Hamas TV Shows 4-Year-Old Girl Vowing Suicide Bombing
2007-03-22
As Charles Johnson would say, it's just more Paleo child abuse.
Hamas television broadcast a video dramatization on Wednesday in which the four-year-old daughter of female suicide bomber vows to do what her mother has done. The child is an actress, but the point was clear.

According to Palestinian Media Watch, the child actress, playing the part of a real child named Duha, finds her mother preparing explosives in her bedroom and sings, "Mommy, what are you carrying in your arms instead of me?"

The mother tries to hide the bomb. Later, Duha sees a television news story about her mother's suicide bomb attack. "Instead of me, you carried a bomb in your hand," Duha sings. "Only now, I know what was more precious than us."

Duha asks her mother to tell the Muslim prophet Mohammed that she sends her love -- and that she will be following in Mommy's footsteps. The last image shows Duha finding explosives in her mother's bedroom drawer.

The video is based on real people. Duha's mother was Reem Riyashi, who, at the age of 21, blew herself up at the Erez crossing, killing four Israelis. Hamas and the Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades of the Fatah faction claimed responsibility for the 2004 attack.

Palestinian Media Watch Director Itamar Marcus told Cybercast News Service that there have been other programs where young teens express their desire to become martyrs, but he has never seen a child as young as the actress playing Duha serve as an advocate for suicide bombing. "This is Hamas' ideology," said Marcus. Reem Riyashi was said to be the first female suicide bomber employed by Hamas.

After she killed herself and others, Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, the spiritual leader of Hamas, praised her for setting an example for other women to die in the fight against Israel.

#6  I would limit aid to the Paleos to this: 1 fart with a lump in it.

#5  I suppose the best psychological profile to advance is: The cock on the dunghill.

Hamas crows about their fighters' dedication and the intensity of their indoctrination, all the while ignoring the shitheap of a society that they pile up around them. Just like Beslan, just like those two poor children strapped into that Iraqi car bomb and just like this young child barely past infancy crooning about cutting her brief life short with murderous self-extinction: All of these travesties will be entered into the ledger by those who shall bring Islam to a final accounting.

Islam already has a terrible price to pay for their centuries of interminable slaughter and perfidy. Such shameless introduction of innocent children into their barbaric cadres only compounds the interest due when their time of reckoning arrives. The consequences that await Islam are not very pretty, nor should they be.

#3  Selfish, self-agrandizing idiots. How dare that woman leave her child to a lifetime of anguish and maladjustment--PTSD, attachment disorders, possible psychoses of various sorts, and also without the protection (as weak as it might be) of a mother against the Moslem slime infecting those lands. SHAME ON HER. And it is beyond reprehensible that Hamas TV is exploiting families like this. Interesting that the Moslems NEVER look to their own societies and social/religious structures as having anything at all to do with the problem. The inability to affix blame where blame belongs speaks of the inability of the majority of Moslem males and females to deal effectively with the hideous sexual abuse rampant in their socieities.

#1  I wonder what Duha would think if she knew her mother was now a gangbang sextoy in Paradise for a bunch of dead, smelly Taliban?
She may be a martyr, but she's still a woman...
