Kuwait also plans to try to keep the young from being misled by jihad ideology. I hope to see how they will explain the jihad verses in the Qur’an and Hadith. From AFP:
KUWAIT said today it was questioning 11 people in connection with an alleged campaign to recruit volunteers to fight US forces in Iraq and that some had confessed to undergoing military training.
“Eleven people have been referred to the prosecution for investigation of their role in … enlisting youth for so-called jihad (holy war) in Iraq,” Interior Minister Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmed al-Jaber al-Sabah said….
Sheikh Nawaf said some of the suspects were teenagers who had apparently been “brainwashed” with extremist ideas….
At its weekly meeting today, the Kuwaiti Cabinet discussed measures to protect young people from the “dangerous ideas propagated by some extremists”.
The drive to prevent youngsters from being misled would be co-ordinated by several ministries, including those of the interior, social affairs and Islamic affairs, Deputy Premier and Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs Mohammed Deifallah Sharar said.
