'Mom, I'm ISIS': Meet the Generation Brainwashed by ISIS and the Woman Trying to Save Them"After just a few lessons of learning about religious freedom through simulations and activities in a very indirect way, that forces them to internalize it and to work through some of the questions that they have about this freedom. At the end, their attitude has shifted in just a matter of a few lessons." -Tina Ramirez, president and founder of Hardwired, Inc.
That's why Tina Ramirez, president and founder of Hardwired, Inc., and a longtime expert in religious freedom, calls for immediate intervention. "When you're dealing with children that are under 14 that have just been living under indoctrination of hate, violence, and have witnessed it, have sometimes been forced to engage in that violence themselves—that's all they've known. Freedom for them is a foreign concept," Ramirez said. Children Brainwashed to Hate Others "Those children—when they talk to their mothers—they say 'Mom I'm ISIS. I don't want to be Yazidi.' or ' I'm Muslim. I'm ISIS,'" Ramirez explained. In other places, ISIS passed on their core beliefs via the classroom.
Horrifying Scene: Students Behead a Fellow Student "A teacher that we work with came across a group of students playing a game and when they looked, they were shocked," Ramirez recalled. "And then they told us what happened. They realized it was a group of students beheading another student. They were so terrified they didn't even know what to do. And we've heard the same stories in Lebanon, in Morocco-I mean, this is all over the Middle East."
Finding a New Approach to Save the Next Generation And that means making schools the frontlines for children by training teachers to help students learn not to just tolerate each other's beliefs, but to defend them. "After just a few lessons of learning about religious freedom through simulations and activities in a very indirect way, that forces them to internalize it and to work through some of the questions that they have about this freedom," Ramirez said. "At the end, their attitude has shifted in just a matter of a few lessons." Patterson added, "The biggest idea is that every human is hardwired for freedom and we believe this as Christians. So that idea is really at the heart of it." Lessons of the 'Peaceful Garden' "Until we have a society that embraces religious freedom for everyone, we will only see cycles of religion-related conflict all around the Middle East and around the world," Ramirez said. She believes that teaching kids now to respect and defend religious freedom can ultimately help to shut down extremism and stabilize societies that desperately need peace.
