A young Pakistani boy was raped and killed in the bathroom of a mosque in Dubai on Friday. The man who allegedly raped and murdered the six-year-old boy has been arrested. Dubai Police said they received information that a Pakistani child was found dead in the bathroom of a mosque located in Al Qusais on Friday.
When the police reached the mosque, a man told them that he had come to the mosque for Zuhr prayers and that when he went to the bathroom to prepare for it, he saw traces of blood on the floor after which he saw the child behind the door. The boy’s pants had been removed.
The police, upon entering the bathroom, noticed that the child had been raped. They took the body to the General Department of Forensic Medicine and launched an investigation. Later, a Bahraini national was arrested on the suspicion of committing the crime.
He confessed to the crime during interrogation. He said he consumed alcohol late into the night on Thursday and went to the mosque to perform Eid prayers on Friday and returned home. He continued drinking alcohol and later went out to visit his friend to celebrate the festival.
Around 9.30am, he left his friend’s house and went to the mosque. He saw three children on the street, who asked him for Eid gifts.
The man told the police that he saw a boy, whose age he guessed to be around nine. He told the boy that he had no money on him but he would give money if the latter followed him.
He then took the boy to the bathroom in the mosque, locked the door and raped him during which he covered the boy’s nose and mouth with his hands to prevent him from screaming.
He later noticed that the child had stopped moving, so he left him there and fled the scene. He returned home and had a shower.
The suspect told the police that he did not know the boy and that day was the first time he had seen him. He also confessed that it was not the first time he had had forcible sex with males. (News sourced from Khaleej Times)
Haris,
Well some of us are disgusted at how lightly you address this issue by denial. The boy did not lose his life out of the blue. He was RAPED. That is how he died. Death was direct consequence of the rape. Physilogically a child, boy or girl, can not cope with sexual penetration and such attacks will cause internal ruptures and bleedings. You can die from such bleedings. Even adults can depending on the violence accompanying the rape.
The problem of rapes (men and women) and sodomy ARE widespread in the gulf and the muslim world in general. Not because Muslims by nature are more inclined to commit such crimes or acts, but because sexuality/sex is taboo and being a natural instinct, many opt to commit such crimes in order to relieve themselves. Another major factor is that rapes cases in the Muslim world go unspunished. There are no rape crisis centres, hotlines, and nobody you can go to for support – except the police. But they don’t not exactly have the best track record of bringing justice to people. Do you know about Sonia Naz? She was a Pakistani muslim mother, wife, daughter and sister. She was kidnapped by the police, gang raped by them and then they urinated in her mouth. Have you ever heard of a single case of rape, sodomy, or secual abuse whether it is Pakistan, Emirates or Saudi Arabia or other, where the culprit is exactly rotting in jail? No. The rape victims have their reputation soiled by the rapists and their supporters, especially authorities and the police, and accused of lying. The price of accusing somebody for rape is high and nto worth it in the end. Therefore many opt for silence and therefore the rates of rape and sodomy is much higher than what the numbers report, that is IF there are any statistics at all, as rape statistics are not common in many muslim countries. What Muslim woman would claim she was raped in the face of the social rejection/ostracized from her family, community, and face a bad reputation (deterring many guys from marrying her or potentially her husband divorcing her for casting shame on his family honour) she will undoubtedly suffer from a conservative society? These are realities. Wake up and smell the cofffee.
And when rapists or any criminal know, he/they can get away with a crime, this will encourage them and others to continue. Boys are raped at madrassas, by socalled imams, and nothing will be gained from shoving all the unpleasent truths under the carpet and pretend this tragedy of the boy in the mosque is an isolated event. The fact is that women and children are raped daily in the arab world, especially the rich gulf countries, where works and people from Asian countries are considered less equal, second rate citizens and racism from arabs is prevelant. You could study the case of the Pakistani girl who came to work Saudi Arabia, and she was raped by Saudi men and when she accused of rape, she was punished and deported to Pakistan. So how about acquainting yourself with facts and study the topic before you run for the defence of Arabs who will not be lining up to support you if this happened to you.
Sexual activity is common everywhere, be that hetero or homosexual. But in some societies like the west, the view on sex is very liberal and people can talk about it, promote it and even seek justice from legal entities, police and courts. They won’t be punished for being rape. There are crisis centres in most major cities and nationwide hotlines, where one can seek guidance and psychological help for the trauma caused by the rapes. This is however not the case in the Muslim world and this poses problems. Victims are less inclined to step forward when they see what happens to the brave victims of the past who did step forward, got accused and degraded eventually losing. The (western) media does not need to cover something as trivial and common as homosexuality for it to be prevelant. Everybody knows it happens. There is no news in it. Human trafficking (girls/women forced to prostitute themselves), rapes of maids and workers from 3rd world or developing countries, have been documented by various independent human rights organizations. Unfortunately the western media will cover things as majority of the muslim media tends to not cover such stories either because they are corrupt, paid to stay silent or just feel any unpleasent news will soil their country’s reputation.
The Quran says very clearly, that Allah will change nothing for his people, until they change things themselves. I see we have long way to go as we are still stuck in denial about basic and long pending issues where our women, children are the victims. The culprits have little to fear in the meantime.
The case with the boy is tragic but unfortunately not the first, or last and certainly not an isolated event. Very wide spread and very common in such socities. We have issues and we need to face these head on by taking the bull by the horns and realizing that truth is not always pleasent. And truth comes first in Islam. Denial is the poison which has spread like a disease among the Muslims and we need to stop it.
Reading some peoples comments on here makes me disgusted, going on about Islam teaches this it teaches that. Are they unable to ascertain the difference between a belief and the followers? Islam does not teach any of these things, there is no widespread homosexuality going on otherwise the western media would have no doubt jumped on the bandwagon. This is a poor little boy who has lost his life and the people here are bringing their own twisted agenda into it
AOA,
my question here is:WHEN THEY WILL HANG THIS UNHUMAN THING. ofcourse he can’t be a human being!
i dont believe one percent for this shit system of locals here. its almost 2 months and they are passing time by giving court sessions . if it would be an EXPAT i swear they could had been hanged him on same day.
I APPEAL TO ALL PEOPLE ( muslim , non muslim, african no ) lets not fight for the race and religion, lets fight for this poor child who wants JUSTICE!!
iam 100% sure they will sneakingly free this Emirati:@
INSHALLAH ALLAH IS EVERYWHERE.he will surely punish those who will do unjustice with this innocent kid.
what can i say on that now if my tears come out of my eyes already reading this news this is very bad job which he have been done with this cute and beautiful small boy first of all if he came to my hand i have alot of friends who do the same to boys i will really met him with those of my friends that to show him how much hard is it when its happening so now he must hanged till death because this is unforgetable story for me that i listen i really hate this kind of action which he been done and the next thing is which kind of muslim is he that he took to small cute boy to the mosque bathroom and i think he is not a muslim because every muslims knows the respect and rules of mosque during visiting it and the next thing that is the government should not allowed the people who already drunk wine to the mosques and now i listen that he is going to be hanged salam and salout to you dubai government i really love the law and government of dubai that they dont care about any one who do crimes they just looked to quran and shira rules and due to that they just punish the person. thanks and good luck dubai for your good and strict law.
Asslamu Alykum, I am very sad to read this and I pray that Allah give this man the punishment he deserves.
I am also sad about the comments here … What it do with muslim and Islam if someone rapes someone…
This is the propoganda against Islam. If a christian kills / rape or steels something then the news paper reads.
“A man killed / Rape a school boy etc etc”
and if a muslim man does the same act then news paper reads:
“A Muslim man killed / Rape a school boy etc etc”
So brothers, where is the justice.
The truth is that you guys have closed your eyes and ears and leading yourselves to hell file …
Good points, I think I will definitely subscribe! I’ll go and read some more! What do you see the future of this being?
It is pretty foolish to accuse falsely readers of being prejudists when they speak against such horrible crimes.
What other countries do or don’t do is completely irrelevant. The case at hand is Dubai, United Arab Emirates and the problem of rapes and sodomy is very common. The law does not work clearly.
And yes as a muslim, one is in the koran ordered to speak out against and fight injustice. That is not prejudist but a reality. If you see bad things happening then you need to do and say something.
People (muslims and non-muslims) are entitled to be sceptical about Islam and through dealing with these problems rather than turning the blind eye or deaf ear, we can eliminate this sceptism. Action afterall speaks louder than words.

Some readers and there foolish comments about the religion and muslims in general is out of content and prejudice! God created the good and evil and we shouldn’t take the good with the sins of others. There is many rape cases, killing, etc in many countries around the world that are considered civilised, yet they get punished but the show continues. Does that us the right to judge the nation and there believes??
If the systems are corrupt or bias, that is not what Islam is or true Muslims are. The teaches of true religion is far away from such accusations and manners. There is no doubt that this individual if proven guilty whatever his nationality or believes must be punished with death penalty, regardless of a decision sought from a human law or sourced from the religion. Setting an example of such a violation is the only remedy.
God bless the boys sole and give his parents the strength overcome such grieve and sorrow.
“This is a rare case in an Islamic or arabic country”
Er, Amy must have be blindfolded, oblivious or just blissfully ignorant. Much information is readily avaliable. If you seek, you will find.
In fact such cases are COMMON in islamic and arabic countries. Especially in countries where gender segregation exists. People have urges and this is how some act on it. Especially when access to sex and females is restricted.
Religion may not teach this, but the sharia state does, by not punishing such heinous acts. In fact Gulf News reports that the judge was not satisfied with the admission by the rapist/murderer. He felt somebody might have forced him. Yes because we all know how 4 year old boys ask to be raped/sodomized and then die suddenly in bathrooms at mosques.
The fact is that rape go unpunished in muslim countries and we as muslims carry the responsibility to condemn and ask our regislators to act fairly and enforce fair laws. It is not secret that in arabic countries faced with an arab national, non-arabs or minorities have no chance or getting a fair trial.
We saw it when in 1995 the filipino made was sentenced to imprisonment of 7 years along with 100 lashes for acting in self defence when her “master” tried to rape her.
The same if evident for the Australian women was gangraped in Dubai in 2008. She was imprisoned and accused falsely. The rapist went free.
In 2008, 3 teenagers were arrested for having raped and sodomized a fellow classmate. Most likely they will go free (nationals) or get very mild sentences due to their young age. If they act like this as teenagers what does adulthood hold for them?
Similarily a 15 year old french male student was raped/sodomized by 4 UAE nationals. He was lured by a 17 year old acquaintence. He stayed in Duabi to testify in court and go through the trial but eventually was forced to flee Dubai as most likely his rapists will go free and he will be sentenced to imprisonment for admission to homosexuality. Just like female rape victims are accused of zina (fornication or adultery depending on their marital status). One of the rapists had HIV.
When you are up against Arabs/nationals in Arab countries, then you can pretty much count on getting punished instead. They dont want to punish their own people, and the people know that, which is why it is easy to get away. Most people like this mosque rape will not admit. And without admission, you are forced to rely on evidence and professional testimonies (doctors etc), who will lie and commit purgery in order to save their own people.
Maid rapes are common in the Gulf, so is rape of ethnic and religious minorities and males. The law acts as a carte blance to rape. This also happens in Pakistan (Mukhtar Mai, dr. Shazia, Sonia Naz etc) if you look at the Hudood Ordinance derived from Hadd. If anybody can change that, it is people themselves. I am prolife, but when it comes to rape and pedophilia, I have zero tolerance. We are talking about a child of 4. How can that be consentual sex. Just like muslim females, arab or non-arab, do not ask for sex with random strangers/gangs. Calling it consentual sex is a double insult to this boy and his family.
If you have lived or studied the Gulf, you will know these are very common. They just don’t get in the news and even media in Arab countries as well as other muslim countries, are hesitant to report anything that might “tarnish” their image. Women who are courage and come forward are accused of being immoral and bad women, and dead 4 year old boys are pressumed to have conscentual sex. Great sense of justice. Also note that there are no laws in place in the UAE that criminalize rape of males. Furthermore UAE labor laws do not apply to domestic workers, and these women have few rights protections. Employers sponsor their visas, and the workers are legally placed under the control of their employers. Domestic workers often have very limited freedom of movement and are isolated from society; many are not allowed to leave the house or use the phone. They may be monitored closely, and their dress and religious activities controlled. Many domestic workers are subject to racism and ill-treatment from household members and may labor under slave-like conditions.
All in all, the human rights record in muslim countries including Dubai is failure. And until this changes, we will keep hearing about such cases. Women are hesitant to speak about rape as it is, but muslim women must face a lot of social stigma and people will always try to defame their character rather than help them or give justice. This effectively keeps many women from stepping forward. When things are so problematic for females, can you imagine what it must be like for boys and men? We all saw how Abu Ghraib broke adult men.
If one really fears Allah, then I hope muslims in Dubai rally up and protest against such acts and demand justice for rape victims and this little boy.
Ummah, wake up and face reality.
This gives non muslims an opportunity.. Of coz insults & pointing fingers to Islam and Arabs. This is a rare case in an Islamic or arabic country. How about western countries or other non Islamic nations where this happens every second not even minutes,In America alone in every second a child, woman and even men in some cases are raped, murdered, tortured, humiliated etc.
This has nothing to do with our religion/culture/society/community, this was a drunk idiot and satan on his own, of coz this is why we r forbidden to drink Alcohol.
So Stop Insulting Islam or Arabs.. Dnt take advantage.
Look at how many crime shows/investigative shows…. that u ve created from actual events – true stories, shows like NCSI, CSI NY,CSI Miami, Criminal minds, Numbers, Monk… etc So who r u to point figures???!!!
I Agree this creature should ve maximum sentence – Death !!
It is a horrible crime indeed, but please correct the article. It is not a Bahraini that committed such an atrocity, it is a UAE national. Please check the recent articles in Gulf News.
Every one quoted here according to his her sence but wait a while, Fact is that sin never over comes anyone with intimation. access of wealth,mental disorders,and so many other causes are there that may bring someone to commit something like this. there are many young boys and girls who enforced to sexual activity around the globe in their early teens by their own relatives,room mates,teachers,classfellows and so on but these children being afraid of its result or shame never disclose what pain they are suffering. there are even such cases that house servants do oral sexual activities with the children of thier employers to home with they work, on the other hand rich people do rape their own servants specialy if they are women. we never know how many childrens daily sexualy abused.It is only when it comes to news we know. Islam or Christianity never ever favors sexual activities like this.It is strickly forbideen with humans and animals…but there are some people who amended religion with their own will and allowed homosexual marriages and relations. so whome to blame? The society and culture we are living in today is full of frustration.and to ease this frustration sex is the most favorable tool to be used in a sence of satisfying our own self or by taking revenge from some one. The main reason is that we dont follow the teachings and guidence of our religions.women wear such cloths that is not allowed in any religion but if you tell them this they will give you million of excuses for it, same with the men, they have no regard for their own women, brothers,sisters and parents show their body parts openly on beaches and etc etc..who can tell them, they have thousand excuses for that…..we have no boundry for kissing,hugging and sleeping with others and these are the causes that some time took away some of our dears from this world…..WE ONLY REALISE IT WHEN IT HAPPENS TO US
I have the feeling that Bahraini national (being an Arab) will not get death penalty. If Dubai courts do not give the capital punishment than It is obligatory for Pakistani Govt. to intervene through diplomatic channels and ensure that the culprit gets death, if necessary Govt. of Pakistan must send some personnel to “take care” of it (i prefer option 2). May be we can learn from Israelis who don’t hesitate.
Having said that, there is a strong argument that the Govt. of Pakistan can not protect its own nationals with in Pakistan.
Perhaps it is our character.
Matter of shame….
It is indeed a crime and the man has to be brought to justice.
There is no need to brag on any religion after all if we had no religion we are all one.
Firstly, these culprits exist in all races whether or not they are homosexuals or womanizers they go into the extremes due to a psychological disorder merely attributable to something in their past or pysical condition. A few unfortunate human beings cross thier path and become victims to the brutality they enforce in order to fulfill their temporary desire. These hooligans do not deserve to be in a civilized society. Quite rightly so, and as suggested by many, he needs to perish the same way the victim did. Islam and Christianity are both wonderful religions which teach right from wrong, it is what we take that matters most. If there was one God, let sense prevail to have this man hanged or stoned regardless of any race or religion
Mohamed (A Muslim)
all muslims are taght to do like that in their religion. because, homosexuality is very commen in muslims and they are not forbidden.
Please execute him or give him a capital punishment. How cruel mankind has become, the whole this starts from home, a teaching focused to love each other not hatred and Jihadism.
Sorry, I am not trying to point any religion but expressing my feelings when I read this article, a small child being raped in a mosque rest room. Where were others? Disgusting and Cruel…
blady non Muslims should not point on all muslims….this kind of accident happens in muslims some time but in non-muslims every time & any time…..the person is guilty & should be Executed!
This is so horrible and devastating to the family of the boy. I live neas this area an i am a Christian, we all know that What was happen should have been prevented. Parent please always check where are your kids and whom they are with specially when you are in an arab country. Not to generalize but these cases are common to Arab counties, since sex is not as available as in USA. i have some muslim friends are they are nice people, not all of them are bad, but that guy rapist should be punished (maximum due pls.)
My condolences go out to the boys family a terrible crime absolutley shocking!!!!.
There seems to be alot of comments made by ignorant disrespectful individuals sick in the head.
Religion did not make this individual do this act of crime however these pathetic people are jumping on the oppourtunity to justify their anti muslim sentiment.
Im glad this man was caught hope he hangs!!!!!
ProudInfide and JohnB, why u bring Islam in this ? all Europe and West is totally GAY. u even do incests, so shut your mouth….
I agree rape and killing is an absolute wrong thing and is not acceptable in any religion, however it happens all over the world and in all religions, so does that mean we also bin the bible and all other holy books for all religions?????
You can’t reflect a wrong doing of one Muslim person on the rest of the Muslim world and the religion Islam…
There are many cases reported in the news of raping and killings in the West and in Asia committed by Christians, Hindu’s, Jews etc…so does that mean we should be criticizing all these religions also?? Absolutely not… these crimes are done by people who have deviated from their religion and are not afraid of their Lord/God or whom do not follow any religion at all.
You can criticize the person who committed the crime all you want but not the religion he follows as a whole.
As for this case…the suspect should be hanged for the crime he had committed.
My sympathy’s goes out to the family of the young boy… May his soul rest in Peace.
Muslims are not afraid to commit any sin because they can always go to Haj and come back with a clean slate.
Yet again we see the hypocrisy of Mohammedanism… In Islamic countries, homosexual sex is rife, due to sex segregation…doh!
Boys are routinely sodomised in madrassas etc, and yet, they call for death penalty for homosexuality? haha Then most muslim males should be executed, which would not be a bad thing, since it would lead to the decline of numbers of muslims! Oh and I forgot, in Jannhat, Brothel In The Sky, 72 virgins are not enough…they need yound fresh boys like pearls as well!!!
Dirty Muslims and their corrupted minds. Islam teaches that it’s okay to thigh with an infant, so it’s no surprise that they do this to a 6 year old boy. Qu’ran and Hadtith belong in the garbage bin of history.

Just another pious Muslim.
“He also confessed that it was not the first time he had had forcible sex with males.”
I’m also fairly sure it was the first rape that the little boy had experienced. I don’t think this rapist/killer should be executed. Instead, he should be castrated. . . then dropped off in rural Alabama wearing a burka.
This is pretty common stuff in muslim countries. Doesn’t surprise me. Still, if the guy is really guilty (you never know if his confession was from torture, also very common in muslim countries) he should be killed.
izlam is as izlam does…..allah!
