Germany sentences Palestinian for dressing children as suicide bombers
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BERLIN - A German court on Monday sentenced a Palestinian man to five months' probation for fitting his three children with mock explosives belts in an allusion to suicide bombers at a demonstration in Berlin earlier this ear.

The 33-year-old, identified only as Mohammed ell., was convicted by a district court of condoning criminal acts, and also was sentenced to do 300 hours' community work.

Justice officials in Berlin opened an investigation after photos published in German newspapers showed ell.s' youngest child, a six-year-old girl, perched on her father's shoulder with a cardboard mock-up of an explosives belt around her waist at a pro-Palestinian demonstration April 13. His other children, aged 10 and 12, wore similar belts.

Interior Minister Otto School, the German government's top law enforcement official, at the time called it an "outrageous" abuse of a child as an "advertisement for terrorist acts."

The accused, an asylum-seeker who has lived in Germany for two years, told the court his intention had not been to condone suicide attacks but to draw attention to the need for a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

"The misery in the occupied territories is too great," he said, adding he would never allow his children to become suicide bombers.

This was child abuse by a Palestinian Islamakazi from the very shallow end of his gene pool. He did exactly what the Palestinian Islamakazis from the shallow end of their gene pool do as their regular psychotic behavior.

How disturbing is this picture...

A little girl riding on her Father's shoulders with fake C-4 around her little body, while flashing the "peace" sign?

On the other hand Arafat is in the background and he won the "peace" prize not long ago.....

Now, they would have a picture of Jimmy Carter to go with the other terrorist, Arafat, to show the two Piece Prize Winners!

Why did he need asylum in Germany?

Surely ther are lots of places in the Islamic world that would welcome him.

"V for victory". Could also be an obscene gesture in some cultures. Horrifying in any case.

Sick people, no honor, they make war, yet they want their children to end the very wars they start. SICK SICK BASTARDS. This is the type of pedophiliac type behavior that needs to be stopped. These people need to be shot on sight. War makers, soldiers and child killers, evil wicked manipulative pieces of sh!t.
