===Warning graphic images===

More than 300 men and boys have been rescued from a 'house of torture' Islamic boarding school where they were detained and raped by staff for years in Kaduna, Nigeria.

Many were found chained up and the detainees, mostly children, said they had been tortured, sexually abused, starved and prevented from leaving.

The owner of the school said all they do is teach people Islam and said the allegations of torture and sexual assault are false, despite acknowledging people were in chains.

He said: 'They don't do anything other than recitation of Qur'an, pray and worship God.

1. Obviously, a charter school.

Sick mofos!

2. minus the torture and rape

this is like most Wahhabi Islam Madrases.

Any wonder why boys (and it's mostly boys) that graduate from these "schools" with no skills or education in fundamental things like science or math and are thus unemployable turn to groups like ISIS?

3. Exactly. Spending all one's time reading and memorizing a religious text

is a recipe for neurotic fanaticism.

4. Today I am in Tangier Morocco and was walking in a marketplace and we passed a mosque

All men inside young, middle aged and old and all the women were standing outside. I can see how a male centered religion could go so far to do this to young men.

7. That's an abhorrent statement. There is no equivalency

Yes cutting off the locks is disgusting and the students should be charged but its abhorrent to to suggest that is equivalent to what happened to 300 boys and men

10. I know right?

I mean this story is sad and all, but it's nowhere near as horrific as what's happening in Christian schools right here in America!

11. I hope you missed the sarcasm thingy

I don't use the sarcasm emoji. I have moderate to high expectations of the reading audience.
