Love the Lord of the Flies reference.
I think the best part of it is that the book can legitimately be seen as a criticism of the violent indoctrination children are part of in Western civilization. An indoctrination that Golding clearly argues is the reason for their deep-seated violent tendencies.
Strangely, you seem to be using the book as an argument that Muslim children are dangerous with the implication that this applies to them...
... I don't think when Golding writes about the war cruiser turning up at the end he means that the people who disembark are Jihadis. Do you?
Young people are brought up in Western civilization to believe that acts of war are OK, because they are heroic and for our cause. They're shown constantly that carpet bombing in the Middle East is fine, because the powers that be say it is, and that the people being bombed are worse than us, they're barbarians and if we don't bomb them they will takeover the world. Any act of violence or resistance that they show in return is not OK, they're not allowed to retaliate because we said so.It is simply a fact that some Muslim children are being raised to hate Westerners and Western values ? Do you deny this ?
What proportion this is of the total Muslim population I don't know. It's probably quite small at the moment, but it's known that when people form gangs whether it be outlaw motorcyclists or jihadis, law and order goes out the window in favour of a battle between rival alpha males for dominance within the group and that may include a show of bravery in planning jihadi attacks or other shows of macho bravado.
So what your basis for saying that Western children in general are part of a "violent indoctrination" as you put it ? I certainly wasn't but that was a long time ago. Violent crime seems to be reducing in Australia so we are told, but the level of Islamic jihadi incidents or other unsavoury acts by Muslims appear to be increasing. Would you agree ? How do you account for this ?
TL;DR version: Young people are told violence against others is OK if it's for a proper cause and the government says it is.

I don't think I ever said they were silly or that it wasn't possible for them to question what they were told. But the evidence right in front of me seems to suggest that for some it is fairly insurmountable.Young people may be told that, and some may believe it, but during the Vietnam war there were widespread protests against conscription leading to its abolition, so the young aren't as silly as you make out.

Well, yes people join the Armed Forces voluntarily, that doesn't necessarily mean that they think war is a good idea, they may just want a job. Fighter pilots usually go on to be airline pilots at a better pay grade for example.
What evidence is in front of you that forms your opinion ?
Leaving my house on Saturday only 50 metres from my place on the next corner a bloke on the nature strip facing the setting sun eyes closed arms crossed with a mat in front of him, do Muslims face West to pray? It was disturbing I must say.
Just checked yes they face West when in Australia.
Do they vector the location to make sure they bullseye Mecca or is it hit and miss? I'm amazed they can handle the belief the world is a sphere, yet they believe in fairies ....
Google it and you'll see it depends on where you are .....which hemisphere etc
Yeah but if you just face east or west you will merely be praying to a latitude. Surely if this fella was, say. in Perth he'd have to face north of west by some degree to take in the difference between 31degs South and 21degs North destination, then the curvature of the earth, etc?
Near enough is good enough. She'll be right effendi.
Do prayers radiate from the noggin perimeter or just one small transmission portal? I say this because for some obscure reason you see Christians kneeling with eyes closed and facing groundward, other times you see them looking up in the sky muttering to the clouds. In the Islam they point their bums to the sky and faces down, what's that all about?
When they start laying prayer mats in public near your home it's a worry but no one will do anything about it , even when the suicide bombers start the Govt will do nothing.
