These photos were taken in Sydney a few days ago, during violent protests triggered by a YouTube video mocking Islam and the prophet Mohammed. Apart from the possible psychological harm inflicted on these children by their parents (I assume the children are old enough to be able to read the signs they’re holding), there’s also the fact that we can’t hope for a better world as long as people insist on teaching their children how to hate.
