Sara Ege, 32, used a stick to beat her son Yaseen “like a dog” if he couldn’t recite passages from the religious text, it is alleged.
A court has heard the beatings were so brutal that Yaseen died from his injuries, and his mother tried to burn the body to destroy the evidence.
Yaseen was originally thought to have died in a tragic accident in the house fire.
But a post mortem examination showed Ege had been beating and abusing her son in the months leading up to his murder, the court was told.
In a video recording of her interview with police Ege said: “I was trying to teach him the Koran.
In a sane world Islam would be banned as it causes serious mental disability.
Islam is a danger to the human race, I wish more people understood this.
“I was trying to teach him the koran”
By beating a child, she had taught him all he needed to know about Islam.
He did not need to memorise the words, but remember the scars.
