In addition to the spread of terrorism worldwide, Arabs and Muslims can now point to another sign of the moral and religious perfection and superiority of Islam.

Yes, practitioners of the Religion of Peace, at war with the horrors and excesses of the Infidel West, maim children then enslave them as beggars to make money during their “holy season.” The compassionate and caring Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is also now arresting beggar children as the number of street children in all the obscenely rich Arab Muslim oil nations has skyrocketed in recent years.

Child beggars thrive on Muslim holy season in Gulf states

Child beggars have proliferated in Mecca and Medina, some maimed by traffickers to draw the sympathy of Muslim faithful who flock to Islam’s holiest cities in Saudi Arabia during Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr. “Organised African gangs deliberately mutilate these child beggars before sending them into Saudi Arabia,” Mecca police spokesman Abdul Mohsen al-Mimaan was quoted as saying…”These Africans practice the trade of children who have an arm or a leg amputated or whose body is burned with incendiary materials,” Mimaan said…

The interior ministry announces almost daily arrests of beggars. Over the past five months, 15,000 of them, including around 2,700 Saudis, have been rounded up.

Officials fear the children could be exposed to sexual exploitation or sickness. [Sexual exploitation? In the holiest of all Islamic cities?! It’s a lie! A lie!!!!]

But the scourge is not unique to Saudi Arabia.

According to a study by the Imam Mohammad bin Saud Islamic University in Riyadh published in the Saudi daily Okaz, more than 80,000 “street children” can be found at any one time in the six oil-rich Gulf Arab monarchies — Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Around 16,000 of those are on the streets of Bahrain, Oman and the UAE…

An official Saudi study recently cited in Okaz said that “more than 24,000 children of 18 nationalities, but particularly Yemenis, are thrown onto the streets of the kingdom, chiefly in Mecca and Medina, during Ramadan.” […]

According to the study compiled by the Imam Mohammad bin Saud Islamic University, 69 percent of child beggars in the capital Riyadh are Saudis aged six to eight. Economic and social factors, such as “the breakup of the family unit, domestic violence and poverty,” are mainly to blame for pushing children to the streets, the study says.
