Report toddler extremism, says British government

[Scomagia]

Except that the OP doesn't mention violence and hatred, it mentions "extremism".

It's sufficiently obvious what that word is standing in for given how politicians and government bodies tend to use the word "extremism" in the modern era.

No, it isn't obvious. It's vague. That's the point. It leaves plenty of wiggle room.

I think what they might be trying to do, but saying in a bad way, is to prevent the spread of misinformation and radical ideas among easily impressionable young children. They may be taking it to the extreme, but considering the experiences I've had with young children believing anything and everything, I can actually see how they could easily become radicalized.

The issue here is the weaselly nature of the wording. "Extremism". What is "extremism"?

Did some BNP geniuses express concerns about babies spreading and enforcing Sharia Law?

Hehehehe, that made me giggle.

the war on terror gets more and more ridiculous

I totally agree. I think that this is like another "red" scare... you know, the more afraid of "terrorists" we are, the more successful real terrorists become. We're only giving them what they want.

We don't just empower terrorists, we empower Authoritarians, as well.

Governments need external threats to keep their citizens distracted form what they themselves are doing.

What ???

Most toddlers can barely read, speak or write. How can we possibly detect extremism (whatever that means) if they can barely communicate their thoughts. My baby boy played with a pink barbie doll. Extremism roots !

If a child is in nursery, how can they have gone to a madrassa? If they're taught all non-Muslims are evil, which obviously doesn't happen outside of The Four Lions, why the fuck are their parents putting them in a general-population nursery?
If they actually believe that, the father will probably be misogynistic enough to demand his wife raise the child in the first place, negating the need for nursery.

My government is again showing it's scared of the Browns but not willing to openly state this (I'm not racist but, blah, blah, blah), by suggesting that "right from wrong" is a "British value", totally uncommon to the rest of the world, or even the west which is typically shorthand for "civilised" anyway.

Sounds like the british government...

"HE BIT MEH!"

"Anti-Terrorism Hotline?"

"HE BIT MEH!"

*2 Minutes later the nursery is surrounded by BMW X5s and Jankels, with armed officers throwing teargas through the windows, the baby would do a puss in boots, passifying the counter-terrorism agents, then knocking the absolute sh!t out of them with his bottle.*

The miniature Mujahideen, the tiny Taliban, the infant ISIS, the baby Boko Haram... none of these exist.

Are you sure? Children are nasty things. How do you know your local bully isn't just a front for a Taliban infiltration? And how do you know that the shy girl in the corner of the class that newer speaks to anyone isn't actually working for the PLO?* They could be smuggling bombs in their lunch boxes!

*And yes I am old...

Oh but you are mistaken. Not only do they exist, but they are already releasing photos and videos making threats of aggression and demands. See for yourself!

We must intern all babies! Put them in some sort of camp where we can concentrate on them intensely.

Sadly I think this government would be prepared to spend much more money on concentration camps for toddlers than they would on childcare.

Don't they count as one and the same?

Not unless G4S have the contract.

Actually I don't think this has to be stupid. A "toddler" is from my understanding a child in the age between one years old and three. At that age kids usually haven't developed the thinking required to rebel against political doctrines, which means that kids promoting terrorism at that age are likely to have been heavily indoctrinated from their birth and onwards. If however you were to find a child at the age of seven or upwards walking around painting swastika signs, "ISIS" or "Al-Qaeda" that kid is most likely just testing the limits of public expressions.

You know what's worse than terrorist toddlers?

Zombie terrorist toddlers.
