Grooming Children for Jihad: The Islamic State

[FrodosPet]

"In the name of God, my name is Daoud and I'm 14 years old. I'd like to join the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and to kill with them. Because they fight infidels and apostates. The Islamic State, they haven't done anything wrong and God willing they will not. We love the Islamic State."

1. Tabula rasa...

When you're taught all your life that this life is just the waiting room for the really good life to come, and your parents, neighbors, every one you know, believe it, too, it's only natural that these things are approached in this fashion. A real shame.

2. It happens here too

3. Do they then start chasing down Catholics and gunning them down?

What is the ratio of beheadings between the two groups?

Brainwashing children with extremist, exclusivist religious dogma is wrong, whether it is little American kids in Jesusland or little Belgian kids with their dad in the Caliphate.

But there is a huge difference in which group kills gleefully, in cold blood. One group says "God is gonna send you to hell", the other says, "And we are going to speed up the process".

4. They prefer carpet bombing

And dropping MOAB bombs on Muslims.

Can't speak for these kids though. I am sure once they are old enough, they will fuel the next generation of war.

[FrodosPet]

5. So how many MOABs have they dropped?

How many cities have had entire populations wiped out?

Try as you might, IT IS NOT THE SAME THING!

6. Ask any Iraqi

That survived it. They will tell you all about it.

7. You're wasting your time with FrodosPet

He's a walking, talking example of the concept of confirmation bias.

[FrodosPet]

8. But what about the difference between the Jesusland kids and...

The "Islamic State" kids?

Do you equate the two groups?

Are thousands of kids coming out of these camps ready and anxious to personally slaughter and behead Mormons and Catholics?

If you have information that they are, please share.

9. I have no interest in wasting my time with you either

Maybe you could go ask someone on AtlasShrugs. Shoo, now.

[FrodosPet]

10. Yep, all zap, no content!

There IS NO equivalence between the two groups, but that notion does not jive with "we are as bad as they are", so it is deflector shields on max.
