Can mullahs like this lead Pakistan (anyone) to enlightenment?
They have made a mockery of Islam. These people think it is Islamic to punish children for disobeying. But no one drew the line about what the punishment should be.

VEHARI: A madrassa teacher on Thursday allegedly tortured a seven-year-old blind student to death for not learning his lessons.
Qari Ziauddin, who teaches at the madrassah owned by Qari Abdul Latif, tortured Muhammad Atif, the son of Fayyaz Ahmad, by hanging him from the ceiling fan upside down. The blind child was unfastened after he fainted.
Instead to taking him to a hospital, the teacher allegedly kept Atif in his (teacher’s) room until he died.
Vehari Sadar Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Muhammad Akram Niazi, on receiving the information, sent the body of the student to a mortuary for an autopsy, and sent police teams to arrest the fugitive killer. Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani has ordered an inquiry into Atif’s death. app
