Children aged 13 groomed for terror
UK Sunday Telegraph ^ | June 8, 2008 | David Leppard

SCHOOLCHILDREN as young as 13 are being "groomed" for terrorism by Islamic extremists in the heartland of the 7/7 suicide bombers, according to Britain's most senior police officer charged with countering radicalisation.

Sir Norman Bettison, chief constable of West Yorkshire, said some bright children entering secondary school were picking up extremist messages from internet chat rooms and people who wanted to turn them into terrorists.

His force has now identified at least 10 youngsters - including two 13-year-olds - as "vulnerable" and formally referred them to a programme to wean them away from radicalism.

.....

"They are not picking up the message of violent extremism from the mosques but from individuals who are seeking to radicalise them. It's the bright kids who are the ones that might be most vulnerable."

Bettison said the radicalisers were among the 2,000 suspected terrorists who were being monitored by police and MI5.

.....

In November, Jonathan Evans, director-general of MI5, said Islamic extremists had tried to recruit children as young as 15. "They are radicalising, indoctrinating and grooming young, vulnerable people to carry out acts of terrorism. This year we have seen individuals as young as 15 and 16 implicated in terrorist-related activity," he said.

Bettison's remarks indicate that police are now identifying much younger children as vulnerable to the Al-Qaeda message.

That's why we must stay vigilant -- and elect someone who understands the full danger of the terrorists and is willing to fight them effectively.

They must use the children, women and mentally deficient - because the adult males are such worthless cowardly POS.

Take notice - that in EVERY confrontation between warrior and Islamist - the Islamist dies or runs.

That is precisely why these “brave” militant Islamist who claim to seek martyrdom -— use unconventional ambushes, killing innocent folks, sleeping warriors or roadside bombs — to avoid any face to face combat that would surely lead to their “desired” martyrdom.

I’ve never been a person prone to prejudices.

But by any color or creed, this crap just brings up the most vile contempt to wards another human being I’ve ever experienced.

“SCHOOLCHILDREN as young as 13 are being “groomed” for terrorism by Islamic extremists in the heartland of the 7/7 suicide bombers, according to Britain’s most senior police officer charged with countering radicalisation.”

The Nazis’ “Hitler Youth” program taught millions of children how to hate without question and to embrace anti-semitism.

The Soviet Union indoctrinated children of all ages in Communist propoganda through organizations like The Little Octobrists, The Pioneers, and the Kosomol.

The Khmer Rouge turned untold numbers Cambodia’s children into mass murderers through the Communist Youth League of Kampuchea, a group responsible for some of the most brutal atrocities imaginable.

Evil always seeks out children to do its bidding, whatever the ideology. We must never forget that.

10-Year-Old Al-Qaeda Girl Carries Out Suicide Bombing In Iraq

An Iraqi security source reports that Al-Qaeda sent a 10-year-old girl to carry out a suicide bombing at an Al-Sahwa (Awakening) forces building in a village north of Ba’aqubah, Iraq.

The girl blew herself up near the building but no one else was wounded.

The Iraqi website Alnajafnews noted that Al-Qaeda’s use of children for suicide operations, which follows its use of women and mentally ill individuals, attests to the bankruptcy of the organization and to the fact that it can no longer influence anyone but children.

I've always had trouble reading in the Old Testament, how God required the Israelites to kill every one of the enemy in some of the battles they had in consolidating the ancient Kingdom of Israel. It seemed to me "over the top" to kill every living thing.

But now, God's reasoning seems mandatory, everyone of these bastards needs to die, or you'll have problems later, and remember there are worse fates than death, especially when it comes to the children born in muslim countries.

Kill them all and let God sort them out.

I have heard reports from friends about 10 year olds in Africa toting AK’s around. There isn’t anything new to using children as soldiers/killers. After all they will do the most savage things without knowing why it is wrong.
