Abdullah laughs like any other 11-year-old, but he is no schoolboy. He is being touted as the world's youngest terrorist following his arrest.
Charged with carrying explosives, Abdullah is suspected of being a potential suicide bomber and is Afghanistan's youngest prisoner, reports the Mirror. Abdullah is an orphan and learned the principles of jihad at a religious school.
His weapon of choice was the Kalashnikov. He says he also knows the difference between suicide and which God forbade, and sacrifice, which is what you become if you blow yourself up, killing the non-Muslims who want to kill your family.
It always warms my heart to read about young “freedom fighters” waging war against American imperialism.
...no, it actually sickens me...
Children are the future!
and a child shall lead them...to paradise.
Slightly off topic, but related history.
A childhood friend of mine has agonized for years over the killing of 9 y/o Vietnamese kid. The kid lobbed a grenade into the back of a truck load of GIs. My friend was one of several who shot at the kid, who was killed, but he doesn’t know if he hit him or not.
These “Islamists” are savages; just as the Viet Cong were.
Yale, NYU, and Harvard will get into a bidding war for him.
In Chapter 5, "The Face of Islamic Moderation", he zeros in on the hypocritical culture of suicide bombing & martyrdom that most westerners/non-muslims don't understand. He touches on how the Fiqh Council of North America, an eighteen-member board of Islamic scholars and leaders, the ones behind the 2005 and 2007 condemning of the 9/11 suicide attacks, and claiming it was in defiance of the principles of Islam, are not condemnations at all, once you scratch the surface.
While non-muslim westerners may assume a particular meaning for "terrorism", "innocent lives", and "civilians", these are in fact debated terms in the Islamic world.
Adjem Choudhury- "When we say innocent people, we mean Muslims. As far as non-Muslims are concerned, they have not accepted Islam. As far as we are concerned, that is a crime against god...As far as a muslim is concerned, you're innocent if you are a muslim. Then you are innocent in the eyes of God. If you are non-Muslim, then you are guilty of not believing in God."
Rashid al-Ghannushi - "There are no civilians in Israel. The population - males, females, and children - are army reserve soldiers, and thus can be killed."
Dr. Hani Al-Siba' - "The term "civilians" does not exist in Islamic religious law...I'm familiar with religious law. There is no such term as "civilians" in the modern Western sense. People are either of Dar Al-Harb [House of War] or not".
Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi - "It's not suicide, it is martyrdom in the name of God, Islamic theologians and jurisprudents have debated the issue. Referring to it as a form of jihad, under the title of jeopardising the life of the mujahideen. It is allowed to jeopardise your soul and cross the path of the enemy and be killed."
The solution is simple, drill for oil everywhere..become energy independent and those rag head dictators couldn't finance a two holer in that $hit hole called the middle east!
Which is why we need someone like Sarah Palin to achieve this longterm victory in the WoT without firing a shot.
