Taliban Recruiting 6 Year Old Children

Taliban fighters forced him to wear a vest they said would spray out flowers when he touched a button. He said they told him that when he saw American soldiers, "throw your body at them."

A Taliban spokesman, Qari Yousef Ahmadi, denied the militant group uses child fighters, saying it has hundreds of adults ready for suicide missions.

"We don't need to use a child," Ahmadi told the AP by satellite phone. "It's against Islamic law, it's against humanitarian law. This is just propaganda against the Taliban."

He's right about one thing. It is against Islamic law. Do you know what that means? It means that Islamic folks are having nutjobs using their religion to justify attacks on American's and they are using children to accomplish it. The Taliban knows that adults, especially men, would raise suspicions, but children don't.

Tell me where any of this is justified? Any Muslims out there want to explain this away? Anyone want to tell me how it's "Allah's will" that children are involved in warfare? Come on out of the woodwork cowards and tell us all that tricking innocent children into killing themselves and others is an ok thing to do.

You simply can't. You'll be seen for the monsters that you really are if you do. Even Afghan tribal elders believe this boy's story, so don't bother giving me the crap of how it's propaganda. This is a sign of desperation. This is a sign that they are having problems with man power in attacks against Afghan and American forces. Otherwise we'd hear a lot more about their successful attacks wouldn't we?
