Children of ISIS (full documentary) | FRONTLINE

How ISIS recruits children who live in its territory to be the next generation of fighters.

Tens of thousands of children currently live in parts of Iraq and Syria that ISIS controls. The group is actively recruiting some of them to be its next generation of fighters. Boys who went through its training describe the coercive methods ISIS uses to indoctrinate children to encourage unquestioning loyalty and obedience, as it prepares them to fight.

They strung up and tortured a 14 year old boy and cut off his hands and feet. Where does it end? I feel sadness for the boy because I am the same age as him and I cannot imagine the pain and horror he must have went through. I don't think any of you out there can say you've gone through what he's been through.

"The Bulldozer" was actually captured by the Syrian Army in 2016. No ones heard from him since so i assume he died in one of their prisons.

Omar, I & millions of other people in this world & beyond would do absolutely anything for you. You are truly courageous & the one who chose to walk with God.

Use children’s to be a killers it’s horrible. They are kids, they have to enjoy their childhood, but not like this. I feel so sad and so sorry for all these people dude....

[stephenescandelor]

So sad to see these things happen to a young boy..😭

[AlexandraBolz]

It’s just scary to me how they’re brainwashing these kids into doing this. At least that 14 year old boy got out.

[yahyazeb]

[WolfHowl-TheLab]

Just so you guys know. The "Bulldozer" guy who dismembered him, was captured by allied forces, crying like a little girl

[giannisampo]

poor kids, they will never know how it is to have a normal life and how to play with a ball with your friends outside.

[HopeRegen]

That child's defiance to the murderers who corrupt the image of the Muslim faith is admirable. What a bloody legend. This is coming from an atheist, btw.

[timotejmarinko]

Some people don't know what soldiers are fighting for.. now they can at least see what they are fighting against.. nothing but monsters

[geminiwill]

My condolences goes out to these poor kids ❤💯

[ACEAFG]

im a muslim and these killers are not from the islam they are the dogs of the hell fire

[Bele]

I wonder how’s Omar doing now I hope and pray he’s doing well today

[phamman]

The problem with muslims is that when they’re together there’s a competition to see who’s more “Muslim”. But then when people are not looking back with their sinful ways

[awsajoure]

As a Muslim that's disgusting it's not how prophet Mohammad pbuh teached us
