Salafi-Jihadis in Jordan Stage 'Martyrs' Weddings' to Attract Youth to Jihad
MEMRI.org - Inquiry & Analysis Series Report No. 926 ^ | February 8, 2013 | by L. Barkan

SNIPPET: "The forces fighting against Assad's regime in Syria include foreigners who have come to take part in the uprising alongside the Syrian rebels. Among them are members of Jordan's Salafi-jihadi movement, which, according to its senior leaders, has so far dispatched some 250 fighters to Syria.[1] As one means of encouraging Jordanian youths to join its ranks and adopt the ideology of jihad and martyrdom, the Salafi-jihadi movement stages "martyrs' weddings" for fighters killed in Syria, based on the Islamic belief that every martyr is rewarded with 72 black-eyed virgin brides in Paradise.

These "weddings" are not a new phenomenon."

SNIPPET: "Marwan Shehadeh, an expert on Islamists groups, told Al-Sharq that the purpose of the "martyrs' weddings" is to attract youths to the idea of jihad and of martyrdom, and encourage them to join the fighting on jihad fronts throughout the Islamic world."

SNIPPET: "Al-Tahawi: We Explain To The Youths Who Attend The Ceremonies That Those Who Die For Islam Marry The Black-Eyed Virgins"

Videos of these celebrations are also disseminated via the internet."

Black eyed women are a staple of horror film and literature. Been written about for centuries. Demons, succubus, the possessed...the list goes on. So it’s natural that muslims would embrace the idea of them as ‘brides’ in ‘paradise’.

I am seldom shocked at how 108 deg. out they are from every other culture that has ever walked the earth.

Tricky recruiters they are. Nowhere does it state a species ... could be sheep or goats!
