When the recruiter
came to the parents of young Rifat in Bangladesh and offered his
parents a free education, they were overjoyed and thought God had smiled
on them. Desperately poor, an education for Rifat was beyond their
wildest dreams.
Little did they know that the recruiter was actually going to sell the boy to a radical Islamic boarding school (madrassa)
where he would be imprisoned and indoctrinated in radical Islam. His
studies would consist of little more than memorizing the Quran, and he
would be beaten if he did not meet his memorization quota. His
"education" would equip him for little else than being a jihad fighter
in a foreign war.
Luckily, Rifat was able to escape after a number of months and ICC is now paying for his care, discipleship, and education.
Unfortunately,
Rifat's case is not an isolated one. In fact, ICC is providing for the
care of 10 boys just like him. There are many others like him and we are
currently working on freeing them and then providing for their care and
education.
