He is an amateur compared to our 4 year old Imam.




Child prodigies exist among all people. The children may be gifted, but this is no proof of anything. I just hope none of these children are exploited as Mafjoe Gortner was.

I have no objection to religious children. As long as no extreme means were used to make them so. While I enjoy the little Muslim Imam, I do not expect non-Muslims to see him the same way I do, nor consider him to be anything except a child prodigy.

You can't even understand his words in that video at 21 months. He's just imitating what he has seen. Now at 4, you can understand him, but it's still gibberish when you consider what he is saying *Pentacostal?* *Mississippi?*
*God has to do it?* What he is saying makes absolutely no sense.

Absolutely. He is just mimicking his father. He could just as easily be dressed up as a fireman and pretending to put out fires if that is what his father's occupation was. A cupcake of an interview as well.

I think what is even sadder than indoctrinating your child, is the poor suckers who believe these children are somehow 'divine' and 'special'.

Humans are just all too willing to throw logic out the window for a small piece of so-called magic.

Sad indictment of humanity really.

I had to LOL at this video, but it's also very telling. Unfortunately, this poor boy has no idea what he's saying or doing. He's too young to have any concept of the indoctrination that he's been privy too.

On the bright side, his father must be a good dad - afterall, his son wants to be just like him.

On the funny side, listening to his 'sermon' is about as intellectual as just about any other preacher, LOL

"And then God is going to do it! And then Jesus is going to do it! Then God! Then Jesus!"

Hilarious... and scary...

Too bad there are no "militant atheist" child projedies. Does anyone think Jesus was a child projedy? If he was God, then he was God at 4 years of age. Am I right?

All I can think of is Artie Johnson's classic line when he used to pop his head out of the bushes as a German spy on Rowan and Martin's Laugh In (for those of you old enough to remember)

Velly intellesting, but stupid!!
