TED:Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy: Inside a school for suicide bombers http://www.ted.com/talks/sharmeen_obaid_chinoy_inside_a_school_for_suicide_bombers.html Sadly, there are some schools that teach children how to die. Now the Taliban runs their own schools, which tell their pupils how to become suicide bombers. Their trick of getting and brainwashing students are stated below. 1. The Taliban ask poor parents to exchange their children with resources. Then they promise the parents that they would provide food, clothing and shelter to their children. Later they transmit the children to remote and isolated area. 2.The children are forced to learn the Koran. At first, they can't understand it because it is written in Arabic. Hence the children ｇet to heavily rely on the Taliban teachers, who distort its meanings. Furthermore the children are absolutely prohibited doing what the teacher don't permit, like reading newspapers or listening to radio. If they break this rule, they are severely reprimanded. 3.The Taliban manipulate the children to hate this world they currently live. For that, they beat them up, feed they really frugal meals and rarely allow them to play games. 4.The old members of the Taliban tell the children how glorious martyrdom is. Moreover they keep on brainwashing saying that after immolation wonderful afterlife will be waiting for them. 5.During the education, the Taliban use videos that intentionally edited to make them believe that Western powers are cruel. They also tell the children that this wars are fair game. In this presentation, about 10 children appear. Some of them are ones who already died as suicide bombers. The others are waiting for the go sign of martyrdom from the God. Why can the Taliban exploit such little children? Why do such the children have to become the victims of wars? Honestly, I didn't want to know this fact.
