Crime happens among all religions. In the Christian ones though, they tend to organize into specific legal entitles of people and that is the problem. When you have people dictating the rules and making policies, then it becomes an organizational corporate issue, not just the neighborhood pervert.
On another thread, someone mentionedl "it's not the crime, its the cover up". Leadershp and such of mosques and I imagine temples operates differently. Working together to protect molesters is not gonna happen when they do not have a legal structure dictating to all mosques the same rules.
Islam, for example, may have a problem among the people of an abuser and he will be ostracised if found out-but there is no central connection between masjids, so that there would be no orgainizational plot to protect the abusers or the organization. OTOH, he can also go to another mosque and no one will know-so, in a responsible group, this is a disadvantage. Talk about organized reliigion-Islam is NOT it:) It is the most disorganized religion I know of! There are different issues associated with THAT. That's another thread, probably another forum!
