What an incredibly sad way of life it is for children growing up in war-torn Syria whose experience with Islam shows its anything but a religion of peace.
A disturbing new video making its way around the internet shows children in the Syrian town of Ras al-Ayn playing a game that simulates an enemy beheading while chanting, Allahu Akbar.
Although it is unknown who shot the video, Eretz Zen A secular Syrian opposed to having my country turned into a Taliban-like state published the video on social media sites like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.
The description of the video via YouTube is as follows:
The macabre culture of beheadings and body mutilations that the Syrian revolution has brought with it has rubbed off on little children, who seem to be simulating rebel beheadings of their enemies while shouting Allahu Akbar (Allah is greater). This footage was taken recently in the town of Ras al-Ayn in Syrias northeastern al-Hasakeh province.

Why is anyone shocked?
i’m not shocked... when i was a kid (5-7 yrs. old) we used to act out the scenes from Alfred Hitchcock’s, The Birds... crazy now that i think about it... silly...
Does this mean that if a Syrian child creatively eats a pop tart into a gun shape or points his finger at another kid, he won’t be expelled from school for a year?
I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Why is anyone shocked?
Exactly, what is shocking about children doing their homework?
Luke 17:1-2
You’re just a grunt... No offense. ;-)
How is this much different than when I was kid playing war where we pretended to shoot and kill Germans or Japanese?
It is the culture theses kids grow up in. One can hope they grow out of it and their conception of a hero changes
Why would anyone think this was not going on?
I expected no one to be shocked.
Pearl Harbor . . . and the sinking of American merchant shipping within eyeshot off our east coast shore, are reasons that immediately come to mind. More importantly, we werent raised from the cradle to hate Germans or Japanese simply because they existed.
I know no one who would not. Please excuse me for stating the obvious.
indeed... it is not a Shock Video at all...
