What a pathetic and barbaric excuse for such harsh punishment meted out to a kid. I am advised that there is NO mention whatsoever, of this type of punishment for children in the Koran--- just rules forced on people by the self-styled, self-anointed mullahs & imams whose sole purpose in life is to perpetuate their self interests and to retain total control (mind and soul) over the good and moderate practicing Muslims.
What a joke of a faith.
