The 'university of holy war'

So scary. I wonder if many of these kids have even meet an American. I wonder if they've ever met a Muslim American.

Among them was 15-year-old Afghan refugee, Javed Ullah.
"I wish to fight the infidels," he said as he left the seminary in Akora Khattak, 50 kilometres (31 miles) east of the provincial capital, Peshawar.
Javed is among 600 students who have completed studies in different fields over the past year.

Very Scary....

Just illustrates the problems in that region about ignorance....

Nothing like teaching people to think for themselves...

One of the smartest Muslim militants I can recall was this girl in her late teens or early twenties in Palestine who was recruited to be a suicide bomber. She was attracted to the idea of being a martyr for her faith. She went through all the training, and just before she was to blow herself up, her handlers gave her instructions on what to do: in order to get to heaven, she'd have to dress in western clothes in the style of the Israeli girls (which is extremely provocative by their standards.)

It got her to thinking that she was being asked, nay, demanded to violate the Koran and everything she'd been taught about Muslim virtue to carry out this deed. She was going to die in violation of her faith to uphold it. And she began wondering: if her handlers are so quick to disregard the Koran's teachings on morality, what else are they ignoring, and what are their motives?

At the designated time and place, she got on the bus. But she got off the bus about halfway to her destination and went to an uncle's instead. She turned herself in to Israeli authorities and has gone on record as saying that these bombings aren't the solution: if Palestine wants freedom, then young Palestinians must marry and have children to continue the struggle.

This from an uneducated Palestinian girl, who has to be the wisest terrorist I've ever heard of.
