An ancient jihadist tactic that seeks to reduce the number of non-Muslims while increasing its own lately received light media coverage. In the region, the report states that an ISIS-affiliated armed party is recruiting kids as young as 13 to participate in military attacks against Mozambican officials and people.

Not only is ISIS no “recruiting” kids, but the small report fails to clarify the occurrence and mechanics of this trend.
Thankfully, older accounts, which are closer to the time when ISIS was at its height in Syria and Iraq, provided more information about the details of this method of enslaving and indoctrinating children into becoming terrorists. These methods however have a lot of use. Older information understand what is still happening, though covert and consequently completely ignored by Western advertising because the jihadists are not in a position to talk about it like they were when the media took any attention, unlike today.  ,
For example, one 2016 record told of how a little boy had blown himself up in a murder assault that left at least 51 people—mostly other children—dead in Turkey.
This baby was one of many nameless, faceless kids who had been seized, beaten, and taught in Islam. Known as the” cubs of the caliphate“, they were graduates from “schools ]established by ISIS] to prepare hundreds of children and teenagers to conduct suicide attacks”.  ,
ISIS once posted a picture of these” cubs” walking around an abandoned amusement park where they held victims tied to climbs, with the majority of them thought to be around ten years old. One child, apparently just four years old, shot five sessions into a tied-up prey while screaming” Allahu Akbar”! Before putting the weapon in his rear, another young boy cut the mouth of his victim next to a young train. ISIS posted another picture of four children — one Russian, one Uzbek, and two Iraqis— executing citizens.

One Christian priest  , explained ISIS’s technique:” They dislocate the people, they take the kitten children, and they put them in Islamic people”. That, they are indoctrinated in warfare and what is called in the West “terrorist activities”.
Kids who managed to escape ISIS claim they were regularly beaten and given “endless propaganda,” including that they were required to kill their non-Muslim parents. ” We were n’t allowed to cry but I would think about my mother, think about her worrying about me, and I’d try and cry quietly”, one little boy said.
Baby soldiers are most lately deployed against Mozambique, but the terrorism is not limited to ISIS and is particularly prevalent in Africa. By 2016 only, Boko Haram, the Islamic militancy group terrorizing Nigeria, had kidnapped, enslaved, beaten, and indoctrinated more than 10, 000 kids — some as young as 5 years of age, and some from Christian backgrounds — into becoming jihadists/terrorists.
A former prisoner who witnessed a killing on the day he was enslaved said,” It’s all right for you to remove and murder yet your families.” Different kids held down the target and explained,” This is what you have to do to get to heaven”.
In order to show the benefits of becoming warriors of Allah ( the deity that allows his slaves to enslave and rape “infidel” women ), girls were kept in a separate camp and regularly raped by captive boys. Rachel, a 12-year-old coated escaped child, reported how numerous boys from her town tied up and beheaded a kidnapped person. They cautioned the younger kids to refrain from “feeling about it.” ” If you go there]Boko Haram training camps], you can see 12-year-olds talking about burning down a village”, said another escaped girl, adding,” They have converted”.

A boy who had supervised infants and toddlers who had been abducted or otherwise abused in rape said,” The children, none older than 4, watched jihadist propaganda videos and practiced a game called” suicide bomber” where they ripped open sacks of sand strapped to their torsos,”
ISIS hopes to draw on European cries to prevent goals from fighting back by using children as a tool. During a jihadist attack on neighboring Cameroon, for instance, more than 100 screaming African boys suddenly appeared — outdoors, armed, or swinging only machetes — and ran toward a military system, which gunned them over.  , As Col. Didier Badjeck explained,” It’s better to kill a boy than have 1, 000 victims. It’s causing us problems with international organizations, but they’re not on the front lines. We are”.
Another older report from 2016 shared more personal accounts of abducted boys and girls, including how Boko Haram “have fun” with the latter by “learning to subdue a struggling victim during sexual assault.” One escaped 16-year-old girl said,” I was raped almost on a daily basis by different men. When they became fed-up with me, they asked the little boy, who has often watched them do it, to take over”.
ISIS, of course, is not the only entity to employ this practice, it is taking place all throughout the Muslim world. For example, 300 Christian children were abducted and forcibly converted to Islam in Bangladesh in 2012, reported AsiaNews. Muslim conmen “pocket the money” and” sell the children to Islamic schools elsewhere in the country,” where imams force them to abjure Christianity, after persuading impoverished Christian families to spend what little money they had to send their children to supposedly “mission hostels.” The children are then beaten and given Islam instruction. After being fully indoctrinated, the once-Christian children are asked if they are “ready to give their lives for Islam”, presumably by becoming suicide-bombers.

Why do Islamic jihad organizations use this tactic to train children to become jihadis? The majority of Western analysts believe that this is a sign of weakened, desperate groups:” ISIS’s growing trend to use child soldiers as suicide bombers, especially in Iraq, has been suggested as a sign of how limited their resources are in the area,” according to one report.
Or it could suggest that ISIS, Boko Haram, et al., are simply following another page from the jihadist playbook ( which Western “experts” do not even acknowledge exists ). For over a millennium, Muslim caliphates specialized in seizing and enslaving tens if not hundreds of thousands of young non-Muslim boys, converting them to Islam, and then beating, indoctrinating, and training them into becoming jihadists extraordinaire.
The Ottoman Empire’s janissaries were the most well-known of these: they were Christian boys who were seduced from their homes, converted, indoctrinated in Islam and jihad, and then released onto their former families. They became fanatical Muslims and steadfastly defended their faith as Islam warriors, according to the author of Balkan Wars. Perhaps the most inhumane legacy left behind by the Ottoman Empire’s cruel practice of what is now known as the “brain cleansing” of the Christian populations is…

If there were Islamic studies departments that actually published facts rather than pro-Islamic myths and propaganda, Western analysts would not be ignorant of this “new” jihadist tactic, optimistically claiming that the reliance on children would indicate that terror groups have” stretched their resources.”  , As with all unsavory aspects of Islamic history, the institution of child slave soldiers has been thoroughly whitewashed. The academic narrative states that poor Christian families were pleased to see their children taken to the caliphate where they would have a “bright future” as” soldiers and statesmen,” even though young, terrified boys were freed from the clutches of their depressed parents.
The modern West’s inability to comprehend Islam’s medieval strategies comes down to countless nameless children as well as ignorance regarding the enemy’s nature. As Mausi Segun, a human rights activist discussing the plight of Boko Haram’s child jihadists, put it,” There’s almost an entire generation of boys missing. My guess is that a large majority of them will die]as forced jihadis ] in the conflict” . ,
And they will pass away completely unknowable in the West, making them just another victim of political correctness sacrificed in order to prevent Islam’s reputation from being ruined.
