I samuru-ed...but it came up empty.

Interesting video from Egypt...12-year old kid (obviously escaped indoctrination) on the streets...has more sanity in him than most grown ups...worldwide.

Kid talks about the social and economic crisis in Egypt. About Islamic influence and state sponsored injustice.

It is really that simple.

Truly inspiring.

The kid talks a lot of sense.
Looks like he is from a good family,who have encoraged him to search for knowledge rather than mindlessly absorb propaganda.
I hope he makes it through whatever happens in the next few months/years.
Egypt need more folks like this kid-and less extremists IMO.

Funny thing here is that most of the people in his part of the world would consider him to be the extremist. I hope he makes out. His rhetoric could very well get him killed.

Don't you mean 'people in our part of the world?' People such as the US or UK governments?

Such a good kid.

He gives me hope.


But it will still be a long uphill battle in that part of the world where his voice will drowned out by clerics issueing Fatwas. Of which even he may be a target.

Sadly...I feel he is one in a million
But we can hope perhaps...that his generation that is coming will be smarter than ours is. They are living our mistakes. That experience has to count for something....some day.

I think the internet has a lot to do with it-Imagine living under a strict islamic regime all your life,then you get the internet and find out how other people are living in other countries-what do you do?Either leave,or attempt to change your country probably.
Its a no brainer..especially for the younger generations IMO.

I remember when I was 12.
I don't remember a whole lot of it though because I was too busy being a kid; eating cookies and not having a care in the world about 'world events' that affected only people 'whose hands I'd never get to shake'...when I finally grow up.

This little boy is in the thick of it and I wouldn't be surprised if he would prefer a handshake over a cookie...forced into adulthood.

I would totally pick him to play on my baseball team.

It is my fondest wish that my son grows to this level of understanding. Maybe our generations legacy could be teaching the next a better way. Its never to late to try IMHO.

I think the internet has shown us all that we truly are a community of earthlings as opposed to Americans, British, Arabs, etc etc. Its one thing to be told your whole life that these people are bad because of this that or the other and actually being able to converse freely with the before mentioned people and finding out that our leaders lied to us all the while. Keeping us away from each other. Dividing us over convoluted fairy tales about the boogeymen of another country. I don't think the powers that be saw this one coming. I real game changer the internet.
