Supporters of the Islamic State terrorist organization recently posted a tribute video on social media in honor of a 10-year-old who they claim is the youngest "martyr" to die during their campaign to conquer territories across Syria and Iraq.
The boy, who went by the name Abu Obadya al-Abassi, was nicknamed "Baghdadi's puppy," a reference to Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Al-Abassi left his native Saudi Arabia to join IS in Syria. He is believed to have been killed along with his father in an air attack waged by the United States.

that kid died fighting for something greater than himself. His ancestors, evil as they may be, are smiling on him. That is more than can be said for Western youth whose culture and values have been taken away from them.

If Jerusalem post is to be taken seriously, I'd say this is proof that when dealing with militant Muslims there are no civilians.
On the flip side, that kid died fighting for something greater than himself. His ancestors, evil as they may be, are smiling on him. That is more than can be said for Western youth whose culture and values have been taken away from them.

I wonder what his backstory was? "Brother goes off to fight for alqueda. Gets blown up. He decides to avenge his brothers death. Gets blown up....." Next his friend goes off to fight and gets blown up. Lot of people are either getting blown up or blowing something up these days.

I have European friends who went to fight for ISIS. I've been following the events unfold before the US media cottoned on what was happening. Yes, they kill. That's what militants do. No different from US military intervention - unless the US is now dropping "love bombs" which love the militants to death. ISIS fights for an apocalyptic fulfillment of a part of their Koran which mentions "the black flags of Khorasan". ISIS has a narrative and a purpose, and while theirs is evil, we Westerners should devise our own narrative and purpose - one that suits us and not the cabal controlling the US govt.
My point essentially is that Westerners should be more militant as a culture. Might makes right so the good should be mighty. Surely you could agree with this?
