This is crazy. I honestly am surprised ever...WOW!!! This is crazy. I honestly am surprised every time I hear of a group recruiting young and impressionable kids to an Islamist or terrorist organization. I imagine the process: the recruitment group goes into these parents homes and gives their presentation on them wanting to over throw the present government giving all kinds of pamphlets out saying that this is the right thing to do. Then after the presentation say that their child would convert to Islam making this whole soldier life right because they would be fighting for Allah and not just an ambiguous cause. Then the children, after the parents sign their lives away, gets trained to use a gun and kill people, to fear no one and then tell them, if you die, it is for Allah and he will reward you. I am so confused how someone can be rewarded for possibly taking innocent peoples lives while trying to get to the regime that they actually have a problem with. Child soldiers are a big problem especially in underdeveloped nations, and that is just a shame. This really has to be stopped. Somalia has been facing many issues but at the same time, recruiting child soldiers for the rebel army is not ok. Why don't they aim for the adult men. It makes more sense to me.
