Well nickyg finally agreed with me on something: that al-Qaeda are nutcases in the grip of a death-cult. What may not be so obvious is that many Palestinians are too. While the Palestinians do have have grievances and sufferings to deal with, it is also true that there is a widespread organized death-cult mechanism at work in their society, actively teaching and proselytizing the deluded view that suicide bombers will ascend to a Paradise of 72 Virgins. Believe it or not this is very mainstream stuff for the Palestinians.
(excerpt)"In the week leading up to today's suicide bombings in Israel, Palestinian Authority television began rebroadcasting a music video glorifying martyrdom."...
..."The music video broadcast in the past week depicts "martyrs" joining beautiful maidens in heaven. Marcus notes it previously had been aired hundreds of times in the past three years before returning to PA television.
The Palestinian Authority, through its schools and media, teaches that "martyrs," who include suicide terrorists, will be rewarded with "72 dark-eyed virgins," or "maidens of paradise."
The television clip begins with scenes depicting a romance cut short when soldiers shoot the woman in the back. She immediately goes to heaven where she joyously joins other young women dressed in identical white gowns.
The "maidens" are dancing in water, a depiction of the afterlife in Islamic tradition. Later, the man visits the woman's grave, and the soldiers shoot him in the back as well. At the moment he falls to the ground, he immediately rises to heaven and joins the maidens.
Religious leaders have taught on PA television that when the martyr meets his maker, all his sins are forgiven from the first gush of blood. He is exempted from the “torments of the grave," or judgment, then comes into paradise where he marries 72 dark-eyed virgins." (end excerpt)
