Religious men who appear devout can be deceiving. Some take advantage of their trusted status to manipulate and abuse others, especially young girls. These victims often suffer in silence, as they are threatened with not entering paradise if they speak out. It is a mistake for parents to not imagine the darkness that can hide behind piety. Even those who recite holy texts and seem righteous can be capable of evil. Welcome back to dawn, faces covered in beards, trousers never touches the ground, hanging beautifully on their ankle as if defying gravity itself, fingers fingering prayer beats, their tongues glistening in prayers and song of praises, holy bible in one hand, broken and heavy hallelujah on their lips, their whispers, twisting scriptural verses and picking the one that suits their desires, but religion is whole, not half, whole, and having a weakness for sin doesn't diminish its infonation. Some of these men are neither men of God nor men worthy of the title, men of God, but appearance blinded by their own devoteness allow them unrestricted access to their homes, their treasures, their daughters, the sort of access forbidden even for kings, for an uncle, because when they see an uncle they see a man, an imperfect human, capable of submitting to his temptations, his desires, but the men of God they neither saw men nor men mortals, they saw angels and saints, and as they trust them completely these men manipulate their daughters into violating them, here's down the line they never told daddy or mommy, because the men had warned them they would not enter paradise if they do, so they carry the weight of this trauma in silence for the rest of their lives. Parents make a lot of mistakes, and one of it is a failure of imagination, failing to imagine that darkness lurks behind the curtains of piety, failing to imagine that some of these men that recite Quran with the most melodious voices, some of these men that carry the holy bible in their head from genesis to revelation are capable of evil.
