Gaza - Palestine won the top award in a Quran memorization competition held this year in Tunisia, the Palestinian Awkaf ministry announced yesterday.
It noted that the Gazan student Abdullah Marwan Al-Sheikh had won the top award for memorizing the holy Quran.
The ministry said that Palestine had won similar awards this year in contests organized in Egypt and Dubai.
The ministry this year organized a ceremony to celebrate the graduation of 376 students after memorizing the Quran and had thus graduated more than 2,000 students memorizing the holy book over the past few years.

And the fact the kid is being raised in a suicide-oriented society, he will most likely receive his 72 virgin prize after he blows up.
