Disturbing new footage featuring child soldiers of ISIS has been released, in which brainwashed youngsters describe their dreams of becoming terrorists when the grow up.

The latest in a long line of shocking films by the militant group shows children no older than 10 being interviewed about their dreams, in stark contrast to the 'infidel' children of the west.

The young jihadists are introduced as "the cubs of the caliphate" by a narrator, who later describes them as "the generation that will conquer Damascus, Baghdad, Jerusalem , Mecca, Al-Medina, Dabiq, Rome and Andalusia".

Speaking to the camera, one young boy says: "I want to be a martydom seeker for the sake of Allah, thus heeding the words of the Prophet Muhammed: 'The martyrs that Allah loves most are the ones who fight on the front lines, and do not turn their backs until they are killed.'"

Another boy says: "I want to be a martyrdom-seeking religious scholar, like my brother was."

Other footage of the Islamic States students sitting reading the Quran are then contrasted with pictures of Muslim children taking part in X-Factor style talent competitions on Western television.

The narrator says: "Parents undoubtedly play a role in their children's deviation from the right path.

"You see some of them hastening their children into western schools artistic groups and clubs, and singing competitions.

"They do not care about the harm these cause to the faith of their children."

The video also features footage of children firing guns alongside fully-fledged ISIS soldiers.

The voiceover says: "From a very young age, they are raised on harshness, hatred and animosity towards the infidels.

"Just as they are humble towards Muslims, they are harsh towards the infidels."

In another disturbing clip, a young ISIS 'cub' tells young children of similar age to put on extra clothes while swimming "because your private parts can be seen".

Another young victim is filmed telling his "uncle" to shave his moustache and grow his beard "to comply" with the words of Muhammed.

The twisted video was re-posted and translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

It was first published by the murderous caliphate on September 6.
