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

Lousy surname the author has: Steven Stalinsky. He ought to apply for name change.

Let me see if I can get inspired after I get back from my Kiwanis breakfast.

Anybody who glorifies suicide murder should be sent to the great whorehouse in the sky - immediately.

May the fleas of 1000 camels infest their privates.

Hezzie lunatics

[Emmett McCarthy]

These muslims worship a demon whom they call "allah". Death and sacrifice, especially that of children, are historically part of that kind of creed. I'm not sure how many of them we have to kill to make it stop, but time's a-wastin' and we'd better get started.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Monsters.

[massgopguy]

I couldn't help but notice that there are no Kiwanis clubs in the Arab-Muslim countries.

"So much for the religion of peace........"

I find it hard to believe that there are people who still believe that Islam is a religion of peace, but they exist. Indeed, against all evidence to the contrary, it is accepted conventional wisdom, championed by no less than GW Bush himself.

Evidence of mass delusion? mass insanity? Hard to believe that in this supposedly rational century, people still believe this nonsense.

I suppose the majority of people still rely on others to think for them and will believe any BS they are told, no matter how outrageous a lie it is.

"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."

Rather than kill them off, the ultimate revenge would be to kidnap their children from birth, raise them as Christians, and teach them love, kindness and consideration of their fellow man.

Oh HORRORS!! What a fate for the poor children of Islam!! How DARE we force a long, free and happy life on them!

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?

Don't you know? It takes a village to raise a suicide bomber..
