- ChristmasPoo, on 04/21/2009, -6/+65They blow up so fast
- DrVic, on 04/22/2009, -1/+32I remember simpler times, when children were used for cheap labor.
- borez, on 04/22/2009, -5/+26Kids nowadays eh... anything sets them off.
- NCSUspoon, on 04/22/2009, -4/+21This is a new low. Even for Muslim extremists.
- McNerd, on 04/22/2009, -2/+16It's new, but I'm not sure it's the lowest. Did you see the story of the woman they caught in Iraq a couple months back? She had organized for dozens of random women to be gang-raped. This was so that, afterwards, they could be manipulated into believing the only way to absolve their shame was to become martyrs.
Still, "Birds of Paradise"? That's sad as hell. - footbag01, on 04/22/2009, -5/+17Al Qaeda wasn't in Iraq before the Iraq war, before the war Iraq was the top medical destination in the middle east. It wasn't as bad of a place as say Afghanistan. Very well educated and developed.
It got ***** up by the war. - tripwire45, on 04/22/2009, -6/+16The Palestinians and Iranians have been running "suicide schools" for their children for decades. Why is this suddenly news now?
- seanayb, on 04/22/2009, -2/+12This appears to be funny to some of you.
I...well, *****. You just suck. That's all. - inactive, on 04/22/2009, -1/+9How about using retarded people as suicide bombers? That one's been done as well.
- alfredscakes, on 04/22/2009, -0/+8Chimney sweeps
- rv361162, on 04/22/2009, -0/+7I hope you burn in a car slowly after an accident that wasn't your fault.
- inactive, on 04/22/2009, -0/+7But its not a new low, they've been using children soldiers from the beginning.
- m0tbaillie, on 04/22/2009, -0/+7Let's not forget the museum full of priceless artifacts - a thousand years of Middle Eastern civilization - that was destroyed/looted.
- inactive, on 04/22/2009, -4/+10The CIA is really getting out of hand.
/s - inactive, on 04/21/2009, -10/+16They were ***** up wayy before the war, but no denying it hasnt helped.
- diggenerate, on 04/22/2009, -1/+7not much different than what the VC did.
- WelcomeAboard, on 04/22/2009, -6/+12This has been going on before the Iraq war. It's not just in Iraq either. Maybe the Iraq war pulled it into Iraq but there's always been propaganda between the Israelites and Palestinians. I remember 4 years ago watching a video of Palestinians dressed up as Israelites "shooting" Palestinians in order to stir up more hate towards the Israelites and feel sorry for the Palestinians. They also have children's shows that encourage little kids to commit suicide by blowing themselves up near Infidels and attain glory. It's not anything we've done. I know we like to think that every action we make causes the evil in the rest of the world but this evil is not caused by America at all. It's their religion.
- inactive, on 04/22/2009, -17/+22Religion of peace and understanding.
- BambinosKrib, on 04/22/2009, -3/+8You're an insightful one aren't you..
- auricomnet, on 04/22/2009, -6/+10***** ISLAM
- DrVic, on 04/22/2009, -4/+8you win
/thread - amabaie, on 04/21/2009, -2/+6Nasty stuff.
- SteelChicken, on 04/22/2009, -2/+6still true, though isn't it?
- TheBifman, on 04/22/2009, -1/+5edit:
please add an /s to my comment - waspbr, on 04/22/2009, -1/+5nope this was made possible by poverty, ignorance and war. In several other conflict zones children are used as soldier. examples range from civil war plagued countries in Africa, to gang in the americas and drug traffic world wide.
Extremists flourish in poverty and ignorance, also being in a war zone does not help one bit.
religion in not the cause of this, extremism is, and if anything the war in Iraq and Afghanistan has made the whole situation worse. - inactive, on 04/22/2009, -1/+5You forgot /s after your comment.... at least I hope you forgot. It's probably why you're being dugg down so much.
- pukiman, on 04/22/2009, -1/+5These children, are the future virgins that the shahids to come will get.
- OniSyphon, on 04/22/2009, -2/+5Dugg. Not because it's new or that surprising but so more people can see what's going on the world. Falls into the same category of those with a lack appreciation for the sanctity of children, using them in Africa to fight their guerrilla wars or in SE Asia for child prostitution.
- SteelChicken, on 04/22/2009, -0/+3no, its not new
- akeldama, on 04/22/2009, -2/+5"During the Iran-Iraq War, the Ayatollah Khomeini imported 500,000 small plastic keys from Taiwan. The trinkets were meant to be inspirational. After Iraq invaded in September 1980, it had quickly become clear that Iran's forces were no match for Saddam Hussein's professional, well-armed military. To compensate for their disadvantage, Khomeini sent Iranian children, some as young as twelve years old, to the front lines. There, they marched in formation across minefields toward the enemy, clearing a path with their bodies. Before every mission, one of the Taiwanese keys would be hung around each child's neck. It was supposed to open the gates to paradise for them.
At one point, however, the earthly gore became a matter of concern. "In the past," wrote the semi-official Iranian daily Ettelaat as the war raged on, "we had child-volunteers: 14-, 15-, and 16-year-olds. They went into the minefields. Their eyes saw nothing. Their ears heard nothing. And then, a few moments later, one saw clouds of dust. When the dust had settled again, there was nothing more to be seen of them. Somewhere, widely scattered in the landscape, there lay scraps of burnt flesh and pieces of bone." Such scenes would henceforth be avoided, Ettelaat assured its readers. "Before entering the minefields, the children [now] wrap themselves in blankets and they roll on the ground, so that their body parts stay together after the explosion of the mines and one can carry them to the graves."
These children who rolled to their deaths were part of the Basiji, a mass movement created by Khomeini in 1979 and militarized after the war started in order to supplement his beleaguered army.The Basij Mostazafan--or "mobilization of the oppressed"--was essentially a volunteer militia, most of whose members were not yet 18. They went enthusiastically, and by the thousands, to their own destruction. "The young men cleared the mines with their own bodies," one veteran of the Iran-Iraq War recalled in 2002 to the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine. "It was sometimes like a race. Even without the commander's orders, everyone wanted to be first."
The sacrifice of the Basiji was ghastly. And yet, today, it is a source not of national shame, but of growing pride. Since the end of hostilities against Iraq in 1988, the Basiji have grown both in numbers and influence. They have been deployed, above all, as a vice squad to enforce religious law in Iran, and their elite "special units" have been used as shock troops against anti-government forces. In both 1999 and 2003, for instance, the Basiji were used to suppress student unrest. And, last year, they formed the potent core of the political base that propelled Mahmoud Ahmadinejad--a man who reportedly served as a Basij instructor during the Iran-Iraq War--to the presidency." - jennyvan, on 04/22/2009, -1/+4So much for children being the future and all that.
- inactive, on 04/22/2009, -3/+6"It's not anything we've done."
Oh nooooo, we're *completely* blameless.
/s - OdinThor, on 04/22/2009, -1/+4Reading a dictionary
- tonsiljuggler, on 04/22/2009, -2/+4Good thing the US army shoots women AND children. Just in case.
Buried. - Gmadd, on 04/22/2009, -0/+2I came here to post the exact same phrase... Not too suprised someone beat me to it. GG
- banderwocky, on 04/22/2009, -0/+2Forcibly abort the fetus is what you're suggesting?
- goatworship, on 04/22/2009, -0/+2oh snap
- ZZeke, on 04/22/2009, -2/+4Translation: You get off on death and destruction, you think war is cool, and you probably still think Iraq had something to do with 911. Congratulations, now go suck Dick Cheney's *****, he's waiting for you...
Disagreeing with your government and "hating America" are not the same thing. Of course, being a soulless egotistical *****, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
I love this country, but I hate what the government has done to it, and all the ignorant ***** like you who go along with it. - mithrasinvictus, on 04/22/2009, -1/+3@locdogg obviously
- DrVic, on 04/22/2009, -0/+2on the can.
- andyb747, on 04/22/2009, -2/+4We - don't - need - no - education....

- alfredscakes, on 04/22/2009, -2/+4There's an old Jesuit saying "Give me the child when he is 7 and I'll show you the.............." nope I got the wrong ending!
- ZZeke, on 04/22/2009, -1/+3...sure you do.
- itstodd, on 04/22/2009, -2/+3Until the world realizes that the enemy is Islam and not their factions, this isn’t going to ever stop.
- jgubbe, on 04/23/2009, -0/+1Nailed it!
- banderwocky, on 04/23/2009, -0/+1At least you're consistently failing in making your point... How amusing and hypocritical is it that you do not want to interfere in foreign policy about abuse of children...but you DO want to destroy any non-white culture and enslave them because you live in a constant state of fear?
Amusing indeed. - Kelto1, on 04/22/2009, -0/+1Forgot the s/
I hope... - inactive, on 04/23/2009, -0/+1Buried because of inaccurate title. Title should be "Iraqi children trained by Mossad to be suicide bombers"
