Teaching our children to hate....
I have tried really hard not to add yet another voice against Islam. It is not the those voices are wrong, necessarily, it's just that there are so many of those voices, that my one small voice would just add to the cacophany. However, after seeing this story, combined with the non-stop coverage out of Paris - where Muslim youth are rioting against the government, I really have to wonder what they are teaching their children.
The story talks about a childrens program that glorifies homicide bombing. The cartoon was shown in Iranian National Television recently. It appears to be part of the campaign that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has launched - a campaign calling for the complete destruction of Isreal. It tells the story of two young boys, Abd and Karim, who are taught by an older neighbor how to rig themselves up with explosives in order to "Go and show the Zionists how brave and heroic are the children of Palestine."
As the mother of a son, it breaks my heart to see this. I can not help but put myself in the shoes of a mother over there. Would I really rejoice if my son blew himself up in order to kill others? No. But there are those who do. I guess this really does go to show how different our cultures are. Where we teach our children to respect others and to look out for others, another parent is teaching his child how to hate those who are "different" (not Islamist).
How does all of this tie into the riots in Paris? Again, these young people, most of whom have lived their entire lives in France, were taught to hate their home country. They were taught this by their parents and by their Imams. Which leads me to this question? If you hate the country so much, why did you move there? Now I know that there are those who will say that they moved there in order to "Islamicize" the country. While I don't know if that is indeed the case (for I do not know what is in their hearts) I have to conclude that this may be the case, just by looking at their actions.....
Look what happens when we teach our children to hate.
