"[…] raised and coddled as future terrorists. And then one day, twenty... thirty years down the road, they can be sent in to help destroy our way of life." — Louie Gohmert (R-TX), 2010

“The TSA successfully prevented an alleged terrorist from boarding a JetBlue flight out of Florida on Tuesday [May 8, 2012]. Initial reports describe the suspect as having curly brown hair, around 33 inches in height and really into drinking milk from a bottle.
     The 18-month old daughter of two New Jersey-born Americans of Middle Eastern descent was reportedly the reason for sending Transportation Security Administration agents onto an about-to-depart plane in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida this week. The parents of the girl, who wish to remain anonymous, say the entire incident is absurd.
     Riyanna’s mother tells Fort Lauderdale’s WPBF 25 News that she was approached by an airline employee late Tuesday while onboard a JetBlue plane readying for departure. According to her, she was informed that TSA agents were waiting to speak with the family back inside the terminal.
     'And I said, "For what?”' Riyanna’s mother tells the network. 'And he said, "Well, it’s not you or your husband. Your daughter was flagged as no fly.”'"

“Israeli forces stormed a Jerusalem home this week and ordered the arrest of their terror suspect: Hamza Zeidani, a child who is only two-years-old.
     The Occupation forces entered the family home with a warrant for Hamza’s arrest and when they saw that he was a toddler, decided they would sieze his uncle, Mohammad Zeidani instead. […]
     An October 2013 Unicef report, found that during interrogation by Israeli Security Forces, Palestinian children had been 'threatened with death, physical violence, solitary confinement and sexual assault, against themselves or a family member' in efforts to gain confessions for alleged offenses, most commonly for throwing stones.
     This is the reality of life for Palestinian families across the West Bank and Gaza, as footage and witness testimony reveals in the documentary Stone Cold Justice. When Israeli forces are not conducting the mass kidnap, arrest, and torture of Palestinian children – they are simply killing them on the spot.”

“Owners of a spiritual shop are being subjected to tirades of abuse because they share their name with the extreme jihadi group ISIS .
     Derek Morgan and Lisa Warburton, who opened the Isis Centre, in central Stockport, Greater Manchester, three years ago, have been abused and accused of supporting the group, which has been dubbed the new al-Qaeda. […]
     In 2011 the pair thought calling the business Isis, after the Egyptian goddess of magic and healing, would be harmless but this year the name has taken on a more sinister connotation.”
