EDUCATE TODAY FOR TOMORROW’S WORLD

They wore black hoods and waved Kalashnikovs. They jumped walls and stormed houses. They pulled a man from a car and held a pistol to his neck. They learn to kidnap and kill. They question and execute hostages, plant bombs, and fire sniper rifles. They are small and skinny. Their pre-pubescent voices break as they screech their training mantra, “Fight them and God will torture them through your hands.”

They are the new generation of mujahedeen, holy warriors. They are fighters and leaders of tomorrow’s world. Except the ones who blew themselves up in suicide attacks.

(Thank you for this info, Ned Parker of the L.A. Times.)

Should we show these videos in our country’s classrooms now to prepare our youngsters, to educate them, for tomorrow’s world?
