As ISIS continues to established its brutal caliphate across parts of Syria and Northern Iraq, it’s also doing something else: working to hammer home its twisted worldview into the minds of vulnerable and impressionable children there.
This 13-year-old boy (who calls himself Mohammed for security reasons) managed to flee to Turkey with his father, escaping ISIS’ clutches. But not before the terrorists were able to implant their poisonous ideology into Mohammed’s young mind.
When ISIS took control of Raqaa, Syria, they forced several kids like Mohammed to train in their camps. In an interview with CNN, the teenager recounted 6 terrifying experiences during his time at the camp.
1. Being forced to watch beheadings.

2. When a man didn’t fast for Ramadan, ISIS made an example out of him by crucifying him.

4. Witnessing corporal punishment for not adhering to Sharia. In this photo, a man is receiving 25 lashings for forgetting to attend Friday prayers.

5. He was made to take an oath of allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

6. Learning that waging war and using guns are for entertainment purposes.
Clearly, Mohammed’s testimony presents an even stronger case for why the world needs to stand up and stomp out the ISIS threat. Because if the hatred doesn’t stop with the children, where does it stop?
