A Killer goes to Islamic Wedding!
Wedding Procession is for Murderer!
Reward of a Shahid in PA Society is a Lie!
Poor Abu-Dheim gets No Wedding Procession
But he still gets 72 Dark-Eyed Virgins in Paradise
While a free World tries in vain with the PA to Reason
In a land of Jihad Nuts where Peace never has any Season!

The Christi an M
artyr Reward is quite different from that described in the Arutz Sheva Article details of the type of reward given by Allah to Islamic Martyrs.
The Christian is martyred by the enemies of God for his testimony from the Word of God, while the Islamic Martyr kills the enemies of Allah by blowing them up as he kills himself.
Revelation 6:9-11 – And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: [10] And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth
? [11] And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
The Jihad Martyr gets 72 dark-eyed Maidens (Virgins) of Paradise. The Christian Martyr gets a white robe.
Serving God as a Christian certainly does have fantastic eternal reward.
Revelation 3:3,4 – Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou
shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. [4] Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
Revelation 16:15,16 – Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. [16] And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
I Corinthians 15:57,58 – But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. [58] Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Fatah-Controlled PA Media Lauds Killer as a ‘Groom’
11 Adar Bet 5768, 18 March 08 12:32
by Nissan Ratzlav-Katz
(IsraelNN.com) In an article in the Fatah-controlled Palestinian Authority newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, the Arab terrorist who murdered eight children and young men in Jerusalem’s Mercaz HaRav seminary was described using terminology used by Islamic fundamentalists for those killed in the name of religion. The terrorist, who was already called a shahid or “martyr” in the same newspaper, was referred to as a “groom” and his burial, as a “wedding,” in the Friday March 14 edition.
As explained by Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook of the Palestinian Media Watch organization, “The term ‘wedding’ is the expression commonly used in PA society, and in PA schoolbooks as well, to describe the death of Shahids – Martyrs for Allah. According to Islamic tradition, they will wed the 72 Dark- Eyed Maidens (Virgins) of Paradise.”
The Al-Hayat Al-Jadida story describes the nighttime burial of the terrorist by Israeli authorities with a headline saying, “Jerusalem groom, Abu-Dheim, leaves without his wedding procession.”
The article opens with the description: “The residents of the town Jabal Mukaber, were surprised by the sounds of loudspeakers blasting from the [mosque] minarets announcing that the Jerusalem groom, the Shahid, Ala’a Abu-Dheim has gone without their participation in his wedding procession.”
According to the newspaper, among the residents of Jabal Mukaber, the terrorist’s hometown adjacent to Jerusalem, “everyone was in a state of anticipation… preparing themselves for the wedding procession. At five o’clock in the morning the loudspeakers of the mosque minarets announced the shocking news to the thousands who were waiting, that the groom was buried in the morning without a celebration and without a wedding procession… frowning faces…expressing their sorrow for having been denied [the right] to participate in the groom’s procession and to accompany him to the town’s cemetery…”
The PA newspaper reported that Israeli authorities prevented all but a few adults from accompanying them to the local cemetery for the pre-dawn burial of Abu-Dheim. As Al-Hayat Al-Jadida comments, the Israelis “wanted a quiet wedding without music, thinking that way Jerusalem would forget its groom… But the wedding will not end this way… it will last three consecutive days in which [the town] al-Sawahra will welcome all of those who come to congratulate the groom and will hang his portrait embracing the nation’s flags.”
Marcus and Crook point out that the view that a shahid goes on to a wedding can be seen in various outlets in PA society. According to PMW, a 2006
Arabic language textbook used by 12th graders in PA schools includes the sentence: “…I will not cry during this wedding, as our Arabness does not want us to cry over the Shahids.” A similar message has been conveyed through a PA television video clip running for eight years depicting a shahid being greeted in Heaven by beautiful virgins.
Virgins of Paradise music video returns to PA TV
by Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook
A music video depicting a Shahid (Martyr for Allah) being greeted in Paradise by the Dark Eyed Maidens (Virgins) has returned to Palestinian Authority (PA) television. The return of this of Shahada (Death for Allah) promotion comes at a time the PA leadership may be interested in increasing the motivation of its fighters. The PA fears an Israeli ground invasion of the Gaza Strip in response to the continuous firing of rockets at Israeli cities.
The clip portrays a woman being shot in the back by Israeli soldiers.
She is immediately transported to Paradise, where she joins other Maidens wearing identical long white gowns, all joyously dancing, waiting to marry their Shahid.
The next scenes depict her male friend visiting her grave, after which he is also shot by Israeli soldiers.
His Shahada- Death for Allah is immediately rewarded, and he is transported to heaven, where all the “Maidens” — including his lover — turn to greet him.
This is one of the longest-running music videos on PA TV. It was broadcast incessantly for years, often several times a day during the PA terror war (2000-2005) and returned for a month in September 2006.
This recurring image of the Martyr being rewarded by receiving the Maidens was part of the multifaceted PA campaign glorifying and encouraging terror, and promoting suicide terror as idyllic Shahada (Martyrdom for Allah).
After an absence of more than a year, PA TV has been broadcasting this video clip regularly for the past month. It is possible that PA TV is attempting to increase the motivation for battle, and especially death in battle, among its men should a ground war develop in the Gaza Strip.
The belief that man is rewarded with beautiful women in Paradise is based on Islamic traditions in the Quran [Suras 42, 44, 52, 56, and others] and the Hadith (traditions attributed to Muhammad), and is expressed regularly in many parts of PA society.
The following 5 links show expressions of this reward:
1 – Mothers who celebrate terrorist sons’ deaths as weddings
Mother: “We do not encourage our sons to die. We encourage them to Shahada for the homeland, for Allah. We don’t say to the mothers of the shahids, ‘We have come to comfort you,’ but ‘We have come to bless you on the wedding of your son, on the Shahada of
your son. Congratulations to you on the Shahada…’ For us, the mourning is joyous. We give out drinks, we give out sweets. Praise to God – the mourning is a joyous occasion.” [PA TV, November 17, 2004.
2 – Woman says her planned suicide terror would have made her one of the Maidens who would marry a Martyr
Q. Had you succeeded in [your suicide] mission, what would have been your reward?
A. The reward was from Allah, in Paradise. The female Martyrdom-seeker becomes one of the Dark-Eyed Maidens, and she marries one of the Martyrs.
[ IBA news, Oct.
2004]
3 – Suicide terrorists who anticipate the Maidens as reward in farewell videos
Terrorist: “Angels of mercy, escort our souls to Heaven after we fulfill this duty of crushing the descendents of monkeys and pigs. Dear father and mother, blessings of honor and respect to you, while you escort me to the Maidens of Paradise as a Martyr.”
4 – Mother explaining that her son’s motivation to terror was his inability to find a bride so he chose to be a Martyr to marry the Maidens of Paradise
Mother: “He would always dream of Shahada, it was his first and last goal in life. I told him, ‘Dear, we all want to be shahids.’ He said, ‘In this entire world, I can’t think of anyone to marry.
I want to marry the Dark Eyed [Virgins or Maidens of Paradise].’ I said [that] if these are his thoughts, I wish him Shahada.”
[PA TV, January 21, 2003]
5 – PA religious leaders teach that the 72 Dark Eyed Virgins is reward of Martyr
We shouldn’t forget that Allah, praise him, in blessing the blood of the Martyr, He forgives him from the first gush of blood. And he sees his place in Paradise. He is shielded from the Great Shock and marries 72 Dark-Eyed Maidens (virgins).”
[PATV, program of Sheik Imad Hamato Nov. 3, 2006]
The PA grants Shahid (Martyr) status to all those killed in conflict including suicide bombers and other terrorists.
