Yes.many kids are named 'abdullah' as their father because the wives swaps with other men there.

Uncertain who the father is, they are named 'bin or binti abdullah' ie daughter or son of 'abdullah'. The police said there are many!

Now it appears that many of the children in the homes are bastards fathered by their ustazs. They have no responsibility for their care because public donations take care of everything although at a minimum level. Malaysia is truly joining the Club of Doom.

"bastards fathered by..."

The "bastards" have no choice, they are victims. Kindness, compassion, empathy would help.

Looks like we are only a brief bus ride away for the faithful believers to marry six year old... That's the way of the cult, and if I am forced to make a choice about religion, I'd sooner go along with the Teapot Faith, pass me the Oolong, mate, Alhamdullilah!

This will impact the Malay society in Malaysia - a sub culture as a result of allowing these cults to operate - shocking that AInallows this

. But then his wife is of the view that children can marry 40 year olds - so ?

Perhaps wider exposure of the Dark Side of GISB to the international community with validated cases of exploitation would encourage more energetic action by the MCMC to “tell the truth”. How about an article in Al Jazeera, also in the Washington Post and the Manchester Guardian? Suppression of what’s going on is patronising the people. A different PR strategy could help stigmatize GISB more effectively.
