French Teens By the Hundreds Heed the Siren Call of Jihad in Syria--and "Poverty" Has Nothing To Do With It

Allons enfant de le Jihad, le jour de gloire est arrivé!:

We begin with the story of 15 year old Hakim from Toulouse who has reportedly joined a growing number of French people in Syria to fight a holy war or Jihad against President Bashar al-Assad's forces.  

According to Aujourd’hui en France, Hakim hails from a comfortable middle class French family. The popular paper caught up with Hakim’s father, who has just returned from Syria where he went searching for his son, in vain. Hakim, according to Aujourd’hui en France, is just one of a growing number of young French people going to Syria after being brainwashed by radical Islamists recruiters. French intelligence sources put the number of French Jihadists in Syria at 220 with about one fifth of them new converts, according to Aujourd’hui en France.

The paper says at least 18 have been killed, yet scores more are believed to be on transit or trying to go to Syria. The Paris anti-terrorism brigade is investigating 31 cases of terrorism involving 400 suspects, including four teenagers, since the outbreak of the Syrian conflict.

Those who can't, car-B-cue; those who can, fight a holy war or Jihad.

Update: In other teen jihad news, Hamas is training 13,000 young'uns to blow themselves (and, ideally, lots of infidels) up for Allah.
