing...they are generally God fearing and very religious people. I hope this is only an isolated case. It is only an evil act done by one human who happens to be a Muslim. He should be brought to justice and be punished according to the laws of the land. But let's not condemn other people regarding with this. I hate Muslim people who done such an evil act but I also admired Muslim people who is generally good. Peace to everyone...

why you condemn the religion of Islam??? If you want to condemn, then condemn the act and that particular people. If suppose Christian has done this act, then whom do i condemn??? Christianity or that particular christian who has done it??!!

Learn to compare first, if you mean such then, yes! not to mention he will face angry crowd.. angry crowd doesn't make Judgments.. it is the judge who make Judgments and Judge doesn't see the angry crowd for Justice..!!!!!!!!!!! But he sees the judgments which are just!!!

You do not have to read too much of the koran to know how sick it really is. I read enough of it to know that I didn't need to read any further. Apparently, it teaches other things that just to kill anyone who will not convert to islam...

what the fk kinda crap are you spouting?? An imam molesting a kid is no different than a priest doing it, it's just the people in your community that are retarded, don't insult islam when you should be insulting the sick b@stards around you.

Thanks for agreeing with me that this is a sick act. Yes, it is also sick for stupid priests who molest kids. It happens in all religions i guess. But since i am muslim and it happened to a fellow muslim by imam who is looked up as spiritual leader, it becomes more revolting.

I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure the islamic religion doesn't condone molestation. What happened to your cousin was horrible, but I don't believe it's a common practice that is taught to muslims. Catholic priests have molested children, but the Catholic church doesn't condone it or tell their priests to do it I don't think. It's just horrible things that happen because these people are sick, really really sick and their religion has nothing to do with it.

She should be proud because some sicko forced himself on her and now she's carrying a child? Sorry, no, that's just sick. And I'd venture to say that the majority of muslims would agree with me.

Ofcourse it is haram to touch and even look with such intension at anybody other than his wife. He has commited sin and it is very sad to hear that people think it as a good sign. It is so low of such a person to engage in acts like this, he should be removed as an imam. May Allah forgive his sins and to those who think it was a sacred act. It is contradictory to what is said in Quran and you should not abuse people or religion as a whole without actually reading or knowing what is in it.

I think the Imam is sick and the people who said that your cousin should be proud for being chosen by the Imam are sick, too. I don't know why these people confirmed the Imam 'sick" behavior. Where did they get this thought from? Who taught them such a belief? Living in Indonesia where the most of the citizen are Moslem, I notice some leaders who abused their authorities, too.
