West not prepared for impact of radical Islam Wednesday, May 23, 2007 12:22 AM CDT While our children are taught tolerance, multiculturalism and diversity, children in the Arab world are taught something very different. The Internet site Palestinian Media Watch monitors children's programs etc. broadcast to the entire Arab world on Al-Aqsa TV, the official Hamas TV station in Gaza. These programs brazenly encourage Muslim children to become shahids, that is, people who are willing to die for Allah. Paradise is promised for all those who give themselves to shahada and are martyred in jihad against Israel and the West. A quick perusal of this propaganda will convince you that we are facing a protracted life-and-death struggle against radical Islam as future Arab generations are primed to become suicide bombers. We in the West are ill-prepared for what is in store for us because of this. While millions of Muslim children are being prepared to fight us to the death, we are telling our children that Islam is just another religion we need to tolerate. There is a total disconnect between what we teach our kids and the real threat of a radical Islam bent not only on eliminating Israel but also on dominating the West. One of the programs you can see on Palestinian Media Watch uses a Mickey Mouse lookalike who interacts with Saraa', a young Muslim girl. They talk about the coming world domination of Islam and the role Islamic children will play as they are willing to become shahids. Hatred of Israel and the West is encouraged - especially hatred of the United States - and killing in the name of Allah is glorified. We tasted some bitter fruit of this poisonous training when radical Muslims attacked our shores on 9/11. Sadly, we can expect much more of the same since new Muslim generations are receiving a steady diet of the same poison. Theodore H.
