Hey, that's just great. Real hope for the future there.
Palestinian Media Watch: Hamas kids' TV program: "We all wish for Shahada"
A Hamas TV program for children is once again promoting Shahada - Martyrdom for Allah - as a positive goal for kids.
In the most recent episode of the show Tomorrow's Pioneers, the child host asks a 10-year-old girl who phones into the program whether she had been afraid of dying during the 2009 Gaza War.
"No, I wasn't afraid," the little girl says. "I wished for Shahada (Martyrdom) - Shahada for Allah."
The host is effusive in her praise that "even this little girl" dreams of Shahada, and adds, "We all wish for this."
The exchange is more than just another example of Hamas's continued promotion of Shahada for children. The young caller's response also proves the success of years of propaganda by Hamas and the Palestinian Authority (Fatah) to indoctrinate children to aspire to Martyrdom for Allah, and to believe that seeking death is a greater value than seeking life.

We were way ahead of the Canadians on that score, until the ascendancy of The One.
The Hamas' promotion of Shahada among children could very well be the reason why there are young suicide bombers such as Abdulmuttalab which tried to blow up a US airplane. It will not be a surprise that more young Islam followers will be willing to give up their lives for such cause. It is just a pity that little children are led to the wrong path.
