Turk..you of all people who has seen the horrors of people from other countries trying to exercise FOS and getting killed for it...you of all people? I would think you would be a great supporter of FOS..I guess not.
As far as Muslim children getting brainwashed...I have no problem with that. It is none of my business and they are entitled to their FOS based on their culture and their country. FOS is what made this country great and liberals more than any other have a great problem with it. They even have a problem that Bush is letting Iraqi's run their country as they see fit...they say it all the time...same problems as always over there is what they say...like we should teach them what versions of FOS they should have and not have.
BTW...we have freedom of religion also...and it's the same crew in this forum who have a problem with that freedom also...I wonder why Turk?

Facts:
1. Mikey reports a piece of news, and nothing else.
2. FBN editorializes, questioning Mikey's motives in sharing this piece of news.
3. Turk points out to the obvious conflict in FBN's post, while pointing out to
the troublesome content of the news which is the upbringing of an
intolerant generation at war with any other way of life.
4. FBN accuses Turk and all other liberals of intolerance, since what is being
practiced at these camps falls under the umbrella of freedom of speech.
5. Neither Turk nor any other liberal has asked for the immediate closing down
of these schools / arrest of the instructors, etc.
What I had (and still do) found to be troublesome is the polarization of not only our great Nation, but the whole world, at this day and age, based upon religion of all things. The teaching of intolerance is against what Christianity, Islam, and Judaism all stand for and yet under the umbrella of freedom of speech, intolerance and training of future warriors against this very freedom of speech, that you are claiming to be protective of, is being conducted and anyone with a shred of decency and concern for the type of world we are going to leave our children should be concerned and troubled.
Mankind has already gone through these wars of religions, many many times as a matter of fact and what they have left us with, are scars so deep that even generations later, we cannot seem to put them behind us and go on.
So, yes, I do find news of trained Palestinian children at the age of 6 with bombs taped on their bodies, Iranian children of 10-12, dressed in Jihadist clothes going through arms training, Kurdish children of 10-12 on ecstasy so that they are high while blowing themselves up along with innocent people on crowded buses or hospitals, Israeli kids of 8-10 writing notes on bombs to dropped on their Arab counterparts, all to be troublesome. How do you think these children got to that point? It was not overnight, it was through meticulous religious training / brainwashing.
I strongly believe that these are not problems of "over there" but of the whole world, of all the human race, and American children being brainwashed into believing in a "war" is just part of this sick equation that has devastating consequences, if responsible, consciencous people are not "troubled" enough by it.
"...At one point in the film, Fischer shouts to the children, "This is war! Are you part of it or not?" She proudly compares her work to the indoctrination of young boys by extremist Muslims in Pakistan and elsewhere...."
Freedom of speech? I don't think so.
I would call it brainwashing.
