These children, or a million others just like them, are the ones who will grow up willing to strap a bomb under their clothes just so they can take some of the hated Crusaders with them. A lifetime of mind-bending horror will do that to them. The U.S. is building a MOUNTAIN of bad karma with what it’s done. May God, or Allah, or just the universe, help America when the time of balancing the scales comes.

Matthew 17:6
But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Matthew 17:14
Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
