Twelve orphaned children of French Islamic State jihadists and two Dutch orphans from the Islamic State “were flown home” from Syria to France and the Netherlands.
In Western culture, orphans are to be taken in, nurtured and socialized to be productive citizens. It is the humanitarian thing to do. With regards to Islamic State children, however, authorities have no clue what to do. These children are likely to be 14 conditioned Islamic State little war machines. Authorities have no idea about whether it is even possible to deprogram them or to integrate them, and they can offer no assurances to the public that these children will not seek out jihadists within their own community. Known as “Cubs of the Caliphate,” Islamic State children are trained to “use weapons and sent out in combat. Counter-terror experts are concerned about the risks posed by such vulnerable children.”
To give some more insight: The little toddler in the disturbing video that you can view at your own risk HERE, “could possibly be the child of a Western convert….The little boy is handed a gun, and he proceeds to pump five rounds into the victim while shrieking, ‘Allahu akbar!’ The last child killer in the video cuts his victim’s throat next to a kiddie train track and then leaves his knife planted in the victim’s back.”
For years, the Islamic State has been brainwashing children — from toddlers to teenagers – to become executioners, soldiers and suicide bombers. They are also conditioned and trained in the jihad ideology, and raised to be proselytizers and preachers. Newsweek reported that since 2015, hundreds of children in Syria were recruited into Islamic State ranks. There were even offices set up for “Ashbal al-Khilafah” (“Cubs of the Caliphate”). “Minors are indoctrinated through sharia courses and prepared for combat in military training camps,” and “children were encouraged to attend public executions and were offered weapons and cash to join the organisation.” In Raqqa, child training camps were set up, in which kids were given blond, blue-eyed dolls. They were then instructed on how to decapitate the dolls.
We all want the best for the world’s children. They are innocent, in need of adult guidance, but the Cubs of the Caliphate are trained to be murderers, trained to hate and to be willing to sacrifice their own lives for the destruction of “disbelievers.” How many among the authorities and “experts” who are advocating for them are willing to open up their homes and expose their own children, themselves, their neighborhoods and their children’s schools to Islamic State children? Most Western authorities have not given any reason for citizens to be confident in their abilities beyond political posturing.
“14 Islamic State Orphans Brought to France, Netherlands,” Breitbart, June 10, 2019:
AFP — Twelve orphaned children of French jihadists were flown home Monday from Syria, along with two Dutch orphans who will be handed over to the Netherlands, the French foreign ministry said.
The latest wave of repatriations of foreigners from crowded camps in northeast Syria targeted a group of children that were “isolated and particularly vulnerable”, the French ministry said, adding some were sick and/or malnourished.They were handed over to French and Dutch officials by Syrian Kurdish authorities, according to Abdelkarim Omar, a senior Kurdish official.
The transfer marks the latest small step in efforts to resolve the problem posed by the huge numbers of stranded foreign jihadists and their families in Syrian camps.
The children, the oldest of whom is aged 10 according to Omar, had been held together with tens of thousands of people who fled recent fighting against the Islamic State group.
Omar said the transfer took place in the town of Ain Issa on Sunday, near Syria’s border with Turkey.
France has one of the largest contingents of jihadists who were captured or turned themselves in, together with their families, in the final stages of the US-backed Kurdish assault on the last fragment of the IS “caliphate”.
Like many Western countries however it has been torn over what to do with the jihadists, insisting that they must face local justice.
– ‘Inhumane treatment’ –
Larger than expected numbers of families emerged from the ruins of the last IS enclave and the fate of tens of thousands of them remains unclear.
France had already repatriated five orphans from Syria in mid-March, as well as a three-year-old girl whose mother was sentenced to life imprisonment in Iraq.
But so far it has refused to let mothers, some of whom were accused of acting as IS propagandists, return with their children.
France’s Human Rights Defender Jacques Toubon last month called on the government to stop the “inhumane and degrading treatment” of French mothers and children living in Syria….
mortimer says
These children are like the Hitler Youth. They are the victims of their parents’ vicious ideology. Their parents voluntarily renounced their citizenship by joining ISIS. European countries are not responsible for these children.
Frederick King says
Tough call. The oldest, ten. Teen agers would be lost causes, and nothing but time bombs. Three to ten ? If they were citizens of Europe, they belong to europe. Born in ISIS lands, they belong to the middle east. I think they should be kept away from any Islamic influences. Let them decide t=when the come of age, unless they prove to be lost causes, and jihadist to the bone. Tough call here. The tradition of taking in war orphans is noble and just.
Mccode says
“Give me the child for the first seven years and I will give you the man.”
Frederick King says
Very good point.
Anjuli Pandavar says
FOLLY! FOLLY! FOLLY! FOLLY! FOLLY!
Christine quite rightly highlights the minor detail of little hardwired killing machines that we neither own nor owe anything to. Not only have their parents freely renounced their Western citizenship (remember the passport bonfires?), they were conceived and born *after* their parents had become “citizens” of the Islamic State (an entity avowedly at war with their parents’ former countries) *and* they were born in either Syria or Iraq. We have as little to do with these “orphans” (another dangerous assumption) as we have with any orphans born to any foreign nationals anywhere outside of our national territories. What makes our countries their “home”?
But that’s not all. Who will raise these children? Muslims do not allow the children of Muslims to be raised by anyone other than Muslims. So, little ISIS time-bombs nurtured in our cosy Muslim ghettos? Is that the plan? Place them with kind, good-hearted non-Muslim adoptive parents and have jihadi thugs kick down their doors in the middle of the night to “rescue” their own? (no prizes for guessing how they’ll repay the kindness) Is that the plan?
Yes, it is very good to place destitute children in loving homes, but why especially now, why especially them. I can think of a hundred countries where children are desperate for loving homes. They existed long before ISIS came along. There is a whole world in which such good can be done. Or is this the old “virtue signalling” raising its ugly head again? Or perhaps our “leaders” are once again trying to curry favour with the battalions of armed jihadis that they’ve been welcoming into our countries with open arms for years. Oh! Was that an “Islamophobic” things to say? Oops!
DiploNerd says
Because if we don’t reach out to these kids in love, we’re basically guaranteeing that they’ll be killing machines for life. When they’re still young, at least we have a chance.
owensgate says
A chance? Probably, but I doubt it. As long as we continue to emphasize their False Religion by giving them New Korans, insisting their “Faith” is taken care of by more than willing imam’s and mosques (“mosque” in Arabic means “Fortress”), instead of what we SHOULD be doing, seeing to it that they get a Christian education, and are taught the Truth, they will come back into our lives later with a purpose and a vengeance.
gravenimage says
A few might benefit from loving homes, but many will be a threat to their foster parents, other children, and community.

Hitler Youth Alfons Heck denounces Islamic child abuse from his perspective as former leader of Hitler Youth
Jean Terry says
It certainly was child abuse, but so different from ISIS, although that is child abuse too. He did not participate in the sadistic murder of Jews and did not know about it until after the war. The ISIS children actually do sadistic and evil acts as directed by their elders.
Paul N Silas says
Islam and Socialism/Communism both are based upon lies and violence to gain power or to keep it. Both are ” Killing Machines” plain and simple . These children can only be saved by the Grace of God.
Jean Terry says
That is so true.
Halal Bacon says
check their diapers for bombs
Jayell says
Because of the actions of their parents, these children can hardly qualify as ‘French’ or ‘Dutch’. They should stay where they are and let the local authorities sort it out one way or the other.
Edmund says
When You travel to ex. Kongo, you will never be native Bantu, nor Your children. You can be only living in that country as citizen. So assuming most of them are just children of imigrants from Asia/Africa, then how the hell were they French or Dutch in first place ? Ahmed/Aisha are not European names.
Mobuyus says
All well and good until liberals demand that the children be placed with practicing muslim families to ensure the children grow up in the faith of the parents.
Paul N Silas says
To quote an old Movie, ( The Lord of War), ” A bullet fired by a 12 year old is just as deadly as one fired by a 40 year old”.
David Grisez says
One of the biggest problems with these orphan children from the Islamic State will be retraining and reeducating them. Before these children are brought into Western Nations there must be some effective program in place to undo what was done to them by the Islamic State. It was evil that the Islamic State trained these children be little jihad fighters.
gravenimage says
Most will insist they be placed in Muslim homes–where the indoctrination in most cases will continue…
PRCS says
“They are also conditioned and trained in the jihad ideology,
Christine, you’re a talented writer, but there is no standalone jihad ideology.
The ideology is Islam, of which jihad is an inseparable component.
winoceros says
Maybe an inelegant phrasing, but the thrust of the sentence was to highlight an upbringing of culture of violent jihad, as opposed to the armchair Islam practiced by millions.
tim gallagher says
I keep thinking that our western countries are just too decent and civilised and generous for our own good. I mean, those qualities are fantastic qualities to have, but, when we are dealing with barbaric, vicious Islam, they don’t work. All I can say is that I hope that this generous move doesn’t come back and bite the people of these countries on the bum. I feel that most Muslims are never on side with our western values, and can never be. Look at their Koran, etc. They are never British or French or Australian, their loyalty is to islam and they are all committed to imposing Islam on us all. What a terrible prospect. These children will be no different. I think this move is a mistake.
PRCS says
“I feel that most Muslims are never on side with our western values, and can never be.”
Given that what Qur’an and sunn’ah command, demand and expect of Muslims is antithetical to Western values, it seems impossible to me that one can simultaneously assert affinity to Western values and allegiance to Islam.
tim gallagher says
I couldn’t agree more, PRCS. I guess sometimes there do seem to be some Muslims who do assimilate into the way of life in our countries, but I can’t say I actually know any of them well enough to know if that is genuinely the case. But, like you, I look at what the Koran and other basic texts of Islam teach and I can’t help but consider Islam as 100% incompatible with our values. It is them or us when it comes to Islam. If they win, we’ll all have Islam’s barbarities imposed on us. To my mind, it’s a disaster letting Muslims into our countries, whether it’s these children of any other Muslims. It’s just importing so much trouble as we all should realise by now. Yet so many people still don’t seem to realise this yet. We’ve already had so much trouble from Muslims and yet many people still don’t get it.
PRCS says
Agree.
As I recall, PM Morrison is more in tune with the problem than previous office holders, eh?
tim gallagher says
PRCS, yes, Prime Minister Morrison does seem to be aware of the problem. Some years back, he was the minister in charge of stopping the invasion of Australia by many illegals (er, “refugees”). He did a good job in that ministry. Peter Dutton, the minister for Home Affairs, who has been in charge of the ministry which has to secure our borders, has done a great job in the last few years. He is a strong politician who can’t be swayed by the criticism and hate from the lefties, which he continually cops. To my mind, we should have tougher policies when it comes to Islam, but Morrison and Dutton are pretty good. And, in a democracy, you can’t have policies which go way beyond what the vast majority of the population support. I suspect that not enough Australians have woken up to Islam yet for us to have really tough policies yet. Hopefully, one day soon most people will have woken up.
Rufolino says
This decision goes to show: Europe is still completely dominated by fatal political correctness.
tim gallagher says
I agree, Rufolino. I often say that I just can’t understand why almost everybody hasn’t woken up to the trouble that Islam brings into all non-Muslim countries. I know there is the left wing, globalist crowd who actually want to work with the Muslims to try to destroy our western way of life, but, apart from them, I think everyone should have woken up by now. There is so much evidence by now.
abad says
Raise these children? Are you kidding me?
I’m sure they all come with their own suicide belts. Just make sure they do not detonate while around non-Moslems.
Eric Jones says
Perhaps these children are young enough to be turned around. There is no telling how traumatized these kids are. Their current condition is a result of the evil decisions of their parents. These kids need a chance.
If these kids can be turned around then we may gain glues on how to turn Islamist around.
How many of us were always peaces and creme when we were teenagers?
Eric

I am *all* for second chances, but this is more like Russian roulette…

14 Islamic State orphans flown “home” to France, Netherlands
……………………
Suicidal insanity.
Adam says
If we stop calling them orphan kids and start referring to them as ballistic dummies, does that help or hurt the cause?
somehistory says
Ah, children. When raising children, there is no guarantee how they will turn out. In the Bible, it says to “train up a boy” and when “he grows old, he will not depart from it.” This is excellent advice and works most of the time.
However, even when boys are raised by loving parents, they don’t necessarily follow the parent’s example. Just a reading of the Bible Books of Kings will illustrate that some “good kings” raised up sons that became “evil kings.” One has to question if they “trained” them as the Bible said.
Taking in a child of others who were raising that child to hate and to fight and kill those who are hated has so many obstacles that the ordinary parent raising a child from birth does not face.
If the child has not become so indoctrinated in the business of hate and murder, and is put in a home where the caretakers will furnish good examples for the child, there could be reasonable chances of a good result. A three year old little girl could be raised to love others and treat them as they would wish to be treated.
If these children are put in the homes of moslims in France and The Netherlands, everyone can be assured that the hate training will continue. It’s what moslims do because they are all taught from the same unholy book of evil and hate.
But since they are children…the oldest being 10..and they did not choose the life their parents forced upon them, the moral and ethical thing to do is to try and help them. To leave them to starvation and disease is “cruel and unusual punishment.”
Laura says
Kindness and compassion are useless against hatred, cruelty and depravity; we can only defeat those people by being even more brutal than they are towards us.. Candles, vigils and the insistance that ‘the terrorists will never win’ are woefully inadequate when the enemy is so fanatically dedicated to our eventual annihilation. The elites are not going to protect us, so, we have to wean ourselves off Strictly Come Dancing, BGT and Love Island, and instead get ourselves trained up to tackle the Jihad threat.
No Muzzies Here says
Calling them orphans will inspire many people in civilized countries to feel sorry for them. Do not let emotion overpower reason. If you show them love they will show you hate, as dictated by their religion.
Giacomo Latta says
Send them all to Sweden. Apparently the middle-aged Lesbians there have use for such items.
Shirley Ann says
I wonder if Western BUREAUCRATS have any intentions of deprograming these “Children” brought from the Bowels of ISIS? It is more likely that these Children will be set loose on the Host Population, to gift them with the Islamist Culture! What kind of Parent would send their child off to School, if they knew that a Young Thug would be waiting with his knife & Box-Cutters?
European pagan says
Please take only those orphans who are under the age of 5. Over 5 they are already dangerous. But I would like to see how a little child finds the way from Syria to France ;D
Terra Nova says
It was a “secret mission, from the French government and the Dutch, the parents of the dutch were killed
Now, I don’t believe their mumbo jumbo one bit. The Dutch government was not informed. Crazy “State secrets”, they could not tell, because it was too dangerous. I heard the dutch parlement yesterday about it.
People don’t know what to ask in chambers, unbelievable! Ministers avoid the questions, and the 2nd chamber takes it all. Now they first promised to take no jihadis in, but now they start already to say that they have to take Avery case separately, so you and I know what will happen.
And later the parents who had to stay behind will accuse the western countries of kidnapping their children,
then the grown up children will get angry and will start to kill again, that is how it always goes.
I want to know how they found 2 little children in this big camp, and I first want real proof they are parentless, to my believes somebody private must have been a between one and requested this, because 2 days ago the Dutch government still said , they could not get anybody out, because it was to dangerous, and see here, the next day there was a frenchman there from the government, a few French soldiers to protect them and somebody from the dutch
government., while the night before the Dutch minister of justice had proclaimed that no one would be helped form the Jihadi’s, but immediately the muslims were in uproar already and see what happened right away, so you see, don’t expect anything from the Western GOVERNMENTS. They are liiing first class. They must have learned fast from Islam. We will see.
Anjuli Pandavar says
You know how passengers on airplanes sometimes “take the law into their own hands” to stop the deportation of Muslim rapists and terrorists? Well, it works both ways.
