Actually, the Koran forbids using children and youth in battle. I am not sure what is the age limit, but if memory serves it is 13, the age at which both Islam and Judaism consider a youngster to be "responsible". Zeev

ajs, As I said, I do not agree with the ideology, just that I understand that is their way, and I as an outsider am not willing to condemn completely what I do not fully comprehend. As far as brainwashing goes, the U.S. through manipulation of the "free" (hah) press and other means is not at all free of "brainwashing". It has always amazed me how ignorant our citizens are of our meddling and interfering ways of the affairs of other sovereign nations for our own greedy purposes. Have you ever wondered why so many people from so many countries of the world hate our guts? If this is news to you, wake up...it's real. They hate us not because we are so benevolent and trustworthy. What America does in the name of "democracy" is a crime against humanity. Look at what we do and have done in Latin America under the guise of the "drug war". And this while the CIA has rightfully earned the contemptible appellation "cocaine import agency". It's all a rather mean and nasty joke on us all.... Our country would be better served cleaning our own house. Billions spent on waging a lost war while homelessness, lack of credible education, on and on, exists in our own back yard is ludicrous. Of course, there is PROFIT in this war for somebody....follow the money... Regards, Eichler
