excerpt:
Thousands of children in Senegal are forced to beg on the streets under the pretext that they are receiving religious instruction, Human Rights Watch said in a report Thursday that urged the government to crack down on the long-established phenomenon.
Brandishing begging bowls and tin cans at passers-by and motorists, they collect coins for religious leaders who have promised their parents that they will be given instruction in the Koran. In fact, the children’s principal duty is often to support the religious leaders, the report said.








Once your logic is based on superstition, anything can be excused. It is time that the world realizes what an infectious disease to human society religion is. Thousands of years, people and esp children have been exploited in the name of a holy ghost.
