Revolutionary, Anti-West Indoctrination Of Children By Municipality Of Mashhad, Iran

Between June 27 and July 6, 2015, the municipality of Mashhad, in northeastern Iran, conducted a special initiative for indoctrinating children with anti-West messages. The initiative, "The City Of Resistance Games," which was promoted by the regime, was held at the 10th International Koran and Family Expo. It included booths operated by clerics offering activities for children and teens on topics such as the resistance, knowing Iran's enemies (especially the U.S. and Britain), Iran's nuclear aspirations, dealing with the sanctions, support for Yemen and Palestine, Iran's war against the Islamic State (ISIS), and more.

During the activities, the young participants dressed in combat gear, crossed mock minefields and obstacle courses, and carried out other activities. They were asked to express their disgust with the American and British governments, and threw figures of President Obama into a pool of water to protest American crimes. It was explained to the children that the sanctions against Iran were a plot to vanquish it and deprive it of nuclear technology. In addition to the activities for children and teens at the City of Resistance Games, Mashhad also held workshops for parents, under the direction of cleric Saeed Akhoundi. He said on July 8, 2015 that some 4,000 children and teens had visited the booths, and called for making the expo permanent.

Of course we have all seen the abuse of children before by Iran. All saw through the Iran/Iraq war the extensive use of children to clear minefields and human waves of attacks on enemy positions.  This is what is one of the most disturbing and fundamentally things wrong found within Islam, Martyrdom. A belief system that indoctrinates its followers that there own human life is completely meaningless. That glorifies to die through martyrdom as an automatic path into their make belief Heaven. As it absolves the martyr of any sins, transgressions etc they have committed in their very short lives.

I mean think about this for a minute, where their parents willingly send their children to their deaths as cannon fodder to clear minefields. Imagine the effect it had on the opposing Iraq forces to confront such an ethical and moral nightmare forced upon them. Faced with little to no option, but to kill children sent against them in wave after wave of attacks. Its kill or be killed. Where is the care here for the sanctity of life? A belief system of Martyrdom, does not allow for the sanctity of life

Yeah. We used to have nuclear bomb drills as frequently as fire drills in school. Ads on TV where the nearest shelter was. And in social studies we studied about the mizzerable red, commie slime coming to get us.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

Have to say, for once I agee with you Quill. I remember nuclear drills at school and the really stupid film that was put out showing you how to 'save yourself'. DOH! And of course it was 'the commies are going to get you, be afraid'.
