Queen Rania speaks about violence against children

Rania says, ""There is no room for violence among us. We will not ignore the problem. We will not pretend it will resolve itself. Beating was not and will never be a means of education or a method to discipline. There are alternatives to teach a student discipline to guarantee for him dignity while preserving the teacher's respect."

"As of today, the civil service system has been amended. There will be no leniency in dealing with individuals within our governmental institutions that beat a child. As for the students, we urge the Ministry of Education to be strict in implementing the laws that see that students who hit other students or teachers be transferred to other schools. If the offence is repeated, the student is dismissed from school."

In Amman, Jordan. November 21, 2009.

Violent rapists in Norway are all muslims.

@hstemann- Even the Catholic priests who rape children?

[Armana14]

its not the Muslims or any other religious group that are rapists or criminals since no religion teaches that but those people who commit such crimes do not belong to any religion.They may have a Muslim or Christian name but they only follow their own animalistic desires and apread terror.No offence
