| Children Role-play Suicide Attack |
| 2011-03-07 |
| [Tolo News] A video clip recently put up on the internet indicates a number of children under 12 role-playing a suicide kaboom in an unknown location. Clerics say misusing children in Islamic myrmidon attacks in particular suicide kabooms are totally against Islamic ethics. The footage, 84-second, shows some children role-playing a suicide kaboom, with one boy dressed in black being hugged and wished well by his friends before blowing himself up. "Our prophet has said that we should treat children with kindness. Anybody who refuses to be kind to kids, will be exempted of Allah's mercy," Sayed Salahuddin, a Mohammedan holy man, said. "There have been more than a hundred cases where children have been bombed and killed." The New York Times reported that the Taliban dismissed making the clip, but the video shows that the children are being dictated from behind the camera. |

| #4 Back in the '50s, we would play 'suicide pilots' and crash into each other in imitation aerial combat on playgrounds. The game lost its charm after a few split lips & knobby skulls. |
