2. Practice
Roman ,   IL   (09.21.11)
How about giving away loaded shahid (suicidal) belt for training purposes? In fact, on-site demos would help too.
3. guns for Koran recital winner
Victor O. Teves ,   Iligan City, PHL   (09.21.11)

6. UN seems curiously absent here
William ,   Israel   (09.21.11)
I thought the UN had a whole organization created to protect children - apparently not when in the context of Islamists.
7. Congratulations...
Jill ,   Brooklyn US   (09.21.11)
You have just won the , what are you gonna do next? (winner): "I'm going to Jihad-land!" (eyes shining, proud parents smiling in background)....
8. THAT"S SICK!
Nudnik   (09.21.11)
OK, I want the best muslim apologists here right now to euphemise this? I need to feel comfortable that this religion isnt a threat or something... (its a bit cult-like, dont you think?)
9. SIMPLY SICK AND REPUGNANT
Galutia ,   SELAH   (09.21.11)
even worse the liberals of this world put a low priority on doing anything about this kind of heinious practice....
10. It sure beats getting a couple of video
jason white ,   afula, israel   (09.21.11)
games or a soccer ball. Do they get to use the rifle or bombs on the kids that lost?
11. And where are the NGOs? Silent, as usual
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (09.21.11)
Recruiting children to be soldiers is against international law and a war crime. However, we all know that Human Rights Watch, Physicians Without Borders and their colleagues in other organizations will do just about nothing about this. Why? Because you can't throw a fund-raising cocktail party for donors to your NGO. Nobody will come. The Saudi millionaires aren't interested. The Ford Foundation and Jimmy Carter Foundation supporters simply toss the invite in the trash. Why? Because little Muslim kids aren't popular and faddish Palestinians, and Islamic bad guys are still ok compared to us evil Zionists, no matter how many tens of thousands of innocent Somalis and Sudanese they murder, rape, and force into starvation.
12. somali kids reward packages will comes to palestinians soon!
mary of Bethany ,   singapore   (09.21.11)

13. weapons in Koran contest
Niss ,   uk   (09.21.11)
and this is the PEACEFUL religion which they say they are one can only imagine what they teach them from young age
14. ANYONE SUPRISED??????
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (09.21.11)
The younger the better for the "religion of peace", as so many have pointed out. Even though it doesn't get much play in the MSM, the Pals have all kinds of kid camps where they handle weapons and practice guerrilla tactics, heck almost any 12 year old, at least many of these kids can breakdown and put together a weapon blindfolded.
15. Have they no shame?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.21.11)
Or decency? Or morals? Sorry; forgive me. In view of the fact that the religion in question is Islam, I guess those were all silly questions.
16. Wonder where Nour and Salma went ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.21.11)
Or "eporue." Or "Mahmood." Or "split." Or "Palestinian." Or any of the other apologists for that wonderful "religion of peace" that is the primitive and horrific cult known as "Islam." Come out, come out, wherever you are and defend the acts of the Somalis ..... Fat chance.
17. #16 they are out plotting together how to take over the worl
rachel ,   usa   (09.21.11)
world !!!
18. To: Rachel at No. 17
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.22.11)
Where I come from, we would call that a Chinese fire drill. LOL!
19. to 16
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (09.22.11)
You have just named the whole "Palestinian"brotherhood.
20. to 16
Salma, ,   cairns-Australia   (09.22.11)
What the Somalis do has nothing to do with me.I certainly do not endorse children having guns.That is not "Islam". Your tongue is getting sharper with age. Where I come from we call it demise.
21. Notable religious differences
James ,   Raleigh US   (09.22.11)
A Christian child quotes Paul and gets a bible, a Jewish child quote Moses and gets a Torah. A Muslim child quotes Mohammed and gets a rifle and a bomb. Which one is the religion of peace again?
22. Islam-Religion of Peace
Koose E Mack ,   NY NY   (09.23.11)
Nuff Said!
23. find the difference between settlers and shabab
Dani ,   haifa   (09.23.11)
