The latest horror plan: have children commit murders

Taliban publicly taking pride in having a child hurl a grenade. They love their kids: they just deem appropriate turning them into murderers
We had to learn from the press releases, in grief, that the Taliban are very proud that an eleven year old boy hurled the grenade that killed our compatriot Giuseppe De Rosa. The horror of employing children is combined with the awareness that De Rosa was there right to help that boy. Considering children sacred, we shudder at so much horror. On the other hand, for extremist Islamists, no matter if Sunni or Shia, pushing children to kill in the name of Allah is a decent aspiration. Beware: this not only displays cruelty, but some reasoning, too. Basically, children are loved, truly loved, as long as they are able to inflict damage to the enemy, as the enemy is pure evil. No, children firing weapons or blowing themselves up with explosive belts are not unloved nor neglected. The extremist Islamist society loving them proves how scary cultural diversity can be. This concept is a double edged sword, because it will be the Western invasion to be reported, afterward, as the cause of the death of Afghani or Palestinian children; also the death of the 1,500 Syrian children killed by war will be ascribed to some enemy, Zionist, American or whatsoever plot by those who pushed them toward their deaths or directly killed them. Giuseppe De Rosa was a friend of Afghani children, as clearly all average intelligent people would realize; nonetheless we are not going to explain to the Taliban the difference between an oppressor and a hand stretched out for a better future, enormously far from the aim of seizing their things. Let’s forget Talban rationality anyway.
Children involved in conflicts are estimated to be about 300thousand; many of these are found, but are not limited to, in Islamic areas. We have in mind a famous precedent: during the Iran-Iraq war from 1980 to 1988 Iranian children were provided with plastic keys that, they were told, were able to open the gates of paradise. So equipped they were sent marching on mining fields to clear the way to the iranian soldiers. They would follow at their turn, walking on their corpses. 90 thousand Iranian children died during the war, nd before that they lined up in score to get the honor to be part of the army of the martyrs of Allah.
The Taliban, despite the promise of Mullah Omar not to touch kids, set up training camps for children on the Pakistani-Afghani border. A wave of children suicide attacks erupted in 2011, in May a kid killed 4 people, two in the same period killed another 15 innocent people. The young assassins die of course most of the time. The same happened during the Intifada, 29 suicide attacks were carried out by boys under 18 from 2001 and 2003, on top of another 22 armed and with explosive devices attacks. In 2009 authentic cells of children recruited and trained by Al Qaeda were thwarted. And so on. They learn to place bombs, to shoot against the enemy very early; their training is multifaceted: it is religious, political, and family-based; it is supported by the authorities, by TVs, and by mosques (although not by all mosques). A Palestinian mother of shahids who blew themselves up issued the usual statement: “My message to all mothers is to sacrifice their own creature for Palestine. If I were young and could give birth again, I would generate the same children (martyrs)”.
A child is just a child: the ones who do not want to fight and die, are forced with fear and force to follow the orders, or else they get little money, they pose for heroic pictures and, like the adults, are promised a couple of virgins in paradise. Then off they go to kill us and die. I saw a child packed with explosives being searched at a checkpoint and a little girl carrying a bag packed with TNT. I was moved, I was glad they were safe. Our aspirations to good and reason are very far from being shared.
