That would be a legitimate interpretation if that pastor didn't cite Muslim kids in Palastine and Iraq as her examples.

I believe it is irresponsible to say that this woman is suggesting violence by taking a quote out of context. Combine the quoted portion with the following from the article.

Fischer went on to say that Muslims in other countries are taking their kids to camps like "we take our kids" to bible camps. She said Muslims are teaching their kids to use rifles, how to put on bomb belts and to use machine guns.

Any honest interpretation recognizes that she is contrasting Christian camps with Muslim camps.

Generally, I am hte first guy to give someone the benefit of the doubt; that said, it is not deserved in this opinion. Other posters had referenced the Ninja/camoflauge aspects. Then there's the comparison between these kids "laying down their lives for Christ" and the Islamic terrorists in Palastine and Iraq. The whole picture is not of an orthodox, go-out-and-preach-the-gospel message. I've grown up hearing those. This didn't ring that way. The whole picture makes those comments sound frighteningly like what is heard in the madrasssas of Pakistan.
