“Allahu Akbar!” at the video’s conclusion”¦
In PJ Lifestyle I discuss a wonderful new parenting technique in Dagestan:
“The Child is father of the Man,” wrote William Wordsworth, and nowhere is this truer today than in the Russian Muslim Republic of Dagestan, from which hailed the Boston Marathan jihad mass murderers, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. In a telling indication of what kind of environment the Tsarnaevs grew up in, children in Dagestan have found a new source of fun far more engrossing than Assassins Creed or World of Warcraft: in imitation of their parents, they”re filming their own jihad videos.
The children of Dagestan are not so concerned, at least so far, about beheading Western journalists or demanding the end to this or that “occupation” or else many more will die; as is understandable given their age and experience, their jihads are somewhat smaller in scope. Brandishing weapons (which Russia Today assures us are toys), they”re filming themselves demanding good grades in school or money from their parents or others.
They are, of course, imitating what they have seen their parents and other adults around them do: Dagestan is a hotbed of jihad activity, and jihadists there are no different from jihadists the world over: they love filming themselves waving guns around, issuing threats against the infidels, spouting Qur’an verses to buttress their argument, and posting them on the Internet for the world to see.
The children of Dagestan have no doubt grown up seeing this — watching the adults around them film such videos, and gather around to watch them, and spend evenings planning them. So now they”re making their own and posting them to YouTube by themselves. They”ve been raised in a culture of violence. It is what they know.
One of these videos features a young man who looks as if he is about twelve years old. He tells his teacher that he wants all A”s and only A”s entered into his school record. Then he adds, with solemn face and gun prominently in view: “If you don’t do that, I’ll first kill Khalimat and Nurmagomed and then come at you. Insha”Allah [Allah willing].”
Another video features a boy recalling that another boy named Mohammed once beat him up. He demands that Mohammed give him a motorcycle and two million rubles ($60,000) within five days, or else he will kill Mohammed’s son “and a couple of other people.”
