Family Values

It is very hard for us to imagine the callousness of the terrorists when it comes to brainwashing people into blowing themselves and other up. Most people love their children. We do anything to help a child in distress. We call that kind of attitude Family Values.

Terrorists have different values for the family. We know from past news stories that many women caught in shameful situations are forced into killing themselves by the religious police. They are given a choice to either blow yourself and others to pieces or die in shame.

Now the radicals have come up with a new and more "glorious" campaign. They first "recruit" mothers to kill themselves. Afterward, they interview her children on video so they can brag about how proud they are that Mommy decided to be a martyr. Read this and weep.

The Middle East Media Research Institute has video and a transcript of a Hamas TV interview with two adorable tykes whose mother, Rim Al-Riyashi, was a suicide bomber. Here's an excerpt:

Interviewer: Dhoha, you love mama, right? Where did mama go?
Dhoha: To Paradise.
Interviewer: What did mama do?
Dhoha: She committed martyrdom.
Interviewer: She killed Jews, right? How many did she kill, Muhammad?
Muhammad: Huh?
Interviewer: How many Jews did mama kill?
Muhammad: This many . . .
Interviewer: How many is that?
Muhammad: Five. . . .
Interviewer: One should talk about the innocence of children . . .
Dhoha: I want to talk about kindergarten, I want to talk.
Interviewer: What would you like to recite for us? Have you heard the poem "Mama Rim"? Go on then, recite it for us.
Dhoha: "Rim, you are a fire bomb."
Interviewer: Go on, recite it.
Dhoha: "Your children and sub machine gun are your motto."
Interviewer: Muhammad, go ahead and recite . . .
Muhammad: I'm in kindergarten.
Dhoha: That's it, I'm done.
Interviewer: OK, do you want to go to mama?
Dhoha: Yes.

While our kids are reciting their ABC's and singing Old MacDonald children in Palestine are learning to recite poems about their Mother dying in the fires of suicide bombs. This is so hard to believe that we may just ignore it. But we deny it to our nation's and our cultural destruction.

I worry about the future of my grandchildren and your grandchildren. Do the politicians who want to isolate themselves from evil around the world worry about the future? Do they worry about this kind of brainwashing? Do they have the courage to resist these evil doers?
