Abuse by Imams: One must admit abuses to solve the issue

Submitted by VIking Woman (Kuwait), May 15, 2008 at 04:37

I totally agree that Christian some clergy should be ashamed to be involved in any abuse of children. There. That's called an admission of fact, and an admission that we need to "deal with the issue" not hide it.

Now, can we please admit their is abuse of women, abuse of children, abuse by imams? Once you admit it, you can solve it. To open women and children's abuse shelters would be a good start, but then that requires admitting the problem...
