Following are excerpts from an ISIS video showing the graduation ceremony of new "Mujahideen Cubs", which was posted on the Internet on December 29, 2013:

 

Master of Ceremonies: The Prophet Muhammad said: "Rome will be conquered." This is a prophetic hadith. What will be conquered?

 

 

Children in the crowd: Rome!

 

 

Master of Ceremonies: So how is Rome supposed to be conquered? Are we to go the U.N. Security Council and say: "We have a hadith, so please conquer Rome for us"? Answer me, guys!

 

 

Children in the crowd: No!

 

 

Master of Ceremonies: Are we to go to the Arab League and say that the Bukhari and Muslim collections include a hadith about the conquest of Rome?

Our terror is blessed, a divine call.

 

 

With the Alawite regime, [unintelligible].

 

 

We have brought slaughter upon you. There will be no agreement.

Master of Ceremonies: The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said...

 

 

I didn't hear you bless the Prophet.

 

 

Children in the crowd: Allah's prayers and blessings upon him.

 

 

Master of Ceremonies: Whoever possesses the following three qualities will taste the sweetness of faith: He must love Allah and His prophet more than anyone else, okay? The most beloved thing is Allah and His prophet – I love them more than I love myself, my family, my money, my child. You must love another person only because that person loves Allah. You shouldn't love him because he is tall, short, gives you money, won prizes, I love him because is a Muslim and I hate him if he is an...

 

 

Children in the crowd: Infidel!

 

 

Master of Ceremonies: Do you love infidels?

 

 

Children in the crowd: No!

 

 

Master of Ceremonies: Disavow the infidels! "Oh you who believe! Do not accept my enemy and yours as a friend."

 

 

[...]

 

 

What do we love more – our fathers, wives, children, and our money and business, or Jihad for the sake of Allah?

 

 

Children in the crowd: Jihad for the sake of Allah!

 

 

Master of Ceremonies: If that's the case - well done!
