Islamist extremism spreading among American children for years
After the New Orleans terrorist attack and amid intensifying warnings of Islamic terrorist threats within the US, a video resurfaced which shows hundreds of children in Houston wearing traditional Islamic dress, chanting references to Iran’s supreme leader, and praising martyrdom.
A video, aired by Iranian state media in 2022, showing children in Houston singing Iranian religious songs, has heightened concerns about the spread of Islamic extremism within the United States. The clip highlights ideological influences that extend beyond specific groups like ISIS or Iran’s regime.
Two years ago Iranian state media aired video of kids in Houston, hometown of the NOLA terrorist, swearing allegiance to the regime’s Supreme Leader
“Don’t look at my young age – I will be your soldier – One day when you need me, I will be your martyr”

In the two-minute clip that was first posted on the Islamic Education Center of Houston’s Facebook page but subsequently removed from YouTube, the Houston-area children — donning headbands and waving flags — are seen singing a trending Iranian religious song, some parts in English, as they swear allegiance to the regime’s supreme leader.
Lyrics of the chant include expressions of desires to become child soldiers as well as the taking of an oath to become a martyr.
The song which expresses support for the Islamic Revolution reveals the vivid hopes Iranian families and their children pin on the Islamic Republic in their quest for achieving the goals of the Revolution. The video resurfaced after an Islamic State terrorist drove a vehicle into a crowd in New Orleans, killing 15 people.
