The Faces of Killer Children
Looking at the pictures of the radical killers in Iraq it becomes immediately clear that the majority are but children. Killer children.
The short term solution to this problem is distasteful to all who reside in civilized society, but we are currently engaged in that task.
The long term solution lies only in changing the education of the children, replacing the evil teaching of the madrassas and replacing it with something which prepares the children to live in civilized society. Whether or not that is possible will be determined by the outcome of the short term solution.
The Middle East is not the only part of the world which has killer children. The phenomenon has begun to show its face in the United States. A society which kills its young devalues life. The sins of the fathers and mothers are visited upon the next generation. A free society cannot exist without morality.
We are in a cultural war with radical Islamists without.
We are in a cultural war with radical secularism within.
Both are religious wars.
