Winds of War: Mothers Push Sons to Militant Islam

From The Gathering Storm

This is a recent news alert from CENCOM.

A marketing campaign aimed at mothers began this summer when radical military Islamists released a 21-minute video directing mothers to let their sons join militant movements, and instill the movement’s values in them at a young age. The video promotion is part of a campaign that is believed to have begun in January 2005, when several videos and articles aimed at Muslim women were posted on a number of websites associated with Islamic militancy and the Iraqi insurgency, according to Pentagon policy experts. The promotion called on women to take a more active role in instilling the values of militant Islam within their children.

According to CENCOM, the video preaches three messages to jihadi mothers.

• The first message provides emotional support to mothers who have lost a son to militant Islam saying: “You were patient with the loss of your son. You seek the acceptance of the Almighty God with the hope that you will meet him in heaven.”
• The second message chides mothers who stop their sons from joining the mujahideen and warns, “Fear God. Return your possession [your son] to the creator. Don’t deny God’s gift to you if you want for him goodness in the world and the hereafter.”
• The third and final message targets mothers who do not support their sons’ decision to join militant groups with finances and prayers saying, “The real happiness is [for those] whom God uses to serve [as] the servants of God, [those] whom God [has] selected among his creations, [whom] he loved and made them the best of his creation.”

Here’s the actual video pitch to the mothers urging them to promote values of radical militant Islamic movement: “Did you hear what God prepared for the family of the martyr?”

We are fighting religious fanatics not dissimilar to the Imperial soldiers of Japan who were encouraged from birth to gladly die for their Emperor.

The innumerable young men who volunteered to become suicide pilots were hailed as heroes who had died a "glorious death" for a "holy cause". While he was in elementary, the narrator was asked regularly by his teacher, "If the Emperor ordered you to die, would you die?" His answer was: "Yes, I would die, I would die happily!"
