The video, uncovered by the Seven Network, purportedly shows four boys, aged six to 13, performing as \u201cSoldiers of Khil\u00adafa\u201d or soldiers of the caliphate.<\/p>\n
The performance took place at an event organised by the Muslim Youth Project, and is believed to be linked to hardline group Hizb ut-Tahrir, in Sydney\u2019s Lakemba. Lebanese community leader Jamal Rifi condemned the group, saying the video made it clear Hizb ut-Tahrir was instilling in the boys the \u201cbuilding blocks of hate and unhappiness and a sense of not belonging\u201d.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cI would call on the mums and dads to be more \u00adinformed about this group and about their tactics.<\/p>\n
He said the larger Muslim community had rejected Hizb ut- Tahrir\u2019s ideology.<\/p>\n
In the video, the boys are seen chanting, \u201cYou\u2019re never too young to be a soldier for Khil\u00adafa\u201d and call for the creation of one Muslim \u00adnation without the West. They also say Mr Obama should go to hell and call for the head of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.<\/p>\n
Islamic Friendship Association of Australia spokesman Keysar Trad said the boys were not \u00addirectly calling for violence, but were singing a song about the \u00adSyrian revolution.<\/p>\n
He said that he had always been at odds with Hizb ut-Tahrir\u2019s ideology, but he respected its right to voice its views.<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir rhetoric brings harm to my religion, but I don\u2019t believe they\u2019re a violent group,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
