Palestinians in Shooting Spree U.S.-Trained

Posted By P. David Hornik On April 25, 2011 @ 9:18 am In Uncategorized | No Comments

Since 2007 the U.S. has invested (see http://pajamasmedia.com./blog/is-the-u-s-building-the-next-intifada/) hundreds of millions of dollars in training and equipment for Palestinian Authority security forces. Reports ^[2] of rampant torture in the prisons run by these forces, and warnings ^[3] by Israeli military and other figures of the danger posed to Israel, have gone unheeded.

Early Sunday morning the danger grimly materialized. At least one PA policeman opened fire on a group of Israeli worshipers in Nablus in the West Bank, killing one and wounding four, including one seriously....

Document: Interim Agreement - Josephs Tomb to have Israeli guards and free unimpeded access for Israelis

 

Dr. Aaron Lerner - IMRA   24 April 2011  http://www.imra.org.il/story.php3?id=52052

 

(...) Limor Livnat's nephew is being buried today because he wanted to pray at Joseph's Tomb and wasn't willing to wait to see when he would have the chance to be part of the select few chosen for the monthly visit.  That's not what was supposed to be under the agreement.

 A once a month visit for a select few is anything but "free, unimpeded and secure access".  But at the end of the day the agreement was just a piece of paper.

 Just like the next piece of paper....

 For the record here is the last one. (...)

URGENT ACTION ALERT - Say no to IDF Withdrawal from West Bank!

scroll down to unsubscribe

 

The Unity Coalition for Israel has organized this (other American Jewish organizations are doing nothing...). They need the public to cooperate, of course, so please pass this on.

 

 

 

CALL FOR ACTION!!!

Say no to IDF Withdrawal from West Bank

Please read this background and then sign and send the email below to PM Netanyahu, the Knesset members and United States leadership.

The Prime Minister is considering the option of withdrawing Israeli Defense Forces from the West Bank (Haaretz, April 11, 2011).  This would be a fatal step in the wrong direction.  The Christian and Jewish Zionist community must let him know that we stand with the Likud party - 78%  do not support diplomatic efforts toward Palestinian statehood.  The IDF must remain in the West Bank until the Palestinians – both Fatah and Hamas – reform their governments and communities and cease terrorist activities. Sign the letter below to send this pro-Israel letter to key decision makers.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SAMPLE LETTER TO PRIME MINISTER

Dear Prime Minister Netanyahu,

We understand that you are considering the option of withdrawing Israeli Defense Forces from the West Bank (Haaretz, April 11, 2011).  The Israeli leadership must learn to stop negotiating with itself.  The PA has learned that Israel consistently demonstrates that it caves in to the Western leaders.  As a result, the PA receives concessions for not negotiating.  There is no incentive for the Palestinians to negotiate.  

Unfortunately, our Western leaders keep pressuring Israel to make unilateral concessions.  We must remember the disastrous consequences following the withdrawal from the Sinai and Gaza (Gush Katif).  These withdrawals did not bring peace but increased terrorist and rocket attacks.

Instead, Israel needs to take the position that the PA has abrogated the OSLO accords with their constant incitement and refusal to negotiate. They have not amended their charter or acknowledged Israel as a Jewish state.  According to the PA, Israel does not even exist.  Therefore OSLO was never implemented and Israel should not be negotiating further concessions. Any discussion at this point should start from square one and the PA and Israel need to talk directly to each other.

There is much talk among United States Zionists that Israel should annex all of the the territory, just as should have been done in 1967.  It's now or never and it's a question of survival.  There are millions of supporters in the United States who are sympathetic to Israel's cause and will take a strong position on behalf of a secure Israel.  American Zionist public opinion is consistent with the opinion of many of the Likud members as expressed in the latest Ma'agar Mohot poll.  Seventy eight percent of the rank and file members of your own Likud party do not support diplomatic efforts toward Palestinian statehood.  We agree with the Knesset position and we look to you, Prime Minister, to take a strong stand on Israel's behalf.  You were elected to reinforce Israel's rights and make the case for those rights at an international level.  

We urge you not to make concessions.  Instead, we agree with Foreign Minister Lieberman that the elimination of Hamas should become a strategic goal before negotiations resume. We urge you to counter-act the plans of the Palestinians to unilaterally declare a Palestinian State through the United Nations, as this would be a death sentence for the State of Israel and its citizens.

Respectfully,

New Pressurizing Statement By ADL's Abe Foxman May Raise Eyebrows

scroll down to unsubscribe

 

Pressurizing statement by ADL Nat'l Director Abe Foxman Could Cause Trouble for Israel

 

 

Foxman's public pressure on Israel: ADL National Director Abraham Foxman publicly asserted, this week, that it would "help make the case for Israel" if the Netanyahu government decides to present a "diplomatic initiative". Mr. Foxman assured his interviewer that "ninety percent" of American Jews would want the prime minister to "take some kind of initiative". Israel has to enter into a diplomatic initiative "for Israel's sake", Mr. Foxman insisted .http://www.jpost.com/DiplomacyAndPolitics/Article.aspx?ID=215134&R=R1&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

 

This statement appears to be an ill-advised attempt of Mr. Foxman to apply public pressure to the Prime Minister of the State of Israel ("would help make the case for Israel", "ninety percent of American Jews would want", "Israel has to do it", etc.  The statement was made by Mr. Foxman at a time in which there is no lack of powerful world figures pressuring Mr. Netanyahu already. 

 

Can cause violence, lawfare, incitement: The pressurizing recommendation made by Mr. Foxman could be particular serious because, international mindset being what it is, each time an Israeli prime-minister offers a "diplomatic initiative", he is expected  to announce a package of territorial and other concessions toward Palestinians. Many concessions made by Israeli prime ministers  to the Palestinians in the course of "diplomatic initiatives" have in the past led to violence, bloodshed, lawfare, international media incitement and other extremely troublesome outcomes for Israel.  For example, Prime Minister Sharon's Gaza disengagement plan vastly increased the ability of Palestinians to lob rockets at large cities in Southern Israel, such as Beer-Sheva, Ashkelon and Ashdod; as well as generating the still-ongoing Gilad Shalit fiasco and serving as backdrop for massive international de-legitimization of Israel, including both the Goldstone Report, which harshly criticized Israel's attempts to protect itself against Gaza, and the Gaza flotilla affair.   

 

Just today, Israel's Minister for Strategic Affairs and former Chief-of-Staff, Minister Bogy Yaelon, stated that he is firmly opposed to concessions. (In Hebrew: http://www.ynet.co.il/home/0,7340,L-1924,00.html). Mr. Foxman's pressurizing statement seems to undermine the well-informed warning of the Government of Israel's most senior strategy expert.

 

Dangerous? Can turn to Mr. Foxman: If you are concerned about Mr. Foxman's pressurizing recommendation,  and feel that such statements, coming  from Israel's disapora, may elbow Israel's prime-minister toward concessions which are dangerous for his country, please feel free to forward this email to Mr. Foxman: afoxman@adl.org, and ask him whether he would be willing to consider withdrawing the pressurizing recommendation he has delivered publicly to the Government of Israel.

 

Please pass this on to others who may be concerned. If you wish, bcc us at: us4israel@gmail.com.

Photo by: Gary Cameron / Reuters 'US firmly opposed to PA seeking statehood in UN' By HILARY LEILA KRIEGER JERUSALEM POST CORRESPONDE 04/04/2011 Top White House ME adviser Dennis Ross tells ADL conference that negotiations the only way to produce a Palestinian state.

WASHINGTON – The US is firmly opposed to Palestinians pursuing a unilateral declaration of statehood through the UN, the top White House Middle East adviser said Monday. "We have consistently made it clear that the way to produce a Palestinian state is through negotiations, not through unilateral declarations, not through going to the UN," Dennis Ross told the Anti-Defamation League's annual leadership conference. "Our position on that has been consistent in opposition." RELATED: 'Quartet 'parameters' must address our needs' How Palestinians will use the GA to advance statehood As expectations increase that the Palestinians will seek a UN resolution on the issue this September, Ross disparaged the idea as unhelpful not only to the overall diplomatic environment, but to advancing the Palestinians' own goals. "This doesn't make it more likely that there'll be a Palestinian state," he said. Instead Ross reiterated the need for Palestinians and Israelis to engage directly, particularly given the regime-toppling occurring in the region. He said that young and emerging leaderships needed to see that Israel could make peace with the Palestinians and that negotiations were a course for achieving results. "It's important that they see that peace is a possibility," he said. "They need to see that negotiations can not only take place, but they can produce." For that to happen, he said, each side needed to show that it understood the other's needs and realities, including the Palestinians providing assurances over Israel's very real security needs. In addition, he said, "The Palestinians need to see that they can have an independent state that's contiguous and viable." Despite the regional confusion and the stalemate between Israelis and Palestinians, Ross declared that "one thing in this period of uncertainty that is certain is our relationship with Israel, bound with a set of shared values and interests." He continued, "The commitment to Israel's security is unshakable and ironclad. It's not just words. We are giving it life and meaning each day." He noted the very real risks, particularly Iran, and emphasized America's intention to make sure Iran doesn't acquire a nuclear weapon. "We will continue to increase the pressure on the Iranians," Ross said, pointing to sanctions and other diplomatic measures already being deployed against the regime, which is continuing to enrich uranium in defiance of the international community. Ross also acknowledged the risk that Iran would take advantage of the regional upheaval. "Iran sees in the turmoil something to exploit," he said, though he also spoke of opportunities stemming from the unrest. For one thing, Ross pointed to Arab regimes that have long blamed Israel for ills in the Middle East so as not to have to focus on the very frustrations among their population that triggered the current rebellions; a dynamic that would likely change. "They sought to deflect the anger they knew existed in their own societies onto others – onto the United States and onto Israel," he said. While so far the popular demonstrations have focused very little attention on Israel and the Palestinians, former US ambassador to Israel Martin Indyk warned that they could. "This doesn't mean they won't come around to the Palestinian issue," said Indyk, who spoke at an ADL conference panel after Ross. "It's not that this cause isn't important to the Palestinian state. It's that they have more important issues to deal with." He assessed that while the prospects for a deal between Jerusalem and Damascus had dramatically shifted as a result of the demonstrations – "the potential for making peace between Israel and Syria [went] out the window" – he urged the Israelis and Palestinians to hold quiet talks "while the rest of the Arab world isn't watching." Though he said the US would never allow the unilateral declaration of statehood to pass at the UN, Israel's diplomatic alliances were fraying nonetheless. "Time is not on Israel's side," he warned. "This would be a good time for the Israeli leadership to take initiative." Elliott Abrams, a deputy national security adviser in the George W. Bush administration who appeared alongside Indyk, agreed that Israel should take action despite the uncertainty in the region. While Abrams didn't foresee much likelihood of a final-status deal being reached with the Palestinians, he argued that Israel could still take steps in the short term toward the goal of a two-state solution that would yield dividends. "There is a very broad consensus in Israel that they need to separate from the Palestinians," he said. "I think that Israel would get a tremendous amount of diplomatic credit if it took any steps toward the goal that it seeks." Two proposals by Abrams were that the Knesset pass a law to compensate anyone living in far-flung settlements if they voluntarily moved within the security fence line, and that Israel itself recognize a Palestinian state, thereby undercutting the diplomatic momentum against Israel. "We need to get past the notion that separating from the Palestinians is a favor for the Palestinians," he declared. "The Zionists did not create Israel by waiting for the help of others." Following the panel, ADL National Director Abraham Foxman said it would help make the case for Israel if the Netanyahu government made a diplomatic initiative, given efforts to isolate Israel and blame it for the impasse with the Palestinians. "Ninety percent of American Jews would want the prime minister to take some kind of initiative," he said, though he didn't offer any specifics or indicate whether he felt the Jewish community had a policy preference. "Israel has to do it for Israel's sake," Foxman said. "Part of Israel's sake is the diplomatic atmosphere."

Politicians Warn Against PA State

Adar Bet 19, 5771, 25 March 11 03:12

by Hillel Fendel

(Israelnationalnews.com) The upcoming UN General Assembly session in September, where many countries are poised to recognize a Palestinian state, does not bode well for Israel.
 
Even Defense Minister Ehud Barak, who, as Prime Minister in 1998, once offered Yasser Arafat close to 98% of Judea, Samaria and Gaza for such a state, is concerned. In a speech last week, Barak said he considers this scenario a "political tsunami" against Israel.  He even said that this political development will carry a strong element of de-legitimizing the State of Israel. 
 
As opposed to an increasing number of politicians, however, his solution, was not to try to head off its formation – but only to remove its "unilateral" nature. He accused his boss, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, of not being more forthcoming in negotiations with the PA, and said Israel must express immediate willingness to discuss issues such as final borders, Jerusalem, and the settlement of Arab refugees.
 
Politicians Against PLO State
Many other politicians, however, are not willing to entertain the possibility of a Palestinian state at all, unilaterally or otherwise.  MK Anastasia Michaeli, for instance, of the Israel Our Home party, said this week that she and her party "are doing all we can to prevent… the formation of a hostile and belligerent state in Judea and Samaria."
 
Also last week, coalition whip and Likud faction chairman MK Zev Elkin, visiting post-massacre Itamar, stated strongly that "there is no place for a Palestinian state, not in temporary borders and not in any other configuration."
 
The grassroots "Mattot Arim" organization, based in Raanana, recently urged its members to "work strongly against Israel's upcoming big military mistake, namely turning Area A into a Palestinian state." 

Can Israel Override PLO Army?
The organization explained, "Even today, there is a Palestinian army in Area A. However, when this Palestinian army gets completely out of hand - for example, in 2002 when its members participated in horrendous terror attacks - the IDF simply retracts the PA army's freedom of operation, partially or completely, for a few hours or for many months. [On the other hand,] once there is a Palestinian state, the IDF will no longer be able to cast it or its army aside, temporarily or permanently, even after that state or army becomes heavily involved in terrorism."
 
Similarly, Arab-world expert Dr. Mordechai Kedar of Bar Ilan University wrote this week that Israel has only a little time left before the General Assembly session to convince the world how dangerous a Palestinian state would be, "not only to Israel but also to its neighbors."
 
Conditions Not Fulfilled
Kedar wrote that though Netanyahu laid down two conditions for his acceptance of an Arab state in Judea and Samaria, neither of these two conditions appears to be materializing. They were that the PA must recognize Israel as the state of the Jewish nation, and that any future PA state must be demilitarized. "Palestinian spokesmen repeat day and night that they would not dream of recognizing the State of Israel as the Jewish national home," Kedar wrote, and added that the recent capture of large shipments of weapons bound for Gaza show that the Arabs strongly intend to arm the PA entity "to the teeth with the longest-range, most modern weaponry."
 
Ten days ago, Likud MK Yariv Levin reported to his constituents his recent efforts against the formation of a Palestinian state. Having gone on record as being "diametrically opposed to recognizing a Palestinian state," he said he had "raised this issue in the last two Likud faction meetings, and in a personal conversation earlier this year with Deputy Prime Minister Moshe Yaalon."
 
A week earlier, Yaalon himself, who also serves as Strategic Affairs Minister, told an interviewer that he hopes it is "incorrect" that Netanyahu said he intends to offer the PA a state with temporary borders.
 
Last month, Deputy Prime Minister and former Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom went so far as to hint that he might leave the government were it to agree to the formation of a PA state. Shalom told the weekly B'Sheva newspaper that although Netanyahu is talking about such a state, "in our system of government, determinations are made by governmental decision, and there is no such government decision. I have never spoken about a Palestinian state and for as long as it is possible to influence the decision making process in the government, and for as long as no decision has been made that contradicts my position, I am in the government."
 
Netanyahu Against PA State
Netanyahu himself made perhaps the clearest case against a Palestinian state, when he addressed the Likud Central Committee in May 2002. Such an entity, he said, "will demand all the powers of a state, such as controlling borders, bringing in weapons, control of airspace and the ability to knock down any Israeli plane that enters its area, the ability to sign peace treaties and military alliances with other countries. Once you give them a state, you give them all these things, even if there is an agreement to the contrary - for within a short time they will demand all these things, and they will assume these powers, and the world will stand by and do nothing - but it *will* stop us from trying to stop them."

"We will thus have created with our own hands a threat to our very existence," Netanyahu continued. "What will happen if the Palestinians do what the Germans did after World War I, when they nullified the demilitarized zone? The world did nothing then, and the world will do nothing now as well. Even now, the Palestinians are removing all the restrictions to which they agreed in Oslo – they are smuggling in arms, polluting the water sources, building an army, making military deals with Iran and others, and more… But when we try to take action against this, the world opposes us – and not them..."

Netanyahu quoted Yasser Arafat: "Arafat said it best when talking to reporters the day he signed the Oslo Accords: 'Since we can't defeat Israel in war, we must do it in stages, we must take whatever area of Palestine we can get, establish sovereignty there, and then at the right time, we will have to convince the Arab nations to join us in dealing the final blow to Israel.' Self-rule, yes. But a state with which to destroy the State of Israel - no..."

Netanyahu continued, "When Arafat threatened to declare a Palestinian state in 1999, I announced at the United Nations that if he did so, we would annex broad areas of Judea,Samaria and Gaza – and Arafat capitulated." Might Netanyahu today follow his own advice from 2002?

"On matters vital to our existence," he concluded in 2002, "we always took clear action, even if others didn't agree with us. Because the bottom line is that saying 'Yes' to a Palestinian state means 'No' to a Jewish State, and vice-versa."

Orphaned Israeli child lashes out at Obama's America

Orphaned Israeli child lashes out at Obama's America

In the following short video-clip, you will see the 12 year old survivor of the recent Itamar massacre, in which  5 members of a single family lost their lives to Palestinian attackers. The child in the video-clip is the oldest daughter, age 12, of the slain family. A few days before this video was taken, her toddler brother, 3 years old, was stabbed in the heart by the Palestinians; her infant sister, 3 months of age, was slashed in the throat. Both parents were also killed as well as an additional child.

 

An emergency condolence visit to the grandparents and child-survivors was paid by Mr. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and can be seen in the youtube below. Even those of us who do not speak any Hebrew can catch the word "America" in the only sentence uttered by the tearful child, in Prime Minister Netanyahu's presence: "Ma yikreh im taaseh mashehu, az America taaseh lecha mashehu!?" (What will happen if you do anything, America will get at you!?). In other words, this child has concluded that Obama's America would not permit her prime-minister to "do anything" -- such as doing what would have been needed to protect her, or do what is needed in future to protect other children and babies from similar barbarism.

 

Can the Israeli orphan's sentiments be dismissed? President Obama has made settlement-bashing -- not barbaric terrorism -- the linch-pin of his foreign policy  http://abcnews.go.com/International/story?id=7694664&page=1  and his secretary of state only recently branded the entire community of  300,000 Judean/Samarian Jews, one of the largest Jewish communities in the world outside of the USA and sovereign Israel,  as "illegitimate" http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/hillary-clinton-israeli-settlements-illegitimate/story?id=12952834.

POLICE SHOOT MASSIVELY AT SHOMRON COMMUNITY

 

-To everyone's shock, police today actually shot massively at demonstrators, including a 75 year old, in the community of Havat Gilad in the Shomron. http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/eight-settlers-arrested-in-clashes-with-police-in-illegal-west-bank-outpost-1.346198.  This was not an error on the part of a single errant policeman but a genuine attack on the local Jewish community, using a large number of rubber or plastic bullets. At least 15 people were injured by the bullets which were fired by police coming to demolish some structures which - same old story - have never been allowed to obtain permits since the builders are Jews rather than Arabs. The links above, in the Hebrew section  (omitted), show ample photographic evidence of close-range shooting of rubber bullets which can cause death, evidence of gunshots above the waist line, which again can cause death, first-hand testimony of Adv. Gershon Mesika, Shomron Regional Council head, of police shooting without any provocation at all on the part of the attacked settlers, and reports of PM Netanyahu's personal commitment, given to Knesset Committee Chairman Mr. MK Adv. Yariv Levin, to look into the matter. You will also see, above, some English-language information about how rubber and plastic bullets can kill and permanently cripple people, and finally, some reminders about police's inaccurate accusations of "settlers" in the past (police reported they had "thrown acid"; however later follow-up revealed that nothing of the kind ever happened).   MUST FOLLOW NEWS FROM btselem.org  http://www.btselem.org/hebrew/firearms/rubber_coated_bullets.asp

Alert!  MARCH 30, 2011-Campaigners call on American shoppers to buy Israeli goods on 30 March to counter boycott movement- Pro-Israel groups are urging supporters to buy Israeli goods on March 30 to counter a global anti-Israel boycott called for that day.

"We are telling people to go to their local stores, request the exact Israeli products being targeted, and buy them out," said Roz Rothstein, co-founder and CEO of StandWithUs, which is spearheading the Buy Israel Goods project together with the American-Israel Chamber of Commerce. "Let store managers know they should keep Israeli products well stocked on the shelves."

March 30 has been declared the fifth annual Global Day of Action by the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign, an international initiative that seeks to undermine support for Israel using these three methods. The movement is asking its supporters to protest outside stores that stock Israeli products, and speak out for academic and cultural boycotts of Israeli individuals and institutions.

The two pro-Israel groups mounted a similar counter-protest last November, calling on shoppers to buy Israeli-made products at stores targeted by the BDS movement. A list of U.S. stores carrying Israeli products is available at http://www.BuyIsraelGoods.org.

4>Psychologist: Western Quran schools are "terrorist factories"

EuropeNews 23 February 2011

 

By Dr. Nicolai Sennels, psychologist and author

 

How to turn normal human beings into murderous and hateful psychopaths who blindly obey their totalitarian systems and its authorities suppressing and killing innocent people? In short: How to create a terrorist?

 

Violent and murderous political, ethnic and religious regimes have used the same effective methods throughout history all over the world. The procedure consists of two simple steps that are repeated again and again:

 

1) You force a person to repeat the system's doctrine again and again for months and years until he or she knows every word by heart and it pervades his or her whole way of thinking and it is the only truth they believe in.

 

2) You beat and scare the person (best if this is done randomly and severely), thus forcing him or her to become insensitive and unempathic in order to be able to bare the physical and psychological suffering and in order to increase feelings of anger, frustration and fear - feelings that are then directed against the system's enemies.

 

In this way you will create a person whose whole being is pervaded by the system's doctrine and who has lost the ability to feel both his own and others' pain. You will have an emotionally cold person that blindly follows his authorities and their political or religious doctrine. If you use this method on a child who is in the process of developing its personality, the learned doctrine will simply become a part of the child's personality. The psychological impact of the physical abuse will also be deeper. As children and youth are dependent on acceptance from adults, they are easier to influence.

 

Being a child psychologist I was shocked to realise that this is exactly what is done to millions of Muslim children in both the Muslim world and the West. Tens of thousand of madrassas and Quranic schools all over the world are making their students repeat the Quran and the Hadiths again and again, until they know them by heart. They are told to believe every word and never to question neither the way nor the goal.

 

It is normal in these schools that the defenceless and  innocent children are randomly beaten and humiliated by the teachers and older students - who themselves are emotionally destroyed beings who have been abused the same way as they now use against their pupils. They personify the goal: The abused becomes the abuser.

 

Britain has more than 2,000 madrassas, where more than 200,000 children aged from four to their mid-teens are taught the Quran on weekday evenings.

 

Investigations show that extreme violence is common in the British madrassas: "Students have been slapped, punched and had their ears twisted, according to an unpublished report by an imam based on interviews with victims in the north of England. One was "picked up by one leg and spun around" while another said a madrassa teacher was "kicking my head - like a football" ... Hiba, 7, was slapped across the face so hard by her madrassa teacher that her ear was cut. It later became inflamed and she had to have emergency medical treatment." The teachers are reported to punish the children whenever they mispronounce a word or forget a verse of the Quran. One private investigator reported that "the victims had grown to accept the abuse. 'They all joked about it. There's a culture that accepts it.'"

 

Another investigation disclosed that the children are taught to hate non-Muslims: "'You're not like the non-Muslims out there,' the teacher says, gesturing towards the window. 'All that evil you see in the streets, people not wearing the hijab properly, people smoking . . . you should hate it, you should hate walking down that street.'" The same investigation reports that during less than three hours of lessons the teacher beat children as young as six at least ten times. In one occasion during the secret filming one child is held down by an elder student while another elder student threatens to beat him with a small table.

 

These reports are from the West, where thousands of madrassas exist and millions of Muslim children are learning the traditional Islamic teachings by heart, many of them being physically and psychologically traumatized. Research show that in Muslim culture "moral education seems to be neglected in favour of punishment" which may explain the wide acceptance of the abuse by the childrens parents. Everybody is welcome to look for videos on e.g. YouTube about madrassas in Muslim countries, where the conditions and are even worse.

 

Seen from the perspective of a child psychologist, the many thousands of madrassas and Quran schools are literally terrorist factories creating an army-like Muslim population of youths and adults inside the Western countries. From early age they have been brainwashed to think that every word of the Quran should be taken literally and they have been made hateful and emotionally cold by the physical and psychological punishments. Making the schools non-violent will include emmense amounts of year long of control.

This also includes changing a central pattern of the Muslim culture - child raising - and the Muslim cultures massive failing of integration into non-Islamic cultures has proven that changing basic cultural values and behavior within the Muslim communities are almost impossible. Should we in spite of the immense challenges be able to remove the wide spread abuse, the children are still learning the Quran by heart and are taught to take every word at face value, which is exactly what Islamic terrorists do. Millions of children attend the madrassas and when they and their subsequent generations grow up, the consequences will be big.
