Islamic Leaders Urge Children To Be Bombers

"Young Israelis dream of being inventors, and their role models are the Israeli innovators who made it to the Nasdaq. Hezbollah youth dream of being martyrs, and their role models are Islamic militants who made it to the Next World."

— Thomas Friedman, New York Times, August 9

The act of infanticide, the practice of intentionally causing the death of an infant, is rarely practiced today. Yet in the Middle East, it has taken on a new form. Under the direction of some leading Muslim religious figures, some parents in the region are encouraging their children to commit suicide as a religious act — then celebrating it.

Since Sheik Hassan Nasrallah has led Hezbollah, the terrorist organization has put the death of Lebanese children on a pedestal. His Ashura speech of May 1997 praised parents who beseeched Allah to "bless" their children with the honor of martyrdom.

Four months later, Sheik Nasrallah's 18 year-old son became a "martyr" after battling Israeli forces. The Hezbollah leader appeared on Al-Manar TV and thanked Allah for his son's "martyrdom," saying it brought him "the greatest feeling of joy that a father can know."

Many Lebanese Shiites were inspired by his words and to this day they want the same for their children. Sanaa Younes told the San Jose Mercury News on August 3, "He gave his son to Islam. … It's what every parent would want."

On July 23, another Shiite mother told the Boston Globe,"We are ready to give our children for Sheik Nasrallah."

Hezbollah begins brainwashing young children to be willing to kill themselves from an early age."Hezbollah," a 1997 book on the terrorist group by a Reuters Middle East correspondent, Hala Jaber, details how the terror organization and its TV channel incite Muslim youth to

Not that there was any doubt, but that about clinches it. These are the sickest bunch of whack jobs to ever set foot on this planet. They cannot be reasoned with. They cannot be appeased. They can, and must, be killed.

More reason to eliminate them, precision bombing in Iran first step, Iran emboldens them..

DFU:

This story is crying out for a song parody of Crosby, Stills, and Nash's "Teach your children"

[YOUGOTIT]

How come none of the leaders are blowing themselves up?

[SR 50]

Are you listening Hillary? This is the kind of thing you will have to face and deal with as Commander in Chief if elected President in 2008. Can you handle it? Do you realize what the alternative is to this?

[Coldwater Creek]

Think that it can't happen in your city folks? Those innocent women and children aren't so innocent!!!!

[puppypusher]

Its amazing to me that these overwieght,overfed mullas won't strap a bomb vest on but they will do what they can to brainwash kids. But then again I guess thats to be expected by a group that will hide behind woman and children and dress in a burkah.

Disgusting animals.

Families of Suicide Bombers should be targeted with extreme prejudice!

[WV Mountain Mama]

Cause they know they are full of crap about martyrdom and the promised 72 virgins. Plus that is their MO. They talk tough and brave about fighting and killing infidels, while wearing burkas, hiding in mosques and wearing glasses.

[goldstategop]

They'll even use babies in the service of mass murder. That's how sick the Islamofascist are. Nothing is too low in the service of Allah.

( No more Olmert! No more Kadima! No more Oslo!)

"How come none of the leaders are blowing themselves up?"

I've noticed that when a god somewhere wants someone sacrificed, it always turns out to be someone/something that can't defend itself.

From later in the article:

"Bassel had a wish. ... Whenever I told him I wanted to marry him off, he would say, ‘Yes, mother, you'll marry me off like this in paradise.' And indeed, the martyr Bassel got married in paradise. I congratulate the black-eyed virgins who took Bassel from me."

A "Mother's Day Special" on Al-Manar on November 11, 2004, featured comments from many mothers of martyrs. "All I want is martyrdom. I'm willing for all my children to become martyrs," one said.

hey it sure beats the 4H club /s

[DaveMSmith]

How come none of the leaders are blowing themselves up?

Because their leaders are cowards.

Story of how an undercover reporter infiltrated a mosque in the Czech Republic and how the Islamists are playing for time until they increase their numbers so that they can influence/control a secular democracy.

I, a Muslim

[BubbaBobTX]

"Families of Suicide Bombers should be targeted with extreme prejudice!" that is the only strategy I see to end this craziness. I would add that the Mosque that the suicide bomber worships at also seeks to exist as well as the head Mullah.

There is a cure for this insanity, kill enough of them to make them rethink their ideas but first let the world know that you will only be giving them what they want.

Start with the parents.

And indeed, the martyr Bassel got married in paradise. I congratulate the black-eyed virgins who took Bassel from me.
