While Hizballah's attempts to infuse itself with popular culture and entertainment, and to indoctrinate children are not new, materials discovered by the Israel Defense Forces show a lower-tech and more direct angle via the content of children's games. From YNet News: "Hizbullah presents: How to recruit children"
Do you know who is "the most senior Lebanese prisoner jailed in the Israeli enemy's prisons"? And where did the aircraft of "the Zionist enemy" assassinate Sheikh Abbas Mussawi (who served as the Hizbullah secretary-general before Hassan Nasrallah), his wife and his toddler son?
If you know the answers you have a good chance of winning the children's quiz written by Hizbullah members. However, this is not a simple quiz examining the general knowledge of the children and youth of Lebanon. Hizbullah is attempting to recruit them to the organization at an early age.
Material collected by Israel Defense Forces soldiers in southern Lebanon -- alongside the weapons, rockets and explosives -- reveals a complex and rare picture of Hizbullah's contents and activities among children and youth, mainly in southern Lebanon villages which are considered its stronghold.
A special document of the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center at the Center for Special Studies (CSS), which was distributed this week, sheds light on the issue. It appears that one of the organization's goals is to assimilate its values among the younger generation.
The document writers note that "the aid authority for the Islamic resistance" is part of a comprehensive infrastructure of Hizbullah institutions and bodies which hold diverse social activities among the Shiite community in Lebanon, focusing on the young generation.
These activities are not only performed "for a purely spiritual purpose," but are aimed at raising the popularity of the organization among the Shiite population and assimilate the its radical Islamic-Shiite ideology, similar to Hamas' Daawa activity in the territories.
Quiz stars: From Playstation to Samir Kuntar
A special kit for children was found at the village of Aita al-Shaab. It includes an award-bearing quiz titled "the 2006 competition of victory youngsters," alongside a possibility of donating money to Hizbullah.
The kit was produced by the "aid authority for the Islamic resistance." Alongside the questions presented to the infants in southern Lebanon, there are also quizzes presented as a multiple-choice test. Alongside answers to questions like "the Risk game, Playstation or Atari," one can find answers like "Nissim Nasser, Samir Kuntar or Yahya Sahef" (the three prisoners which Hizbullah wants to see released).
Read it all.

The charming little "Hitler youth" goose stepping in Hizballah ski masks are a stark reminder that Jihad has arrived for a very long stay.

What I want to know is, has anyone, ever, questioned the mullahs why muslims make their kids saw off the heads of sheep, goats and camels ? They make their kids do it, all over the world, teaching them that both the killing (qurbani), and the sawing off (halal) are holy. I know of no culture that make their kids do such a barbaric thing. And by the time the kids grow up, they have no issue when it is an infidel's neck at the business end of a knife/saw.
They are trained from birth to be killers.

Interesting comments arjun.sevek, similar techniques are used in the occult with the exception of drinking the blood.
at August 31, 2006 5:18 AM
Wasnt there a muslim terrorist incident where the killer ran over to his victim and slurped up some of the blood?
The occult reference is spot-on, sadly this one has a huge number of adherents.
Posted by: Bacon-I Will Miss Thee at August 31, 2006 7:14 AM
arjun.sevak your point is well taken, when they have their children accustomed to killing this way with animals, it does not take much ofa step to this to people. muslim children are raised to regard Jews,Christians,Hindus, as pigs and rats. When you read about
serial murders, they begin as children to torture and kill animals, and when that thrill has ceased, they go onto humans. so you see the proof of how sick islam has always been. it is a death cult, and must be destroyed.

Kids are easy to propagandize. This is a massive case of child abuse in the mould of the Hitler Youth. Instead of teaching their kids to think critically, to analyse facts, to look for contradictions, to be scientific in the thought process, Islamic fascists take their kids'growing minds and foot bind them.
The Muslim mind seems prone to treat beliefs as fact. For example, "Palestinian" Arabs will often say that Zionists stole their land, but the facts are that prior to 1948, the land cobbled together to make the original Israel was sold to the Zionists by "Palestinian" Arabs. However, no amount of facts will change Islamic beliefs on this or other matters. The process of forming the Islamic mind begins early in life.

Information useful to all Western governments. For Hezbollah (Hamas, Lashker-e-Taiba, Al Qaeda, and a thousand other groups) is merely a variant on a theme, and those variants on that theme exist wherever large communities of Muslims exist, and can never be stamped out as long as people read,and believe, the Qur'an, the Hadith, and the Sira. What Infidels can do is limit that presence, through a series of government and unofficial measures (call it a public-private partnership), always aiming to reduce it still further, and to creating the conditions in Dar al-Islam that will allow Infidels, and force Muslims, to make the connection between the political, economic, social, moral, and intellectual failures of Muslim states and Muslim peoples, and Islam itself.

Hugh-
I think you're right. Though it is possible for an occasional blade of grass to bust through the concrete of Islamic teaching (in the manner of Alexander Solzhenitsyn in the Soviet system), the truth is that non-critical thinking is systemic in Islam. This is a great tragedy for Arab-Muslims and other Muslims because many are very intelligent and would be capable of great creative scientific thought. Islam is the problem.
Posted by: Frank at August 31, 2006 8:15 AM
Of course the land sellers (Palis) were convinced that once the Arab nations defeated the zionists they could come back and re-claim their "stolen" property.
Posted by: JanuaryMan at August 31, 2006 8:28 AM
JanuaryMan-
You bet. The large estate owning Arabs wanted their cake and wanted to eat it too. I do think they thought they would take the land back by force. Imagine such a mind.
I have an idea: I'll sell you a "fixer-upper" house on an acre lot at top dollar and after you take it and rehab it I'll hit you with some quotes from the Koran and try and take it back. However, I'll run into a problem when you take out a 367 Magnum and tell me to go to hell or go to someplace with Sharia law.

There was a story many years back that the Iranians had acquired state of the art presses for printing bank notes shortly before the Shah fell and that the Ayatolla's regime was using them to print counterfeit American bills. I hope someone is carefully checking all these crisp new notes that Hezbollah is handing out to all their supporters who've lost their homes.

The Israeli army finds propaganda in south Lebanon, and announces its find. And no doubt there will be a sharing of such information with Western governments as to how Hezbollah brainwashes children, enrolling them as recruits for Hezbollah, the Army of Allah.
But the IDF did not have to seek such material in southern Lebanon. It is on every wall in Gaza, in every school room in the Arab-occupied parts of Judea and Samaria (the "West Bank"). Glorification of suicide-bombers, of murder of Jews, of murder of anyone who gets in the way, including suspected "collaborators" shot in the middle of town-squares and their bodies then kicked and mutilated to the delighted screams of the assembled spectators, including "Palestinian" children. And "Palestinian" television has children's shows in which the cutest little boys and girls are taught to sing songs about suicide-bombing, and when a little boy explains that when he grows up he wants to be a "shahid" the teacher-on-stage-set praises him for his proud choice.
But what it all comes back to is not the deliberate brainwashing of children to become suicide bombers or warriors for Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad (name your Muslim poison). What it comes back to is what was suddenly discovered by Western reporters just a few years ago, that in the textbooks of Saudi Arabia (and by the way, in the textbooks of Syria, Egypt, Pakistan, and many Muslim states) are to be found blood-curdling statements about non-Muslims. But those statements were not new; they were always in the Saudi textbooks. What was new was that at long last what would seem to have been the most obvous thing to inquire into -- what are children taught in Saudi Arabia - was simply off-limits, not a subject of inquiry.
Why not? Was it the decades of Aramco propaganda, that prevented any investigation of the nature of Saudi Arabia? Any intelligent expatriate worker, or for that matter any member of the American airforce in Saudi Arabia during the past decade, knows of the contempt, even open hostility, expressed by so many Saudis toward Infidels (the Saudis seldom need to employ those oleaginous wiles that come so naturally to others who need or want American aid, military and economic), including Americans. Was it the succession of ambassadors, from low-end James Akins, to high-end Richard Murphy, all of whom have ignored, have chosen to ignore, or are too lazy now to find out about, the most important subject of all -- Islam? Was it the army of Western hirelings, which naturally came to include many of those diplomats in their plush retirements, and former intelligence agents (such as Raymond Close) who directly or indirectly pushed the Saudi line, in lectures around the country, in "disinterested" Op/Ed articles, and so on -- and who have yet to face any reckoning with Congressional investigators, or the public, for their traitorous activities in helping to prevent the American govenment from having any sensible energy plan but instead relying for three decades on the pricing-and-production goals of "staunch ally Saudi Arabia."
I'd make them testify under oath. I'd find out who has been getting what, directly and indirectly, from Arab sources. I'd have Congress and the press hold them up for ridicule, so that in the next few decades, we won't have our energy policy continue to be made by those who have a paid stake in making us not see Saudi Arabia as a malevolent force, intent on using large parts of its oil revenues to fund various instruments of Jihad. I'd make them -- all of them -- disgorge their profits, and if some of them have already died, rich in honors, respectable men, with respectful obituaries, I'd see if anything could be done to recover from their heirs and assigns.

From the article:
"It appears that one of the organization's goals is to assimilate its values among the younger generation."
VALUES?! Could these be the firing missiles from schools and civilian areas values? Maybe the parading dead kids in the heat for hours and faking photographs values. Or the value of purposely firing rockets into unarmed civilians. YNet News, please elaborate. Why cant our leaders see that western and Islamic values differ to the point that there can never be peace with Islam?
at August 31, 2006 10:45 AM
This shows how Muslim kids are brought up to be natural born killers. Like the Terminator and their elders, they cannot be reasoned with or appeased. They are programmed to kill and kill they will, but Westerners, who are sheltered from such things cannot grasp this fact. Too many of us are gullible enough as to think all children are the same, that the Arab kid is no different from the kids we see every day of our lives. This is another manifestation of how we in the West have been rotted away by political correctness. I remember a talk show about the proposed invasion of Iraq back in February 2003, an oldish lady of around 65 putting on that pitiful voice saying how depressed she was at the thought of war and saying "We must give them love" to a Cabinet minister - as if giving them love will remove a lifetime of indoctrination into hating the West. These are Stone Age savages who want their cult of barbarianism imposing on all us infidels, and their position is non-negotiable - but the media here won't tell us that, out of fear of offending Muslims and perhaps being decapitated in the street like Van Gogh.

"...and to creating the conditions in Dar al-Islam that will allow Infidels, and force Muslims, to make the connection between the political, economic, social, moral, and intellectual failures of Muslim states and Muslim peoples, and Islam itself." - Hugh
Isn't that what our State Department is trying to do through Condoleeza's brainchild, transformational diplomacy? Conversely, I submit that the mohammedans are accomplishing here, in their own twisted way, just what Hugh is suggesting the West attempt to do in dar al-islam. They are creating the conditions in the West for the expansion of mohammedism by using the civil rights tool in the courts, educational deception in our public schools and universities, and dumbed-down information supplied to the ignorant through the mainstream media. In fact, they have even defined the terms one must use in our society to debate the subject at hand. No longer is it acceptable to refer to the followers of mohammed as 'mohammedans', or call their cult 'mohammedism'. We have been tricked into using the more pleasing 'islam' because according to the mohammedan propagandist it means peace. Nevermind the reality that it means submission. Also, we must not offend through speech or dare criticize the values held by others such as the perverted practice of teaching children to kill.
The ugly truth which no Western leader, in today's morally equivalent environment, will admit is that islam is evil and freedom and liberty are good. Western civilization has lost its moral compass, Christianity - the engine of human advancement, and until we accept this and start describing what is wicked as wicked, mohammedism will continue its slow, destructive creep across the globe.

You guys are right. The West must recognize that the Muslims have a strategy, and we must attack that strategy. The Shiites of Lebanon, and hence, Dearborn, have minds that are a mixture of irrationale and logic. They have been using the breeding strategy since forever, recently reaching a birth rate of 8 per family in Lebanon. Lebanon has no way of ruling them without appeasing them. Any rational Muslim leader that existed in Lebanon was assassinated by Syria during its civil war. This is the way hostility and close-mindedness of Muslims is preserved. And with the tithe they pay, Muslims can fund their own brainwashing forever. They give no credence to the embodiment of those they kill or seek to kill; whether it is technological, economical, educational, or civil order. We must kick Islam out of the West immediately, before our countries turn into Lebanons. Many things can be learned from Lebanon’s civil war:
http://www.cedarland.org/war.html
And yes, as the war teaches us, the sooner that we recognize who we are, the better off we'll be to fight it.
Why do I keep using Lebanon examples? Because it is what our countries will become in 50-100 years if we keep tolerating Islam.

JanuaryMan-I thought I would expand the story of Mr. Palestinian and the "fixer-upper" sold to Mr. Israel...
I have an idea: I'll sell you a "fixer-upper" house on an acre lot at top dollar and after you take it and rehab it I'll hit you with some quotes from the Koran and try and take it back. However, I'll run into a problem when you take out a 367 Magnum and tell me to go to hell or go to someplace with Sharia law.....Continued
After that, I go around the neighborhood and tell everybody you stole my house, tell my former tenants (who rented the house before you bought the house and rehabbed it) that Mr. Israel has taken the (now) beautiful house that they used to rent, that I used to own, and that we have to take back the house.
I convince the tenants to become suicide-bomber-tenants. I pay them to blow-up outside your house, kill your pets, but finally they kill a member of your family. At that point you get into your car, well armed with the 357 Magnum, pissed to the eyeballs, and chase us into the next block where we tell everybody that you are a dangerous person who stole our house and that you have be stopped. Soon all of ArabMuslimtown is in an uproar because you are chasing Mr. Palestinian and the tenants through the neighborhood.
Mr. Iran from two blocks away says he's going to end the problem of you (Mr. Israel) with an atomic bomb. Meanwhile, Mr. Jimmy US Cagney tries to help his friend Mr. Israel, who is being shot at by Mr. Palestinian's former tenants, at which point all of ArabMuslimtown threatens to kill Mr. Cagney. Mr. Iran chimes in with a threat to kill Mr. US Cagney. Mr. Cagney is not a happy bunny from the threats coming from Mr. Iran, and lets it be known that neither he or Mr. Israel are going to allow Mr. Iran to nuke them.
Mr. Palestinian and Mr. Paestinian's former tenants are raising hell, shouting verses from the Koran outside the UN. Mr. Rogers from the UN gets involved, as do many folks from outside ArabMuslimtown.....to be continued...stay tuned...

Spot on. Come the time when goats have to be slaughtered for one or the other Islamic feasts, it is young boys who do the throat slitting. They get used to it; from there it is a short step to slitting an Infidel throat. All ofcourse to the chants of "Allahu Akhbar".
What does one do with such people? Some 200 years ago or more, the answer would have been obvious. Some 60 years ago, the answer would have been to confine them in their own lands, with no possibility to emmigrate to lands of the civilised.
Now we allow them to come here by the millions, show "respect" for their culture of throat slitting, suicide bombing, honour killing, forced marriages etc, and then grant them citizenship. Citizenship should be abvailable to only those who have a culture that allows them to accept Western mores. Islam is just too way out there for any believing Muslim to become an honest citizen of Western countries.

What do you expect? The authentic hadiths tell Muslims that they will kill the Jews in End Times :
(Muhammad said:) The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; (Sahih Muslim Book 041, Number 6985).
This is taught across the madrassahs, mosques, homes. There is a video that shows a young little girl being interviewed, and she said that Jews are pigs and/or monkeys (this is from another hadith of Muhammad). And guess what? The interviewers were very pleased and commended her for her comments.
All this is just setting up the stage for the ultimate attack on Israel under al-Mahdi.
at August 31, 2006 4:41 PM
The video you mentioned involves a 3 and a half year old girl.
Back to subject of animal slaughter (DP11/Arjun.Sevak):
There seems to be a clear link between halal slaughter of animals and infidels whether done by adults or children. It is worth noting how the Jews were treated in concentration camps in WWII, ie experimented on and skinned for leather. Halal slaughter should be banned full stop (along with all other forms of animal cruelty).
