Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Iran opens The City of Games for Revolutionary Children, where children pretend to attack U.S. and Israel

Dec 8, 2016 12:17 pm By Robert Spencer

“The children follow various paths simulating fighting the enemy, and at some places, the children learn about simple [combat] methods such as firing plastic artillery shells at a simulated enemy as well as aiming and firing a rifle with plastic bullets at [an effigy] of Netanyahu and at U.S. and Israeli flags.”

How do you think these children will fare against those who are being trained to be sensitive to microaggressions and flee to safe spaces at the slightest sign of challenge?

“Iran’s Mashhad Municipality Opens Military-Religious Amusement Park – To Reinforce Revolutionary Values For Children,” MEMRI, December 1, 2016 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

On September 24, 2016, the Iranian news agency Raja News, which is close to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), published an interview with Child and the Future Cultural Center director Hamid Sadeghi about an event held during the second half of September that is a military-religious amusement park, called The City of Games for Revolutionary Children. Sadeghi, who operates under the aegis of the Mashhad municipality and also runs the Sharbehesht.ir website, said that his center had set up and inaugurated the City of Games park, and that it is open free of charge to children aged eight through 13. It should be noted that this is the second City of Games event held by the Mashhad municipality; the first was last summer (see MEMRI Special Dispatches – No. 6098, Revolutionary, Anti-West Indoctrination Of Children By Municipality Of Mashhad, Iran, July 08, 2015)….

“Cultural Center director Hamid Sadeghi: “The City of Games for Revolutionary Children [park was opened] at Mashhad’s Kooh Sangi Park by the Child and the Future Cultural Center organization. It will be open September 18 to September 28, and children aged eight to 13 will be admitted free. At the City of Games, we are trying to convey to the children messages about fighting, the Holy Defense [i.e. Iran-Iraq War] and current global issues, through games, amusements, and group activities.

“After registering, the children enter the City of Games compound and split up into groups of eight to 10. They don uniforms and go through 12 [activity] stations.

“One of [our] cultural experts guides the children at the City of Games. First they are brought into the stations of the Ghadir [Shi’ite holiday honoring Imam ‘Ali’s succession to the Prophet Muhammad] and of the Lovers of Ahl Al-Bayt [the family of the Prophet Muhammad descended from ‘Ali], and [the guide] explains to them about the Mahdi [the Shi’ite messiah]. Then they reach the station of the Rule of the Jurisprudent [Velayat-e Faqih], and then the station of the Revolution, where the guide explains about the Islamic Revolution and how the Iranian nation vanquished the [Shah’s] dictatorship. An explanation is also provided about the directives of the Imam [Ayatollah Ruhollah] Khomeini and [Supreme] Leader Khamenei. Each group of children is assigned a commander who must be obeyed.

“Next, the children enter the first station of the Holy Defense, which houses the dome of the Tomb of Imam Reza [the eighth imam]. Like the fighters during the eight years of the Holy Defense, the children take leave of the Imam Reza and set out for the [battle]fronts.

“The children follow various paths simulating fighting the enemy, and at some places, the children learn about simple [combat] methods such as firing plastic artillery shells at a simulated enemy as well as aiming and firing a rifle with plastic bullets at [an effigy] of Netanyahu and at U.S. and Israeli flags. Here the guide tells the children a story about some of the operations that were carried out during the eight years of the Holy Defense.

“[After] the children are victorious in the war, they enter the station of the defense of the Shrine of Zaynab [the granddaughter of Muhammad and the daughter of ‘Ali, who according to Shi’ite tradition is buried in Damascus] and learn about defending the holy places, about the fighting in Syria against ISIS, and about anti-ISIS thought. At this stage, the children are tasked with finding bullets, each of which have a single letter written on it, and then play a game to complete sentences according to the guide’s instructions. That is, the guide asks a question and the children have to find letters and make words and sentences out of them to answer his question.

“After that, the children have a contest throwing balls at effigies of ISIS and the Saudi royal family, and finish the station [activity] in triumph. Next they enter an area simulating the Shrine of Zaynab, and watch a video on the defense of the shrine. Finally, they receive a cultural souvenir gift, and then they enter the final stage.

“At the final station, the children learn that the most important element[s] for attaining victory are wisdom and intelligence for fighting the enemy.

“At this station, the children are blindfolded and asked to throw a ball at an Israeli flag in the form of a puzzle and knock it down, and then to assemble a puzzle of an Iranian flag….

    Western politicians have been lying to us since 9-11, trying to convince us that Islam IS NOT AT WAR WITH WEST… no! They are PEACEFUL.

    Iran is clearly not PEACEFUL, but hell-bent on starting a war with the West. This ‘narrative-delusion-fantasy-LIE’ must stop now.

    This mind programming of children to become jihadist for Shi ‘ite Islam is outright child abuse. Shame on those mullahs and other Muslim adults in Iran who have a hand in this and also those who directly engage in this unconscionable brainwashing of children for the jihad. This a totally despicable to the extreme. This violent Islamic indoctrination ,manipulation and exploitation of those boy’s is wrong ,demonic and wicked. The mullahs as well as other adult Muslims . who have set this all up will have answer to the God of the Bible for setting up those Islamic mind programming centers for those children . As seen in the Bible in Roman 14:12. Furthermore some decent and rational people might stop and wonder and then ask “How can the mullahs and other adults Muslims in Iran set up such heinous Islamic mind programming camps for the those boy’s ?” The answer to that question is found in the Bible. For the Bible informs it readers that there are some men who are so heartless, cruel, and callous because they have had “their conscience seared with a hot iron.” First Timothy 4:2. [K.J.V.]
    The “hot iron” in this case is Islam.

      Keep in mind these are the same Iranians who had children carrying plastic “Keys to Enter Paradise” clearing minefields in the war with Iraq.

        marty, you are so right!! Iranians are using children, donkeys, and dogs, to carry bombs, and commit “suiside” to kill anyone and anything.. They preach the blood of their children will cleanse the ground of Israel when they take over…. Well, I have a cure for that idea, it is called a NUKE!!!

      ‘Shame on those mullahs’ Walter? Seriously?

      The mullahs in question have sex with underage boys on a regular basis, delighting in hurting and injuring them. They are sexual sadists. And children? Why, they’re their highest mohammedan wet dream!

      So I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for the islamic trash to take itself to the curb. We’ll have to do that. And we will, once Pres. Trump is inaugurated.

    Yet another reason why we should occupy Iran. Not only to destroy the government that preaches our demise, we can teach these children a better way of life

      That would be a waste of time, money, and the lives of Americans. Saving muslims from themselves is not worth the effort.

        Dec 8, 2016 at 10:21 pm

        I’m afraid I have to agree with clap. Our trying to bring democracy to Iraq and Afghanistan did not work–it would work no better with Iran.

          But if we allow Iran access to nuclear weapons (as Obama has done), Iran will eventually come to us, one way or another…

          This must be stopped; and sadly, it will take force, unless the UN is replaced with an organisation which is NOT dominated by Islam, which has the rest of the nations’ representatives running scared…

          Daniel Moynihan-style honesty is needed ungently.

    The recipe of Islam is always the same.

    Shiite on a shingle or eggs suni-cide up.

    It’s the curried shit that makes you falafel

    Seems like entertainment for adults as well as early hate-teaching.
    Is there no treatment of children in the ME that would be considered abusive?? They are physically and mentally manipulated in any sick way that satisfies their elders/owners.

    This sort of fun park is just the thing for “Christianblood”. I wonder if our Iranian Shi”ite friend (yes, time to Out him) has been? Have you taken your kids there yet Christianblood? Stomped all over that Israeli flag?

    Can you just imagine the full on Media firestorm to result if such a “Park” to train kids to blast and kill the “Islamic Terrorists” were open in ANY WESTERN NATION ??????
    For reasons no one can comprehend, both our Media AND political leaders are “In Love” with islamic terrorism! !!!!
    When will the Lunacy end?

    Dec 9, 2016 at 12:59 pm

    Physically I am too old (close to 79). Mentally my prayer life is based in Christianity, and centers on the defeat of Islam, and conversion of the people brought up in the curse of hate based religion of Islam, to the love based religion of Jesus Christ. It is a so much better way to live!.

    This the same Iran that is deeply loved and respected by Justin Trudeau. The same terrorist Iran that Trudeau is bring back to Canada and having them open up their embassy. Closer relations with terrorist islamists?
