Two wrongs do not make a right. Tell me honestly, did the prophet ever allow small children to pick up weapons and fight wars with him? The prophet and his folowers were not put through any less of a torture than the Palestinians. The moment you start taking the fight personally you loose your moral high ground of fighting for the sake of what is right. It no more remains a Jehad for the sake of Allah.
One can argue that the children are not really using real guns and this could just be a way of symbolising how steadfast even a muslim child is on his relgion... I just think it is not right.

.. clearly Islam has shown us all facets of life..including how to fight and war.. still we ave muslims among us who love to transgress and seem happy when when innocent non-muslims are killed.. i am ashamed of those so-called muslims.. there is no difference between brutalities done by muslims and non-muslims..
Everybody uses them in one way or the other. I am sure even the ones below are not really aware of whose cause they are supporting by waving the Pakistani flag in their little hands.
If thats what you are going to teach 5 year olds and push them to the front line, sad as it is, some of them will be grabbed by the neck and pee in pants.

This is a kid born and raised in a refugee camp, surrounded by israeli tanks. For him, the 'frontline' starts right when he sets foot outside the tent that he lives in. Are you suggesting Palestinians stop leaving their homes? Most of the casualties in Palestine are in Palestinian territories....in their homes.
And regarding the pictures above, when the powerhouse governments around the world target civilians randomly, they also target children. The criminal warfare against the palestinians, the economic and military warfare against Iraqis, and now the military warfare in addition to the ongoing economic warfare, all of which targets the civilians of these countries, which include these very children. These children cannot get out of harms way even if they tried. And well, when they are being systematically targeted like this, its not out of the ordinary to see them ready to shoot their aggressors.
I wonder how many of these kids are "encouraged" and how many wanna be "just like my daddy"?
Much footage is shot simply for propoganda. It becomes our duty, as an audience, to root out the truth instead of taking everything we read and see for face value.
What is wrong with Picture ?
Please ! What happens when you throw rock in water, chances are you might be splashed. What I see here is living example of brain donors, a quite a few them.
