After his arrest, investigators found the 12-year-old had been gorging on videos of decapitation and torture, including 1,739 jihadi videos and bomb-making tutorials.

The boy’s descent began with Quran searches and led to encrypted chats and ultraviolent propaganda from extremist groups like Islamic State. French prosecutor Paul-Edouard Lallois warned he risked becoming a “completely dehumanized soldier.”

Across Europe, minors are increasingly appearing on terror radars, with France’s anti-terror unit charging 19 minors in 2023 alone.

Extremist content is just a click away, with radicalization sometimes beginning through violent pornography or a fascination for gory images, leading to jihadi decapitations.

    Pfft. You have no idea what you’re talking about. All religions are personal beliefs that can be co-opted by powerfull forces and changed into abhorrent cults that end up murdering people.

    Christianity is at the forefront of that. Forced/enforced adherence to ‘shared commonality’ doesn’t make for a free people. It only helps birth more cogs for the machine. And you pointing specifically at Islam simply shows your inherent racism and simple lack of knowledge and wisdom.
