Thanks, again. By the way, there were two videos in the post. Do you want me to rewrite the link to second one?
Oh, sorry about that! By the way, if you want to get the video to show, see where it says “Embed” on the right of the YouTube page? Just copy and paste the code.
The kid in the first video is too cute. Disturbing. But very cute, I want to hug him.
Actually I take that back, I don’t wanna hug him anymore. He’d probably bite.

I tried that, but I think I am missing something.
Don’t worry, I added both.
I think both kids are talented. The first one’s great at public speaking. It’s sickening how badly they’re brainwashed. I wish these kids can live normal lives where ideologies and religion and politics aren’t enforced upon them.

Thanks for the videos. I agree with you that both of them are bright and very good in presenting themselves.
I have no idea what he is saying but I bet its very nice
the hand mannerisms of the first kid is clearly of some mulla I have seen before on the news. For me it doesn’t look natural. The second kid looks better. I have seen these kind of kids in the past when I was young, ministers. In fact I taught one in elementary school. He was some kid, had a really entertaining personality. IN church he was like a midget adult…like the top “mulla”( or whatever you would call him?). Church and “preaching” and singing was just a fun game for him….He always looked like he was having fun…Not like the top kid speaker here…..Makes me wonder what happened to Mark.
Edo River,
Yes, he is trying to resemble the typical Iranian mulla.
In Toastmasters International, a public speaking club, you learn about body language and gestures, which ones are positive and which ones are negative looking (well, for Western/US oriented culture) The top kid preacher didn’t appear negative to me, just unnatural for someone his age.
What about child female mullas?
Is it wrong to teach young kids about religion?
Not forcing them to follow it but to give them some knowledge and leave them to decide whether to follow or not? Would it be child abuse?
