The mighty religion of peace strikes again

The text is as clear as mud...as usual.

Most Muslims do not actually believe in this 72 virgin thing because that is only found in a weak hadith, with a single narrator, and it's not even a significant issue for Muslims even if that is true. There are some non-Muslims who will mention this hadith in their articles/websites only to to mock and ridicule our faith (such as the one in your link) as if we believe in the 72 virgins hadith, when actually we don't. They also oftentimes quote verses from the Quran and Hadiths out of context in an attempt to show everyone that suicide is encouraged in Islam because of the "72 virgins," even though that goes against the Quran, as evident in the following verse which says:

"And do not kill yourselves, for Allah is merciful with you. And whosoever does that (kills self) with aggression and inequity, we will make them suffer in Hell fire, and this is easy for Allah to do." (4:29-30)

Sara Ege used a stick to beat seven-year-old Yaseen “like a dog” if he couldn’t recite passages from the Islamic text.
The beatings were so brutal that the boy died from his injuries, and his mother tried to burn the body to destroy the evidence, Cardiff Crown Court was told.
[...]

Well, that was certainly not necessarily, and I think that was brutal and evil.

Nothing in the Islamic books tell us to hurt a child just for not being able to learn/memorize the Quran (let alone kill them for it).
