IS publishes Android app for children – Android Planet

Weird News: IS has an Android app published for children. The app teaches the youngest children the Arabic alphabet, but that’s not all.

For the preparation of attacks is getting smarter use by modern terrorists today technology. Also, Android apps are among the means. Of course, these apps are not available in the Play Store, download links go eg via chat apps like Telegram around. Earlier there was already discovered an Android app that IS propaganda was distributed. The newest app, however, is even more striking because it is completely focused on children. The app is called Huroof what ‘alphabet’ or ‘letters’ in Arabic. The goal of the app is to help children to read and speak Arabic, but of course there is more to.

Huroof games contains words that children learn and get to remember certain characters. There are songs in which the alphabet is taught through a catchy tune. The app also all used bright colors to make the whole more attractive to the young user. So far latch still innocent until it is examined further. For example, the songs that are used to convey the alphabet? The texts are full of jihadi terms. And games to facilitate learning? Between the sheets of balloons and flowers, there are guns, tanks, bullets and to see missiles. Children these words should know as early as possible.

IS puts a lot of work in the recruitment of children, so that the terrorist organization continues to grow. So there IS special schools and training camps where children are indoctrinated. A playful-looking app on Android phones to make it even easier to reach the youngest with the message of IS, so they join later possible. learned early is done old, we sometimes say in the Netherlands. That is a sad thought in this case.
