According to typical propaganda, Islam is a "religion of peace." Why then would Iran, a country who has vowed to wipe out the Jews, train children for war? Why would countries of the world including Russia and the USA support Iran in their efforts to potentially manufacture nuclear arms?

September 30 - Iranian Theme Park Teaches Children War Tactics

Iran opened a military theme park this week designed to teach children as young as 8-years-old how to fight in a war and fire weapons at its perceived Western enemies. Located in a western suburb of the city of Mashad, the “Park of the Revolution’s Children” marks “Sacred Defense Week," an annual commemoration of the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s, according to a park brochure.

“The participant children are trained in shooting virtual fixed and moving targets including moving objects decorated with the U.S. and Israeli flag,” Hamid Sadeghi, the managing director of Children and Future Cultural House, which supervises the activities of this park, told Raja News.

In a photo essay released the state-run Iranian News Agency, children at the park are pictured carrying weapons in field drills, navigating an obstacle course and gathering around bonfires while wearing military apparel similar to Revolutionary Guard uniforms. The children learn how to defend a sacred monument that resembles a Shi’ite holy site in Damascus that Iran says it is protecting in Syria’s civil war, Sadeghi told Raja News.
