European Jihadists in Syria More and Younger

[Sally]

I think every country is worried that these young people who are running to join the Jihadists and getting combat experience will come back and commit terrorism in their own countries. It's sad how brainwashed these young people are; instead of running to Syria, they should be running to school to complete their education.

European security officials say that in recent weeks they have noticed an "alarming acceleration" in the number of European jihadists traveling to Syria to obtain combat experience with Islamist groups linked to al-Qaeda.

"France, Germany and the U.K. may have the largest foreign fighter contingents in Syria, but Denmark, Norway, Belgium and Austria have contributed a much higher proportion of their population... [and] may have a larger problem on their hands than do their bigger European neighbors." — Thomas Hegghammer, Norwegian political scientist.

Two teenagers from the southern French city of Toulouse have run away from home to become jihadists in Syria.

The youths—both aged 15—are believed to be the youngest-ever European jihadists to join the fighting in Syria since the war there began in March 2011.

The boys are part of an influx of up to 2,000 Europeans—including 700 from France alone—who have traveled to Syria in the hopes of overthrowing the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and replacing it with an Islamic state.

are you surprised, Sally? All teenaged boys SEEK SOCIAL APPROVAL----they
want to be HEROES-------reacognized as such. In the USA today---the way to
social recognition includes such feats as becoming a SPORTS HERO---or a ROCK
STAR-----we even have a TV show called "AMERICAN IDOL"----which is nothing more
than kids trying to be RECONIZED HEROES in accordance with USA social more's.

In Toulouse France---the way to heroism in meccaist circles is BE A DEPRAVED
MURDERER. remember the case of the young FRENCH MECCAIST IDOL---who
atteined heroism by grabbing the hair of a four year old jewish girl and shooting her
brans out? -----his slutty sisters DANCED IN THE GUTTERS in celebration. The eager
participation of UMMAH dogs in the blood bath of Syria ------was inevitable.
