END TIMES: Christian Children In Egypt Are Beating For Refusing To Recite The Koran And Wear Hijab
Muslims are also getting punished if they do not wear their hijabs.
One 12 year-old Muslim girl named Rahman Salem was forced to leave her school lesson after taking off her hijab, and was banned from participating in any activities at her school, located in the Northern part of Egypt.
"I was made to stand all alone in the school courtyard," she said.
"The headmistress later came to me and said: 'Here in school, you put on the headscarf. Outside, you may do as you wish."
"No girl can show up with her hair showing. They all have to wear the hijab," Salem added.
Christian girls also have to wear a hijab, and as soon as the day ends at school they will take it off.
Another school in the same province also enforced rules to make all female students wear a hijab.
The school's head teacher posted a large sign saying that Islam dress is now a part of the girls' uniform.
Seven-year-old Christian, Viola Samir said that her Islamic religious studies teacher held back eight Christian students in her class of 35 and beat the students that did not know the Koran by heart.
Samir's father told the Christian persecution website that his daughter had also been punished by her teacher.
"When my daughter told the teacher that the extra texts were not part of the Arabic curriculum which all students have to learn, she was severely punished by her teacher."
"The Christian religious studies teacher complained to the headmaster, but he took no disciplinary action against the Muslim teacher," he explained.
"In the end, the teacher allowed the Christian children to leave the class to join their Christian studies class," he said.
Christian students in Egypt normally move to a different classroom during religious studies where they can learn about Christianity, while the Muslim students learn about Islam in another classroom.
Another boy from a different school, located in the same town was also punished by his teacher after not reciting verses from the Koran.
His father said: "Once, the teacher, Mohamed, caned Abanob on the back of his hands, afterwards forcing him to stand with his face to the board and both arms up in the air for the entire length of the lesson."
"My son had failed to repeat the Koran text by heart when prompted to."
Another Christian student was pinned down by classmates while his teacher beat him.
"The teacher made the other students pin down my son as he gave him the bastinado, caning him on his bare feet. It seems only Christians are given this punishment," the boy's father said.
"They're 12 out of 42 in my son's class," he added.
All of the parents in the area said that their kids hate going to school and are often absent because of bullying from the teachers and the other students.
