I am totally sickened

Women are not dross in the Muslim mind. What an extremely offensive statement. What is the Muslim mind. I am truly shocked by such a statement. Real welcome to any Muslim grandparent who wants to engage on Gransnet. Absolutely appalled by some of the tropes on this thread.

brilliant comment cagsy..I totally agree....

Those poor, dear little girls, who could have understood nothing of their mission

My one hope is that, far from reaping rewards for all of eternity, these murderers will be condemned to an afterlife - for all eternity - of the worst kind of torture.

My contempt for these bastards is beyond words.
It seems there's nothing that they won't do. Hideous and horrifying.

I join you all in expressing horror at the use of little children as walking bombs. It has been said before that the only real victims of all wars are the innocent children. I thought that this was tragic enough a fact but these actions take the horror to a new level. Pity the innocent!

Surely the majority of these children are not 'suicide bombers' but are victims of murder.

If your religion/beliefs require you to kill people, start with yourself

Whichever preacher of hate decided to use innocent children for these barbaric acts should be hung by the hands until he dies, Nothing is bad enough, 'an eye for an eye'.......maybe he would like to be stoned publicly .....death by blowing himself up is too quick ...he/they must suffer as those poor children did...hoping they didn't realise what was happening to them. And to repeat a question on here ,,,where is the Qu'ran is there any justification for such acts ......I pray for Allepo but hold out not too much hope that things are going to be better for those poor souls any time soon

Innishowen I was going to mention that too, the young girl with Down's Syndrome would be double useless to these monster, I suppose. This latest atrocity goes beyond belief, until the next one sadly. There were also reports at the weekend of bus loads of young boys and men having been driven away against their will. I dread to think what is happening to them.

I remember a conversation with a Muslim friend, he said that nowhere in the Koran do the words Holy and War appear together. He also said that Mohammad preached that whoever spills the blood of one person spills the blood of the world. So how can these cowards claim they are fighting for Islam.

How can they call this a 'religion'? It has NOTHING to do with Muslims! Barbarians is what they are, stuck in a medieval timewarp. Evil to the extreme and totally lacking in humanity. Only COWARDS use children like this.

It's beyond tragic, what can I say that others haven't already. We can't comprehend a culture that allows this.

A barbaric act. children are killed, starved, abused in so many countries

Help not elp!

There was also a young boy, maybe about 10 or so but he couldn't go through with it and cried for elp. Poor kids.

Most definitely on drugs supplied by those who indoctrinate them. Not forgetting free access to as many girls/women they desire, alcohol, etc etc.

I can't think of an appropriate word to describe them. 'Disgusting' seems far too polite.

I've shed some tears this morning over the horror and the cowardice of this dreadful thing but I didn't know about the Downs girl, inishowen - that's so far beyond evil I can't really comprehend it.

So sad, so senseless, so stupid

I also remember they used a teenage girl who had Downs as a suicide bomber. Evil doesn't describe them.

It is beyond comprehension that anyone would do this. Having lived in the Middle East women are so undervalued and unimportant. Those poor little girls. I doubt they knew.
I used to try explaining to those I knew using farming as an example; one bull and lots of females etc; all the baby bulls being killed and eaten as they weren't important. I also explained that we all start off as females - they didn't like that.

I agree totally sickening and absolutely unforgivable. What is really wrong with a person who could do this? They must be severely mentally ill or else high on drugs.

Two mothers somewhere must either have condoned this, or be going through every shade of hell there is - that's beyond imagining too.

Beyond comprehension. How do you cope with a mindset that believes if you 'die for your faith' it is a ticket to paradise? Someone (it might have been a 'Boris' opinion) said that these 'freedom fighters' are mostly young men who are disaffected, minds blown by hard drug use, and totally lacking in anything passing for humanity. What a terrifying thought, and what can be done to counter this?

The sad fact is we have known the extremist groups such as Boko Haram, Daesh et al have used child suicide bombers for years. They take children from parents, or wherever for training as foot soldiers or rape women, children and males. and brain wash the poor souls into their extremist religious 'duties' including being a suicide bomber.

We have had this knowledge for years and it will not stop until the likes of Boko Haram and Daesh are eradicated . Lord knows when that will be.

The terrifying thought is we in the UK are not immune from this form of terrorism either.

They are barbaric animals who hide behind religion but children grow into adults with their brainwashed , extremist hatred of the west and all those who do not agree with them and they have covered the world with their hatred.

What a world!
