At TED, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy talks about how the Taliban turn Pakistani children into bombs ready for detonation. Half of the video consists of excerpts from a documentary, The Taliban Generation, which aired last year as part of (British) Channel 4's venerable Dispatches series. In the other section, Obaid-Chinoy gives a five-step breakdown on how to make a suicide bomber. PBOM's summary below.
Step 1: Get a child. Go to large, rural, families, offer an Islamic education with food and shelter. Give the father a stipend if necessary. Then take the son to a medrassah hundreds of miles away. The father will be too poor to get him back, and the child will be too far away to run home.
Step 2: Put on the blinders. The child’s only source of information from here on will be the holy Quran. Fortunately, the Quran is in Arabic, and these kids don’t know Arabic, so you can control the entire message for them. Beat the kid if he tries to read anything else.
Step 3: Make the kid hate his life. Beat him. Only feed him twice a day with a meal of bread and water. No playing games, just 8 hours straight of reading and reciting the Quran.
Step 4: Make the kid love the afterlife. Have older members of the Taliban, the fighters, come by and make an impression. Teach the kid about the glories of martyrdom, the lakes of milk and honey, the boundless virgins, how he will become a hero in his neighborhood. Maybe teach him to use an AK-47.
Step 5: Show Islam under the siege of the infidels. Bombard the child with endless videos of men, women, and children dying in Iraq, Afghanistan, and around the Muslim world. The kid is now ready to "serve Islam"—that is, to blow himself and probably other innocent Pakistanis into pieces, in order to advance the Taliban's terror agenda.
