Shock video: Children in Syria play ‘Behead the Enemy’

What an incredibly sad way of life it is for children growing up in war-torn Syria whose experience with Islam shows it’s anything but a religion of peace.

A disturbing new video making its way around the internet shows children in the Syrian town of Ras al-Ayn playing a game that simulates an enemy beheading while chanting, “Allahu Akbar.”

Although it is unknown who shot the video, “Eretz Zen – A secular Syrian opposed to having my country turned into a Taliban-like state” – published the video on social media sites like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.

The description of the video via YouTube is as follows:

The macabre culture of beheadings and body mutilations that the Syrian “revolution” has brought with it has rubbed off on little children, who seem to be simulating ‘rebel’ beheadings of their enemies while shouting Allahu Akbar (Allah is greater). This footage was taken recently in the town of Ras al-Ayn in Syria’s northeastern al-Hasakeh province.

Does this mean that if a Syrian child creatively eats a pop tart into a gun shape or points his finger at another kid, he won’t be expelled from school for a year?

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Exactly, what is shocking about children doing their homework?

Occasions for stumbling are bound to come, but woe to anyone by whom they come! It would be better for you if a millstone were hung around your neck and you were thrown into the sea than for you to cause one of these little ones to stumble.

Luke 17:1-2

How is this much different than when I was kid playing war where we pretended to shoot and kill Germans or Japanese?

It is the culture theses kids grow up in. One can hope they grow out of it and their conception of a hero changes

Pearl Harbor . . . and the sinking of American merchant shipping within eyeshot off our east coast shore, are reasons that immediately come to mind. More importantly, we weren’t raised from the cradle to hate Germans or Japanese simply because they existed.
