As far as the Islamic State is concerned, what they’re doing is meritorious and pleasing to Allah, so why shouldn’t children participate? “‘Our youngest martyr yet’ – Isil boasts about death of 10-year-old,” by Harriet Alexander, Telegraph, October 9, 2014 (thanks to Anne Crockett):
Fighters from the Islamic State have proudly posted photos of a child who they claim is the youngest person to die while fighting on their side.
The 10-year-old boy is named by the Islamists as Abu Ubaidah. A Twitter account run by Isil sympathisers said on October 9 that he was killed, alongside his father, by an American air strike two weeks ago.
US aircraft have been carrying out air strikes across Iraq and northern Syria, and the account did not say where he was killed.
But the disturbing series of photos posted by the Isil account show a smiling boy wearing a woollen hat and combat fatigues, posing frequently with guns.
In one image the machine gun is almost bigger than he is – standing in the hallway of a house, he beams to the camera as he strikes a pose with the gun.
In another, he is standing beside a truck which has been turned into an improvised tank, with a metal sheet covering the windscreen.
Isil’s recruitment of child soldiers has been long-known.
Photos taken from Raqqa, the heartland of Isil, shows lines of balaclava-clad children marching through the streets….
Auckland says
Surely now moderate muslims will take to the streets in protest?
Don McKellar says
What a sickening story. At least his future life as an Islamic supremacist mass murder and enslaver of innocent people has been cut short.
Beagle says
Mufti in Santa hat: What do you want for Eid, Abu Ubaidah?
Abu Ubaidah: I want to slaughter the rafidah and die a martyr struggling in Allah’s cause.
Mufti in Santa hat: Wonderful! Anything else?
Abu Ubaidah: I would love a STEYR AUG in 5.56 NATO.
Mufti in Santa hat: You’ll shoot your eye out with that, kid.
Oliver says
I agree with mr. Mc kellar- at least his life as a terrorist is cut short. But I have a question or two.
1. Were he and his father(?_man who he is posed iwith her, assuming it is his father) from Iraq or Syria or a Muslim country, or were they from one of the PCMC countries like the US, UK, Sweeden, etcz/
2. Where is his mother? Was (is?) she also a jihadist (or a sex partner for jihadists) or dead or just like typical Muslim women, considered dirt and not worthy of having an opinion?
I just cannot see a NORMAL (operative word, usually does not apply to Muslims, male or female) mother allowing 9or wanting0 a 10 year old to be in combat situation.
Jen says
If the mother did allow it, then it would have been a source of pride for her. What could be better than ensuring your son’s ticket to paradise? There was a mother in Turkey who had separated from her husband and she decided to take the child with her, to live in the so-called Islamic State. Saying something about not wanting her child to be exposed to “bad influences” in the west. But it’s so much better to endanger your child’s life by taking them into a war zone right?
Don McKellar says
“Saying something about not wanting her child to be exposed to “bad influences” in the west.”
So she leaves Turkey for ISIS where they’re beheading and mass murdering, and the entire “state” is funded exclusively by theft, extortion, ransoms, and black market trading? How can a human being become so blind and delusional? I try not to be dumbfounded by Islamic supremacists anymore, but there just seems to be no end to the bottom where their brains will sink and see the world backwards.
Jen says
It still amazes me sometimes. I don’t know how a person without an actual psychiatric condition could have things so distorted in their own mind. The mother herself was not Turkish, if I remember correctly but the husband was. It seems the “state” is also providing mothers with baby supplies like diapers/nappies for free, to cater for those mothers arriving at the IS with children. Sickening.
dumbledoresarmy says
It’s the Muslim human sacrifice system.
From childhood, she’s been programmed to be terrified of the “torments of the grave” that await her after death.
BUT if a/ she herself dies in jihad , slaying and being slain, OR if b/ her offspring dies in jihad, slaying and being slain…then that means there are *no* torments of the grave, instead, express ticket to ‘paradise’. Because the shaheed doesn’t just get a free pass himself, he gets to provide such a pass for a set number of others.
See how it works? – if her kid offs himself in the process of murdering others, both he and she escape the dreaded “torments of the grave”.
Human sacrifice cult, plain and simple. Murder and suicide wrapped up in the same nasty parcel.
Jen says
Muslim girl believes in benefits for family on judgement day if she dies a martyr: ” ‘I will see you on the day of judgement… I will take you to heaven, I will hold your hand. I will become a martyr.'”
Her father said: “She was the best daughter we could have. We don’t know what happened to her. We told her there was nothing wrong with prayer or reading the Koran.”
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-29082435
Jen says
What “happened” to her was that she read the Qur’an. If they told her there was something wrong with what the Qur’an teaches, they might not be in this mess.
Wtf? says
We all need to take a deep breath and exhale. For months we have seen stories of complete barbarism in the name of a so called religion. We have been aghast that people in our own countries would even support such actions. However we ,the civilised conglomerate of the West, have assumed that a degree of decency or reasonableness must eventually surface amongst the rag heads. The answer is no. We can no longer include any Muslim as having any morals or reasonableness in their character. They have lamented the success of Western nations for eons without ever looking at the root cause of their own malaise. We cannot judge these savages by our morals. Once we all understand it the bombing of so called civilians in ISIS towns should no longer be seen as an obstacle rather an encouragement to wipe every one of them from the face of the planet. So when we see stories like this 10 year old boy we must not try to sympathise with his plight, his future was sealed the moment he was born a Muslim.
Salah says
“..his future was sealed the moment he was born a Muslim.”
As long as there is life, there is hope.
It may be too late for this poor child, but for many other Muslims it’s not. Many Muslims are starting to wake up and question their faith. Many of them have already left Islam. Their numbers are growing by the day.

Jen says
I saw that video of the Egyptian man awhile ago. Is he still alive?
http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3325/egypt-kill-christian-reward
Salah says
He is, and he’s got a whole bunch of similar videos on Youtube. And guess what – those who were seeking his death are rotting in prison (i.e. the Muslim Brotherhood thugs and their allies.)
Michael says
That was good to see, Saleh. Thanks.
The spiritual vacuum among Moslems, however, will become even more acute as they leave this parody of a religion in ever larger numbers. There might some day be, or maybe there already is, a great harvest out there for people who are willing to help lead Moslems and former Moslems to Christ.
But Christians who assist them in this way are truly putting their lives on the line.
citycat says
Uhmmm, so they knew in advance he would die, hence the photos beforehand.
ConnectingDots says
Maybe the boy thought that they were going to give him a baclava instead of a balaclava?
Jerry says
But in a place like Gaza, the “Peaceful Moderate Muslims” and their Lunatic Left Western collaborators would try to charge an Israeli soldier who killed one of those in self defence with not only murder but also with war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Wtf? says
Two less to worry about. I wonder if ISIS have widow welfare and health plans? Or are they married of to the next hairy member of the family. I am sure they thought this would cause a revolution across the world which even the dhiminis would join in. Lol sad sad people.
vlparker says
Islam- the ultimate child abuse.
fair_dinkum says
what can you say to that?
sick.
Mo says
Pure evil.
Christ had some strong words about those who corrupt and destroy innocent children. (Another point of difference between Christianity and Islam!)
Bob Overstreet says
I’m not surprised by the story of the 10 year old boy who became a martyr for “Allah”. Jihadists know only one language – kill those who oppose their views. It’s time we as Christians woke up to the reality of Islamic thought and recognize that they will never, ever agree with those of us who know the Lord because there is a fundamental difference between us – Jesus Christ as the Son of God. And Jesus said that those who do not know Him as Savior and Lord will be hated by the world of those who don’t believe He is such. The war we are in is not an ordinary war but a supernatural one in which spiritual realities are paramount. Let’s get ready for what’s next.
Mo says
@ Bob Overstreet
“It’s time we as Christians woke up to the reality of Islamic thought and recognize that they will never, ever agree with those of us who know the Lord because there is a fundamental difference between us – Jesus Christ as the Son of God. ”
Absolutely right! (And that’s one of the many reasons it drives me nuts when Christian leaders start talking about “we worship the same God” and blah, blah, blah.

Cindy says
These people are so sick, it is hard for us to comprehend. I could not imagine sending my 9 yr. old grandson into fight with a gun or any other form of fighting!!!!!!!! I see why in the Old Testament God said to destroy everything and everyone in the towns they that won. He knew how evil is always present looking for someone to do it’s bidding. And if you don’t destroy every bit of it, it will come back and get you. They are filled with hate and they pass that on to their children and grand-children. I want to pass the love of Jesus Christ on to my children and grand-children. What a contrast. It is the ultimate Good vs evil.
salamander says
Shocked? not at all, I have heard and seen enough of Islam that it’s ability to shock me has long gone.
Sorrythishappening says
They die as matyrs in order to make it paradise and be with their 70 virgins or is 70 year old virgin, what’s the difference, they think dying as a matyr will keep them out of hell. That is the exact thing that taking them there. “Hey you g-u-y-y-s” wake up that is the very thing that’s taking you to hell. No paradise, no virgins, no laying back for eternity eating grapes and being fanned by beautiful women, just pure torturous hell, fire and brimestone. You call that paradise. Better wake up real soon.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
10 years old, hmm. So, being a martyr, we know from the Holy Ko-Ran that he gets into Jannat, the Moslem porno heaven. Prepubescent girls, hidden pearls, flowing streams of wine, eternal erections, cheese plates for energy, thrones, the whole ball of wax, just as Larry Flynt envisions it.
I call out to my Moslem friends: Is this right, to put a 10 year old man into this orgy of self-congratulation? There should be a Moslem Purgatory to let the kid wait until it’s proper. All things in their time. A sense of decency, please.
Elisheva14 says
Famous Quote of Golda Meir, Former PM of Israel:
Peace will come when the Arabs start to love their children more than they hate us.
Children to these monsters are just useful warriors in the Jihad for Allah. They are brainwashed from the time they are born to hate and kill the infidel. They willingly do what they are taught. The UN will give them a free pass and instead investigate Israel for Human Rights violations.
160 children lost their lives building the Gaza Terror Tunnels into Israel.

That guy in the picture managed to grow Phil Spector’s hair onto his own chin. That’s impressive. He might have failed at every other attempt at being human but the beard…
Oliver says
To Jen- and Don M. commenting on my earlier post–re the mother.
I also remember, but not from where (if I had read it on a post scrolling though archives or when I was an occasional visitor, or in a Wall Street Journal (article, editorial, letter op-ed) about (I think it was Palestinian Muslim) woman who had a bunch ( 7 or so) children, and most had died as homicide bombers. And her statement–she would be happy if all died as homicide bombers.
I could not picture a mother saying this, then, now now.
Just sick.
Jen says
Only Islam could make a mother celebrate the death of her own children. It’s hard to comprehend.
Inka Hutz says
This article simply reinforces the logic we are up against. Muslims having as many children as they are capable of to aid in their goal of world domination. Not caring about the lives of these children as individuals but only the fulfillment of the Islamic agenda.
Michael says
It staggers me how a father could put his kid in such a situation. It’s totally nuts.
Michael says
Allah=Molech
abad says
Islam endorses pedophilia, the rape and murder of children, the rape and murder of women, the rape and murder of non-Moslems all in the name of the Quran and Allah.
No Moslem will ever peak out against what it endorses. One cannot condemn what one supports.
Oh and they have sex with camels too
