Children As Bombs

The American Spectator ^ | 9/19/2006 | Ralph R. Reiland

[Mrs. Don-o]

As if things weren't crazy enough already in the Middle East, here's the officially sanctioned message in sixth-grade Palestinian textbooks for 11- and 12-year-old kids: "The noble soul has two goals: death and the desire for it."...It's Jonestown, writ large, a cult of suicide for the collective, for Palestine. Israel isn't on the maps in the Palestinian textbooks.

...A recent article in Rolling Stone, "The Unending Torture of Omar Khadr," tells the story of a 15-year-old captured by U.S. troops in Afghanistan ....

"Born into a fundamentalist Muslim family in Toronto," Omar Khadr "had been prepared for jihad since he was a small boy," reports Jeff Tietz. "His parents had raised him to believe that religious martyrdom was the highest achievement he could aspire to...

Before he turned 12, Omar had formal military training in bomb-making, assault-rifle marksmanship...and sniper tactics.

...After [the son] refused, his father, suspecting a weakening of faith, told him, "If you ever betray Islam, I will be the one to kill you."

What the aforementioned young people could use is some major deprogramming. For starters, the suicide-promoting poetry in their curriculum could be replaced with some Ayn Rand, the perfect antidote for self-immolation.

Rand warns against "death-worshipping mystics" who control and humiliate through the use of guilt and fear, preaching that a man's pursuit of happiness here on earth is evidence of depravity and selfishness, that his independent mind is a source of arrogance, his body a source of evil, that his liberty, self-esteem and individuality are desecrations of the commandments for obedience, humility, suffering, renunciation and self-sacrifice.

"There is no way to make a human being accept the role of a sacrificial animal," writes Rand, "except by destroying his self-esteem."

Ralph R. Reiland is professor of economics at Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh.

[Technocrat]

Well, since it's the death god they are worshipping, the suicide would be a sacrament, or a baptism, or a wedding. What we need is a term that signifies a religious pinnacle, yet twists to show the utter depravity of the interior, and is at most three words. Hmmmm. - let's see -

Explosive homage
Self-canonicalization
Terminal or Final communion (with the death-god)
married the beast

It's getting there, but we don't have the bell-ringer yet.

[D Rider]

It's getting there, but we don't have the bell-ringer yet.

Maybe not, but there are some good chuckles there.

[TheClintons-STILLAnti-American]

"...here's the officially sanctioned message in sixth-grade Palestinian textbooks for 11- and 12-year-old kids: "The noble soul has two goals: death and the desire for it."...

Yet some people STILL accept the poppycock about Allah being the same god as the God of the Bible.

[beyond the sea]

Ralph Reiland is a friend here in Pittsburgh and is a very good and wise fellow.

"Omar Khadr "had been prepared for jihad since he was a small boy," reports Jeff Tietz. "His parents had raised him to believe that religious martyrdom was the highest achievement he could aspire to..." -----

Nothing better for a young child's self-esteem and wellbeing than to tell them that the best thing they can do is to grow up to be AMMUNITION.

The family that slays together stays together.

Brainwashing children is the sickest aspect of Islam and there's plenty of sick aspects IMO.

[beyond the sea]

Brainwashing children is the sickest aspect of Islam ---

You are so right.

Now, I'm going outside.

Have a great day, good lady.

[Beckwith]

How about calling them what the are, human bombs.
