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.

              Christianity is rigid about charity and being good to each other.

              Right, that’s exactly what fundamentalist christians are known for. Not at all for sending conversion missions abroad, child abuse and witholding basic human rights from people who refuse to convert.

                Outside of your echo chamber, that is actually what they are known for. You’re going to be in for a rude awakening soon if you insist upon continuing to refuse to engage with the actual, real, world.

                  No, they aren’t, literally only Christian’s think that, and only about themselves and their specific sects of Christianity. I know, I grew up super Christian, I’ve met them. I’ve been there. And when I gave up the faith and ventured outside the Christian echo chamber I was shocked at the actual reality of how people saw us. How I see them now.

                  lol how is pointing out that Christianity also creates violence defending terrorists? You’re fucking deranged man. Stop trying to promote christofascism through sheer force of stupidity.

              Rational and religious lol. Go ahead and tell me what the majority religion was in Germany in the 1940s. I’ll wait while you Google it.

        You do understand that your ‘clever’ ignorance isn’t actually going to be ignored by the world, right?

        Stop aiding terrorism.
