An Egyptian teacher of Arabic language whipped a 10-year-old Coptic Christian boy with 40 lashes using an electric wire last week in a Cairo school.
The doctors who later examined the boy’s wounds “could not believe that a teacher could do this,” said the child’s father.
The incident occurred on October 21, during the Coptic student’s last class of the day, Arabic language. Then, the teacher told the pupils to remain silent until they had copied all the Arabic phrases he had written on the board. When Babawi, the Coptic boy, asked the student in front of him to move his head so he could see the board, the teacher proceeded to lock the door and flog the Christian boy 40 times with a large electrical wire all over his body.
According to the father, who spoke with MCN, the boy received a “fatal beating.” He passed out and was drenched in his own blood. After being inspected by doctors, he was also found to have damage to his bones and kidney.
No one from outside seemed to hear the boy’s continuous screams and the other students were too afraid to intervene said the father, who works as a security guard.
Because the Koran is the basis for Arabic language studies in Egypt, it is likely that the Arabic phrases on the board were derived from Islam’s holy book. In this context, perhaps the teacher became especially irate because, of all students, it was the “lowly” Copt who was being “blasphemous” by talking.
Interestingly, a few weeks earlier, Ibrahim Eissa, an Egyptian television personality, made some remarks relevant to this case.
After pointing out that it is good to teach the Koran to Coptic Christians in public schools, as it is essential for mastery of the Arabic language, Eissa said: “But here we come to the real question: Why isn’t Christ’s Sermon on the Mount, as recorded in the Gospel—which is one of the greatest and brightest of statements, full of wisdom and justice—also being taught?”
He then stressed that, if Copts should be taught the Koran, so should Muslims learn from the New Testament: “And if you disagree, then you are unjust, unfair, and unpatriotic.”
Knowledge of Christ’s Sermon on the Mount may have gone a long way in restraining the Arabic language teacher’s violent rage.
The abused Coptic boy’s father has since filed a report with police, spoken to school authorities, but, according to him, “Until now, no legal steps have been taken against the teacher.”

A sad moment of Islamic supremacy showing off on a so young “kuffar” in pain and blood…. Let´s pray for the swift recovery of this senselessly beaten boy.

that he gets away with it is the biggest lesson the kids learn.

Unrestrained savagery. This is why western civilization must fight to defend itself from such barbarity
doucyet says
If the boys father had any balls he “disappear” that teacher.
Steve Crawford says
The teacher who beat that boy needs a serious amount of whopass. The boys family should strip the teacher naked and beat his azz 41 time.
JFKAR says
If he did that, the boy would soon be fatherless.
doucyet says
Not if he did it right…………….

My husband probably would have said the same thing. But, we do have to leave him to God’s judgement.

Raymond, what is the state of the legal system in Egypt?
The article says that the police have done nothing so far and that “no legal steps have been taken against the teacher.”
What is the likelihood of this “teacher” facing criminal charges? If he did face criminal charges, would there be any serious consequences for him? What is the realistic prospect of civil legal action by the boy and his family for damages, pain and suffering etc? Would the school, the school board (assuming there is such a thing in Egypt), the Ministry of Education etc be liable for damages in the Egyptian judicial system?
Can Copts, and non-Muslims in general, expect fair treatment in Egypt’s judicial system?

Perhaps Christian vigilantism may be the only solution to reprimand and revenge this teacher and particularly Imams who spread the hate of Islam.

Start with SALT in his car’s gas tank. Slash his tires. BUG the heck out of him.
Craig Tarter says
Start with a tank ON his/her car…and you’re done. Providing SHe’s in the car as you “tank” it of course.
denis says
What do you do with his camel. I am sure he probably does not have a car.
channah1973 says
Christian vigilantism would be very dangerous for the local Christian community. Muslims are much more numerous and connected to power there. It would set off a wave of even more and more virulent persecution.

People will never understand, but I feel Saudi Arabia is doing some kind of mass mesmerism/hypnotism on the world that their savagery never comes to light. Perhaps it is in controlling the media with their petrodollars.

no pics? We were hoping to see a mangled little boy. Remember, you’re dealing with titillated Americans here.

“We”? Speak for yourself, sicko.
Bobby Bill says
sorry for the sick satire, but I am sure that was the expectation of many who clicked on the article. I am sorry this happened to the boy.

That teacher needs to be given 50 wipes from the father of the boy that she beat. What goes around comes around in the end. She will get her just rewards in hell.

Islam knows that its future is only viable by instilling fear into the young. In America it is apparent in CAIR sponsored Koranic Study in all public schools mandated through Common Core ( Obama via Bill Ayers) for 3rd grade and above. Part of this indoctrination is reciting the shahida, (swearing that Allah is the only god and Muhammed his only messenger) . Ironically separation of Church and State laws prevent Christianity and Judaism from participating in public school classes. As illegal CAIR oversteps it tax exempt status politically by demanding a political candidate (Ben Carson ) step down it also does so by mandating only Koranic study is allowed in US public schools.

André Servier was an historian who lived in French Algeria at the beginning of the 20th century.
“Islam was not a torch, as has been claimed, but an
extinguisher. Conceived in a barbarous brain for the use of a barbarous
people, it was – and it remains – incapable of adapting itself to
civilization. Wherever it has dominated, it has broken the impulse
towards progress and checked the evolution of society”
762x51FMJ says
The deadening influence of Islam is well
demonstrated by the way in which the Muslim comports himself at
different stages of his life. In his early childhood, when the religion
has not as yet impregnated his brain, he shows a very lively
intelligence and remarkably open mind, accessible to ideas of every
kind; but, in proportion as he grows up, and as, through the system of
his education, Islam lays hold of him and envelops him, his brain seems
to shut up, his judgment to become atrophied, and his intelligence to be
stricken by paralysis and irremediable degeneration. Andre; Servier , (CH XVI)

I totally get it. My husband would have agreed with you. It would take all my inner strength not to take matters into my own hands if my son went through that. But i do believe we have to leave this person to the judgement of the one true God.
Thomas J. Hennigan says
This Chriistian boy is learning a lesson about Islam not only from the Qur´an but from the appalling behaviour of this brute of a teacher. The story is so horrible that it could never have been invented. I feel so sorry for this poor child.
jean74 says
This beautiful child being abused by a person in a powerful position shows how evil Islam really is. I know there are many who are not like this man but one is too many. I pray he has survived. The article is not clear as to whether he is dead or okay. He is so precious to God.

as the “teacher” and all those of similar belief and behavior do to others; so let it be done to all of them
