A very backward mentality, these people.

I agree...and that was my exact thought when I read this part of the article:

According to the Koran, male martyrs are welcomed to Paradise by 72 beautiful virgins. Ayat, as with many of the women she is incarcerated with, believes that a woman martyr "will be the chief of the 72 virgins, the fairest of the fair".

Now....let me get this straight....a male martyr gets 72 virgins....a female martyr gets to be one of those virgins? So their "paradise" is to be subjected to the fanatsy whims of an Islamic male? Doesn't strike me as that different from their life here on earth...and a twisted mentality, to boot.
