The Rat Children - Pakistan

How can a mere myth ruin the lives of thousands of children? In Pakistan, microcephalics-babies born with abnormally small heads-are known as 'rats' and credited with god-like powers. Believers will give them money in the hope of blessings, but unscrupulous gangs of beggars are now exploiting this ancient tradition for their own ends. They kidnap young 'rat' children - or frighten parents into handing them over-and then force them into a lifetime of begging on the streets. They are lucrative-so much so that some people allege that normal babies are benig deliberately deformed to look like microcephalics. Why else, they ask, are there so many such children in Pakistan? And until something is done to combat the myth, the helpless 'rat' children will be condemned to a life of abuse.

Sad as this is, American billionares don't care about these children, they don't care about anything but themselves, and their own fat offspring. It's those who know suffering and illness, like the lower middle class and poor, who truely feel for these kids. However, we are unable to reach them.
its because they are pakis and need to die
If I saw a Muslim bieng attacked and left dying in a street, I would not think twice about helping him/her as much as possible.
You have no idea, we do not blame Muslims, we blame extremists, which i believe give any religion they belong too a bad name.

There might be 1.5 billion muslims, but most of them are "rat" people obviously.
