My entire point was that we have a culture in the middle east that is turning mere children into weapons of war. Training them from a very young age to aspire to be Jihadists and find glory in dying for Allah.

I keep remembering a story that ran in the Chicago Tribune in late 2000 or early 2001, about a Palestinian-American woman who had moved with her family back to Ramallah during the Oslo years in hopes of building a business. One day, her eight-year-old son came home from school and announced, "Mom, when I grow up I want to be a shaheed (martyr)." She said, that's it, we're moving back to America.

I'm sure she is very glad now that she made that decision.
