Seriously, the teacher did NOT notice the fucking obvious disability the boy has, and attempt to accomodate for this disability and help him overcome it, e.g., by getting a Braille edition of the Koran (assuming they exist)?
Would you even be allowed to make a braille edition of the Koran?
For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see,
Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be;
Saw the heavens fill with commerce, argosies of magic sails,
Pilots of the purple twilight dropping down with costly bales;
Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain'd a ghastly dew
From the nations' airy navies grappling in the central blue;

Someone on this board (I can't remember who and in which thread) said there was a law that forbid translating the Koran into other languages (i.e., not Arabic), because it was Allah's holy words to the faithful. When the Muslims tried to convert people who weren't Arabs, they ran into the fucking obvious problem of trying to get these people to understand what they were saying, so that law was quickly forgotten.

In short, we're allowed to print a Braille edition of the Koran because denying the blind the holy words of Allah is a greater sin than translating and possibly distorting those words.
Please do not make Americans fight giant monsters.

Those gun nuts do not understand the meaning of "overkill," and will simply use weapon after weapon of mass destruction (WMD) until the monster is dead, or until they run out of weapons.

They have more WMD than there are monsters for us to fight. (More insanity here.)

You know, people in western countries used to be a lot less sympathetic to the disabled, centuries ago. There's a prevailing mindset in some circles that if someone is disabled, then it's "God's will" that he continue to suffer. We see disability from birth as a great injustice, but for a person who believes that every raindrop, every gust of wind is the will of God, how can any natural occurrence be an injustice?

Actually doesn't Iran pay for transexuals to have gender changes?

Isn't that Cuba? Somehow I doubt that Iran, a country where they hang homosexuals, would pay for gender changes.

Iran tends to kill them and pretend they don't exist. There's kali temples in India full of escaped iranian male to female transsexuals who pay off their treatment by becoming temple whores. The temples pay or even perform the necessary surgery.

Iran does in fact, subsidize gender reassignment surgery, even though they still hang homosexuals. The way it works out is, suppose you're a woman that wants to be a man. While still presenting as a woman, having sex with women gets you the noose. However, once you've transitioned, it's perfectly okay to have sex with women, but having sex with men now gets you the noose. Also, the populace isn't as tolerant as the government, transsexuals in Iran are very much in danger of hate crimes.
