Pakistan Train Child Terrorists for Jihad

The activities seen here may look like an ordinary martial arts class for young boys. But in this religious school in Pakistan, the boys chant the Quran before doing their exercises, and the teachers are pro-Taliban militants.

In a worrying new development, children, some younger than 10 years old, are being trained as militants. They carry assault rifles, nearly as big as they are, and wear black headbands bearing Islamic slogans. This video appears to have been filmed at a madrassa - a religious school where many young students live because their parents can't afford to raise them. So madrassas have been accused of promoting extremism.

The growth of child militancy in Pakistan was top of the agenda at a conference held in Islamabad. Child protection experts said poverty, the lack of education, and the growth of extremist teachings are to blame for fostering the growing wave of child militancy.

The situation is particularly severe in the tribal areas that border Afghanistan. Reports persist in Pakistan that children are being brainwashed into believing they are becoming holy warriors.

"Any use or exploitation of a child is unacceptable, and the time has come, since we can now feel and see the incidence of child militancy in Pakistan that we have to, and one hopes that we can do it through (??). We need to have a strong movement which says 'no' to child militancy."

Accused of apathy on the issue, virtually all Pakistan's political parties are making education the key issue of their campaigning ahead of next month's parliamentary elections.

Islam...religion of peace...

Quran tells Muslims to kill the disbelievers wherever they find them (2:191), murder them and treat them harshly (9:123), slay them (9:5), fight with them (8:65 ), strive against them with great endeavor (25:52), be stern with them because they belong to hell (66:9) and strike off their heads; then after making a "wide slaughter among them, carefully tie up the remaining captives" for ransom (47:4).

This is horrible , they will grow up totally brain washed thinking whoever is not Muslim should be dead. I hope one day religion goes back from where ever it came from.

[RussMaxable]

@lnfidell your a fucking dick head, what are you going to fight, how fucking dumb, these kids are brain washed have some compassion. because it's the only way to save us all.

[RussMaxable]

@jalataranga yeah but understand it's not there fault, why are people so closed minded, you could be in their shoes and be brain washed to, how do you fix it, with education of different culture's. you can't do it by force.It will never work, only way to get rid of it is to understand and set good example's by being understanding and given them ways of finding out about the world like the internet, if it is like a cult, the way your acting is just as bad.America is one big cult too.

[RussMaxable]

I have to say the fact that people can't understand that these children are brain washed and it's not their fault and this comment above has seven's up rating's really make's me think American's are quite dumb.It's both side's. you kill million's and are brain washed and they are too, that is why America is losing all it's respect and the radical islam idea's will die out because nobody will live on this planet if this goes on and people are smart enough to see that it does not have to be.
