Sick: Kiddie suicide bomber chic

As I helped my toddler get dressed this morning, in a crisp white T-shirt imprinted with an American flag and a pair of embroidered blue jeans, I couldn't erase a heinous picture from my mind. It was an Associated Press photo taken Saturday in Berlin, Germany, of a father and his little girl. He is an unidentified Palestinian demonstrator; she is riding on his shoulders with a giant poster of Yasser Arafat in the backdrop.
The smiling child - no more than four or five years old -- has dark, wavy hair and caramel skin like my daughter's. She is dressed in a powder-blue sweatshirt. Maybe she picked it out herself and pulled it over her head without any help at all. But what's wrapped around her waist had to be all daddy's doing. And what a monstrous fashion statement it is: Strapped to the child is a costume belt of explosives -- three sticks of mock dynamite, complete with long white fuses, taped to her tiny belly.
It's the latest in kiddie suicide bomber chic.
In Washington, the heated linguistic debate is over whether the young Palestinians who keep blowing themselves up in Israeli markets, malls, and restaurants - 66 of them since September 2000 -- should be called "suicide bombers" or "homicide bombers." Either way, the need remains for truth in labeling the deranged adults who are grooming these young terrorists in training.
Human rights' groups such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, famous for their clamorous advocacy of children's rights, stand by silently as Palestine and its sympathizers indoctrinate their youth in the glories of self-destruction. We hear about the evils of child labor in Indian sweatshops and the cruelty of conscripting child soldiers in Sierra Leone. But nothing of the Palestinian barbarians who revel in turning their toddlers and teens into nitroglycerine-wrapped killing machines.
These are the ultimate child abusers, willing to sacrifice their own flesh and blood to satisfy a state craving for vengeance while cashing in on financial incentives offered by terrorist insurers. Listen to the father of a twentysomething bomber who killed 21 Israelis at a Tel Aviv discotheque last summer: "I am very happy and proud of what my son did and, frankly, am a bit jealous... I wish I had done it myself."
Listen to the Palestinian Broadcasting Corp., where toddlers recite bloodthirsty verses on Sesame Street-like programs: "When I wander into the entrance of Jerusalem, I will turn into a suicide warrior in battle dress! In battle dress!" sang one little girl. "Palestine! Amidst the shooting of the revolution, I turn to you with my blood and the blood of my brother and of the son of my neighbors. My heart will cleanse your image. Allah is great! Allah is great!" warbled another child, while adult leaders coached them on.
"Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!" the grown-ups cheered.
Listen to the Saudi ambassador to Britain, who sung the praises of the teen-age Palestinian girl who blew herself up three weeks ago in a Jerusalem market: "You died to honor G-d's word," Ghazi Algosaibi rhapsodized. "She embraced death with a smile while the leaders are running away from death. Doors of heaven are opened for her."
And listen to Arafat's wife, Suha, goading other Palestinian parents to endorse the suicide/homicide "operations" on Jews: There would have been "no greater honor," Arafat reportedly told a London-based paper this week, than watching her son take his own life for the Palestinian struggle for independence -- if only she had a son.
Mrs. Arafat, it should be noted, is safely in Paris, where she and her 6-year-old daughter are seeking respite from "martyrdom" while other people's sons and daughters do the "honor" of splattering themselves and innocent bystanders all over the sidewalks. Asked whether suicide bombings served the Palestinian cause, Mrs. Arafat responded: "Let me ask: 'What is one's position (supposed to be toward) an enemy who kills father, brother, sister, mother and grandfather in cold blood.Should we remain with arms folded?" Should we?

Arafat (aka Abd al-Rahman abd al-Bauf Arafat al-Qud al-Husseini), Suha;
Terrorists' tools of evil and their supporters:
A single small sample of the egregious terrorism ordered by Suha, Arafat and their supporters:
Arafat's wife and Arafat's daughter live in luxury and comfort
as they send other children to die murdering other innocent children.
Suha: "If we (Arafat and me, his trophy wife) had a son
(we only have a daughter) there is no greater honor than to have him be
a suicide bomber."

Had Michelle Malkin been paying attention and reading Freerepublic, she'd had seen any number of pictures of Palestinian children dressed up like mass murderers at parades in the West Bank and Gaza, or listened to Bibi and any number of Israelis about mass murderer training camps for children as young as five.

If this sort of thing is happening in Berlin what would make anyone think it couldn't happen here. It probably is. In Germany, they have strong social mores. Much more so than here and this type of thing is taking place in the streets...Yeesh, what a mess.
However, their Muslim population is out of control. I lived in a small town without a traffic light and I couldn't spit wihout hitting someone of Muslim persuasion...

Freedom of Speech protected by (a perverted interpretation of) our Constitution.

THAT is exactly the main reason to 'Glaze and Pave' Mecca & Medina.
It's going to take the removal of three generations to squelch that mind-set.

Freedom of Speech protected by (a perverted interpretation of) our Constitution. Uhh, Dude, this happened in Germany, which kinda has its own Constitution...

"Listen to the Palestinian Broadcasting Corp. System (PBS), where toddlers recite bloodthirsty verses on Sesame Street"
It's also brain-washed in this great land of ours by so-called
broadcast journalists...

These are the ultimate child abusers
Thanks to TomGuy for much of the above.
MORAL CLARITYAn honorable, moral solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Isn't the only honorable way to "solve" the Arab-Israeli conflict through the use "ethnic cleansing?" (And by that term I mean the polite, but forceful removal of all 3 million Pali from Eretz Yisrael -- which is not "genocide", as some on the Left misuse the term.) Let me explain.
The current wave of "suicide" bombers (a misnomer, since their primary goal is not suicide but the mass murder of civilians) is unprecedented and unrelenting. But it should not be unexpected. It is the direct (and obviously planned) result of brainwashing that started with Pali children as young as
kindergarteners. Look at the faces of the babies in the pictures above. What vomitous horror - visiting this upon their heads. What unspeakable evil.
The Palestinian descent into barbarism does not have some dimly-lit origin. The homicidal-bombers are not some unforseen phenomenom that sprung forth from the "hopelessness" of the populace (as the PA "leaders" would have us believe). They are part and parcel of the war machine created by the PA to wreak systematic havoc on Israel. Someone was paid to train -- or more accurately, brainwash -- the Pali youth. Someone was paid to buy the explosives and make the bombs. Someone was paid to search out and plan a path to a weak spot in Israeli defenses. Someone was paid to store the bombs and then give these homicidal-bombers their weapons. Someone was paid to videotape their farewell messages. Someone was paid to transport these homicidal-bombers across security lines. Someone paid the family tens of thousands of dollars specifically for their "martyrdom." And, as we are now learning, those paymasters include
Yassir Arafat,
Saddam Hussein and the
Saudi elite.
The PA has not been preparing its people for peace, but radicalizing them for the sole purpose of destroying Israel. The PA has appointed militant
clerics who preach hate and "martyrdom". By doing so, they have knowingly turned this into a
religious war, one in which compromise is heretical. And in doing so, the Palestinians have rejected the Oslo premise that the conflict is about borders, about which compromise is required. Indeed, as Henry Kissinger has
noted:
In reality, the number of Palestinian leaders... who want peace in the Western sense -- as a point after which the world lives free of tensions with a consciousness of reconciliation -- is minuscule. The fundamental schism is between those who want to bring about the destruction of Israel by continuing the present struggle, and those who believe that an agreement now would be a better strategy to rally forces for the ultimate showdown later on.
The result of Arafat's strategy of hatred is now known: Pali society
cannot co-exist in peace with Israel. Recent polls tell the story clearly. Over 87% of the Palis
support the murder of Israeli
men,
women, and
children, even
babies. Given these numbers and the underlying religious fervor, there is
NO POSSIBILITY of a negotiated settlement that would be honored by the Palis within their lifetime. Arafat has filled the Palis with visceral hate to prepare them for unrelenting war. He has brainwashed an entire generation of youngsters to become
terror-bombers. He has unleashed almost 10 years of official "judeo-nazi" indoctrination on the Pali people. Arafat has committed crimes not only against the entire populace of Israel, but against
Palestinians and their
children as well. Truly, these are
Crimes against Humanity.
Current conditions make ethnic cleansing not only justified, but
morally required. As antithetical as it sounds to liberal ears, ethnic cleansing is literally the only humane solution. To pursue a negotiated settlement is akin to locking a tiger and a human with a gun in the same cage. Assign the roles to whomever you wish, but the result is the same. Someone in the cage is eventually going to be killed, maybe both.
The world community's role in this to date has been to create this inhumane spectacle, this caged, semitic death match. The world community's response going forward ought to be the equivalent of an "Allied invasion of Nazi Germany" because nothing less will suffice to rid the world of this monstrosity. Eject all Arab peoples from Gaza and the West Bank (because once you eliminate the terrorists, their supporters and their families, virtually nobody is left). Then round up the PA "leaders" (including "
clerics" and "
teachers"), and put them on trial for their
Crimes against Humanity. If they are found guilty, hang them in public.
And to the extent that this PA policy was conducted, funded, supported, promoted, or otherwise enabled by their Arab bretheren (notably
Syria,
Lebanon,
Egypt,
Iraq,
Qatar, and
Saudi Arabia) then it is incumbent upon these countries to pay for their sins by taking in the Palis. Arabs created this mess. Let Arabs bear the toll for the human misery they created.
Even Tom Friedman of the New York Times has come around, finally grasping the global ramifications of Arafat's evil:
"...all they [the Palestinian leaders] can agree on is what they want to destroy, not what they want to build... Let's be very clear: Palestinians have adopted suicide bombing as a strategic choice... This threatens all civilization because if suicide bombing is allowed to work in Israel, then, like hijacking and airplane bombing, it will be copied and will eventually lead to a bomber... with a nuclear device threatening entire nations."
What is needed is the elimination of this cancer on humanity. End it quickly before more innocent lives are lost. End it now or it will escalate to Weapons of
Mass Destruction. End it clearly and with finality so that there is absolutely NO ambiguity that civilization finds this abhorent. If nothing else, as a sop to liberal sensibilities, end it for the children. Moral clarity demands nothing less.

I sent her some email:
Hi,
I like your writing but where have you been? Islam, like some sick, evil and twisted Gepetto, has been carving out it's little puppets of death for many years. In it's workshop called the Mosque. Examples of this have been all over the Internet for some time.
Like many Americans, I didn't pay much attention to Islam before 9/11. And like a few, I used to say that we give way too many US tax dollars to Israel. No more. I say help Israel all we can.
Today, I see Islam for what it is. Not from a book or from images or stories on the Internet. I see Islam for what it is from it's ACTIONS. And the worse thing it promotes is the sacrifice of it's children. The followers of Islam are like modern day Aztecs. Sacrificing their own children to their "god". I have found that if you want to learn about something make sure you get the basics down. As far as Islam, you can find a lot of answers here.
The cultist nature of Islam is very disturbing. In many ways the followers are nothing more than mere puppets. Willing puppets. Islam is perfect for co-dependant types with excessive-compulsive disorder that like to be told how to do every little thing in their lives.

Fair enough. My apologies.
To: Lurking Libertarian
No problem. I wasn't really providing a full explanation of linking it to American Schhols. No problemo. I will try to fill in the blanks more :)
