Using children to wage war is nothing new to Muslims, Christians, etc. It has been going on for decades in South America and Africa, and it can be argued that it has been going on since man picked up the first weapon. Here's an article on it-- Human Rights Watch: Child Soldiers

The only thing new is the technology and proliferation of the media that guarantee "messages" like this will be spread around the world.
