8 year old British girl memorises the entire Koran word for word.

[Deleted]

Pretty incredible stuff. I'm assuming to pull off something like this at such a young age that she must have a photographic memory. I'm sure there are some English academics out there that could probably recite the entire works of Shakespeare, or some football pundit that could recite the entire Premier League fixture results for the past decade. But this is on a whole other level.

Rubbish question: why?

What exactly are we discussing besides the unavoidable childish anti islam comments

[ShmooDude]

...How?

10ch

Because she's 8?

[Karnak]

Rubbish question: why?

Muslims are supposed to memorize the Quran.

[Ebalina]

Lets be honest.

She isn't native brit.
She might of been born there but she should not be named a UK citizen.

[Kalis]

Rubbish question: why?

Probably because she lives in Luton and it takes her mind off how depressing that is.

[Tailswipe]

Don't all muslims spend a year memorizing the koran?

I'm pretty sure our muslim at work said that his sons did the same thing.

[Speedlance]

Whatever whenever however

[BuckSparkles]

And here I predict if a little girl memorized the bible, OP would be like "who cares"?

So how many generations of ancestors need to have lived in Britain before someone gets entitled to be called a UK citizen?

amazing what you can do when you know the punishment for failure is probably being butchered for besmirching your family's honor.

Bit of luck for old Lizzie that she does not have to become a UK citizen then, she would fail miserably.

If I lived in Luton being butchered sounds appealing

Useless talent #189 ... Impressive but useless

Once they can stand the weather and the abhorrent foot, they should qualify.

Jokes aside: What a waste of brain capacity. If she can actually memorize every word she might have gotten more use out of her gift by reading an anatomy book.

[Vimpe]

of all the things she could have been studying

So a kid memorized a piece of literature about a bloody warlord and a Man in the Sky. Whooptidoo.

Wake me up when some talented person pushes mankind collectively a step forwards and not the other way around.
