An Iraqi agency working with Iraqi children suffering from pyschological effects of the war, recently reported that the Iraqi insurgents are using children in their fight against the coalition forces. The whole story can be found in an article at UPI . A member of the Iraqi government denied knowledge of children being used as suicide bombers.
If such use of children will be proved to be true in the future, it will hardly come as a surprise. The Palestinian teorrism organizations have recruited and used a number of children until now. Many of them have been intercepted at the checkpoints by the Israeli authorities before they managed to blow themselves up. What the terrorist organizations don't care for is the fact that the children's lives are in any case spoiled for ever afterwards.
The use of children is cynical and shows the complete lack of value the Muslim society puts on human life. It is also a criminal act and a grave human rights violation. It is also noteworthy that terrorist leaders never offer their own children to such acts...
What will come of the Palestinian and Iraqi children when from such a young age they are being recruited to die?

Can you really say the entire Muslim society doesn't care for children?
Muhammad
Dear Muhammad,
No, actually you can never say that "entire society" feels this or that or does this or that. But in the specific context of terrorism and children wherein the focus of my posting lies, unfortunately, we can say that the use of children is cynical and no large protests movements against it have emerged.
