Teachers 'punch and slap' Muslim children to make them learn the Koran

Muslim children in Rochdale are being beaten and abused regularly by teachers who want to “discipline” them into learning the Koran, it has been revealed.

Young children have been punched and slapped according to a shocking report carried out by a Rochdale Imam and religious education teacher.

Imam Chishti claims the beatings have taken place as a result of a lack of communication between non-English speaking teachers in Madrassas; classes dedicated to teaching about the Koran.

Some children have been so severely abused that they have needed medical attention.
