In a video-clip released by ISIS in Dijlah Province, Iraq, children are shown undergoing military training, including hand combat, shooting, and simulations of prisoner taking. One of them says: "I swear, we shall conquer Rome, shatter your crosses, and take your women captive. Another child grabs a rifle, saying: "Give me my gun, I am done talking... We are coming to Rome, Allah willing."


Following are excerpts from the video-clip, which was posted on the Internet on July 23, 2015.


Child member of ISIS: Oh brothers, Islam is under a Jewish-Crusader attack from all the countries of the world. This attack has targeted Islam and the Muslims.

Scenes of child ISIS members training in martial arts and weapons


Child ISIS member sings: My trench is my grave, my grave is my trench, and my trigger is silent, it does not speak. They said I am passionately in love with the narcissus flower, but I said that I am in love with nothing except my gun.


[…]


Oh servants of Allah, Allah has made Jihad for His sake lawful. Jihad is the pinnacle of Islam.


[…]


Our final ware will take place on your own turf, Allah willing. I swear, we shall take back the city of Nahavand [in today's Iran]. I swear, we shall conquer Rome, shatter your crosses, and take your women captive, Allah willing. This is the promise made by the Prophet Muhammad.

ISIS child member wearing fatigues: Praised be Allah, who ordered us to prepare and wage Jihad for His sake, and promised us a great reward and a clear victory.

Fetch me my gun, I am done talking. What good has talking done for us, oh Arabs?


[…]


We are coming to Rome, Allah willing. Allah Akbar!


[…]


Toddler wearing ISIS band on his forehead: Oh Baghdad, have patience. We are coming.
