Children as young as six. "Al Qaeda Trains Young Boys as Terrorists, Tapes Show," by Jennifer Griffin for FoxNews (thanks to Arturo):
WASHINGTON — Al Qaeda propaganda tapes released by the Pentagon reveal a possible new trend in the group's terror strategy in Iraq.The tapes, obtained by FOXNews and later released to the media, are training videos showing black-masked Iraqi children between 6 and 14 being taught how to hold AK-47s, how to stop a car and carry out a kidnapping, how to break into a house and how to break into a courtyard and terrorize the individuals living there.
Footage aired for reporters showed an apparent training operation in which the boys are shown storming a house and holding guns to the heads of mock residents. Another tape showed a young boy wearing a suicide vest and posing with automatic weapons.
They also are seen being taught to use rocket-propelled grenade launchers.
"These were young boys all masked and hooded, all outfitted with weapons; adults were doing the training," said Rear Adm. Greg Smith, a spokesman for Multinational Forces Iraq.
"Al Qaeda is clearly using children to exploit other children to get the interest of Jihad spread among teenagers far and wide. They use this footage on the Internet to encourage other young boys to join the jihad movement."...
American soldiers give the kids candy bars.
Al-Qaeda gives them guns and bombs.
Who is the real occupation?

Under the circumstances, US (and other nations') policy should be to immediately halt immigration from Iraq...of anyone of any age.
An insidious corruption of Proverbs 22:6-6
6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.
After seeing Iranians use their children to clear fields of landmines and others even consider using a baby's bottle to transport explosives can anyone be surprised? Then there's the cartoon mouse that exhorted youngsters to hate the other and to strive for jihad. What can we do but shrug our shoulders? We can't stop this abomination of parents willing to kill their own children.
The willingness to kill young boys must mean they aren't worried about creating a shortage of jihadists in future generations. No "baby bust" in Islam.
We all know this is a fake. Shucks we know all these kids need is better education, video games and a future to looks toward. Yeah sure. (sarc off)
Of course we are training our young boys to commit suicide over the smallest problem. Two seven, I repeat seven year olds in the past week! They killed themselves, one in Atlanta, over a school suspension for throwing a crayon and hitting a girl in the eye, the other hung himself on a hook in the coatroom at school.
Scary analogies in my head to the child warriors in the killing fields in Cambodia and in Central and West African civil wars.
The utter savage, primitive, inhuman behavior continues. It indeed reminds one of South East Asia in the 60s and 70s. How can supposed 'humans' do this to their women and children in the 21st century? Raping and killing their women and training children to kill in the name of their cult/ religion, what horrible, detestable evil creatures these muslims are.
The Israelis are familiar with the phenomenon of enrolling for terrorist acts the helpless and the hopeless: girls guilty of behavior that would normally require an "honor" killing and who hope, as homicide bombers, to redeem themselves; mental defectives; and of course, the young. But even Hamas and Islamic Jihad have yet to avail themselves of six-year-olds. Now, of course, they will.
Kindergarteners are training for Al-Qaeda? I'm just surprised that they don't have a nursery school, or better yet, a breeding school.
A tender mind is a terrible thing to waste, yeah, especially on Islam.
Mohammed-Jugend
"Die jugend marschiert..die jugend marschiert.."
How about a little dagger designed especially for the little buggers when they go on their muslim youth campouts?
I think the thing that everyone should focus on is that the little darlings are obviously being trained in a very peaceful manner for strictly peaceful jihadic purposes for spiritual enlightenment.
HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA----Yeeaaaah, Right!
The mothers of "martyrs" feel more important among the other black bag hags.

"Under the circumstances, US (and other nations') policy should be to immediately halt immigration from Iraq...of anyone of any age."
Eve,
Sadly, a week ago, the President signed a bill authorizing an additional 5,000 Iraq refugees per year over the next 5 years to come into the U.S. (Special Immigrant visa recipients).
When you add these 5,000 to the 12,000 Iraq "refugees" (as part of a total admitting 70,000 refugees worldwide) you have a grand total of 17,000 Iraq muslims immigrating to our shores this year as a stated U.S. Government policy goal.
WARNING!
Failure to comprehend Jihad against the infidel occupiers as a central duty for pious Muslims, completely interwoven into the fabric of Islam, with its endlessly replenishable ranks, "could" cause an unneccesary military and financial burden on the West and most specifically, the US.
Warning!
It "could" actually compel coalition forces to have to kill young children employed by the jihadists, furthering our reputation as the great Satan on the global stage and providing further justification for the jihadists on Islamic ideological grounds while also providing a greater obstacle to the vital project of exporting western Shari'ah based democracy to the willing but less fortunate of those in the world.
I for one, would hate for that "to happen".
Banner headlines in the MSM appear whenever "innocent" women and children are killed. The jihadists know that international media outrage will occur when a US or UK soldier shoots a child wearing a suicide vest.
Kinder-Jihad, eh?
I think we should get some real mean Seals and other Special-Ops boys to train our little Kindergartners or we might end up with a 'Kinder-jihad' GAP!!!

While we are busy teaching our children important skills in how they can have a bright & happy future, not only for themselves, but for others as well.....
Islam is busy teaching their children skills for not only destroying their own life & future, but ours as well.
Islam be gone!
Islam be gone!
Islam be gone!
It won't be long before you see a muslim mother with a stroller wheeling a baby who is wearing a suicide belt into a crowd.
Seems the next "logical" step along the road to child abuse, surely?
Just in case anyone wants to let Adidas know that they have become the official uniform of al-Qaeda, here's a handy little web based comment form:

Six percent of Fox is now in the hands of the Arab-Muslim stockholders.
We'll see how long Fox continues to pass along reliable information about global jihad...
Could we see in this tactic a sign of desperation? Last week it was the two mentally handicapped women, remotely detonated. This week it's kids.
Are Al-Quaeda running out of real takers since the Sunnis ceased backing them?
We've been seeing Arabs in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon dressing their children as terrorists and making them fondle guns grenades and bomb vests for years. This really sounds like typical Muslim home movies to me, though I have not yet seen the footage...
As said about the Pales...When they love their children more than they hate us...then they will find peace.
Actually, I was amazed to see this story on regular News this morning, plus the footage.
How Un-PC!
