The point surely is, that if they had any respect for these children they would not be subjecting them to this horrific abuse whether the children were muslim or non muslim.

To commit these sorts of crimes against children the perpetrators must perceive them as absolutely worthless.

Jim.....you know my views on the sexual abuse by Catholic priests of mainly young adults and teenagers.
It is purely and simply homosexual abuse in most cases, calling this abuse paedophilia is quite wrong.
The celibacy rule encourages large numbers of homosexuals into the priesthood where their sexual orientation can be disguised.....and as I have stated before there is plenty of evidence to support the contention that many male homosexuals are predisposed to sex with yound adults and teenagers......Not paedophilia.
