The Palestinian Authority (PA) continues to teach its youth to honor mass murderers, now adding an education program in honor of female suicide bomber Wafa Idris.
Idris became the PA’s first female suicide terrorist in January 2002. At the time, the Union of Palestinian Women presented Idris as a role model for Arab feminists.
Since then, the PA has organized a parade for young girls in her honor and named summer camps for children, university courses, and Fatah programs after her. A concert honoring Idris was rebroadcast several times on PA TV.
Most recently, last week, a new PA initiative was launched bearing the female murderer’s name. A course, called the "Shahida (Martyr for Allah) Wafa Idris Course for Fatah Women Cadres,” aimed at educating Arab women to follow in Idris’ footsteps.
Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) reports that it was announced by the PA that the “Public Action Commission, in the Political and National Guidance Section, of the General Security Forces” held a graduation ceremony for the Wafa Idris course. It was organized by the Commission in cooperation with the General Union of Women and the Public Relations Department in the Jenin District.
It was reported in the Al-Ayam PA daily on July 4th that, "The graduation ceremony for the course of 46 women was organized in the District's hall in the presence of Abd Al-Razeq Abu Al-Hayjaa, the Deputy Governor, Mahdi al-Ahmad, the Director General of the Ministry of the Interior for the district, Ata Abu Armila, Secretary of the Fatah movement in the area, and Hasan al-Aaraj, from the Administration of the Interior...The Ceremony ended with the distribution of diplomas to the female graduates, and diplomas and awards of appreciation to the mothers of Shahids (Martyrs for Allah)."
The Al-Quds Open University also runs a course in “democracy and human rights” named for Idris.
In 2003, a summer camp for girls in Kalkilya was named after Idris. The camp was funded by UNICEF.
A concert in honor of Idris has been aired repeatedly on PA TV. The following are lyrics sung in honor of Idris at the concert: Click here to view
My sister Wafa, My sister Wafa Oh the heartbeat of pride Oh blossom who was on the Earth and is now in heaven Oh blossom who was on the Earth and is now in heaven My sister, Wafa Allah Akbar! Oh Palestine of the Arabs Allah Akbar, Oh Wafa! But you chose Shahada In death you have brought life to our will But you chose Shahada In death you have brought life to our will [originally aired on PATV, July 24, 2003]
Marches for young girls were organized by the PA and the Fatah movement, whose head, Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) currently serves as the chairman of the PA.
The text on the poster (pictured above) reads: "The Fatah Movement... eulogizes with great pride the heroic Shahida Wafa Idris."

And we give the PA money, right?
What are they running out of mindless young boys to strap bombs on?
Is this the woman who blew herself up because her husband caught her having an affair and hubby and boyfriend decided it was either this or honor killing?
This is sick. No other way to describe it. Sick. Sick sick sick sick sick. Truly only a diseased mind and a diseased society could come up with something like this.
Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Time for them to die for Allah yet?

Men that blow themselves up, are promised 72 virgins in Paradise...I wonder what she gets??
72 Cucumbers?
Oh you naughty thing....Oh behave!!!!
72 Cucumbers?
My advice to Ariel Sharon: Announce to the slammite world that they have 30 days in which to find a place to put the palestinians", no less than 500 miles from Israel, and that after the 30 days expires, any of them found living within an unsafe distance from Israel will be killed.
Welcome to FR.
Your advice is 'pushing it' about as far as I think FR is willing to host. Just a tip.
No, this is the one who was divorced because she couldn't have children, and decided to blow herself up in order to prove that she wasn't "worthless." She was a Red Crescent worker, and sneaked in to Jerusalem on an ambulance.
I agree with your sentiments, Joe.
wtf... No wonder the PA is so screwed up. You should idolize people who do good things not someone who wastes there whole life.
Thanks. What a twisted way to look at the world, not to mention how to treat women.
Red crescent, as the arab equivalent of Red Cross, ought to have its legal status denied, because Geneva conventions prohibit use of Red Cross equipment or personnel for carrying out offensive military operations, and even though terrorism, essentially as assymetrical warfare, it is military operations that homicide bombtrix did by immolating herself and killing innocents.
