Sexual desire drives youths to 'martyrdom'

The secret world
of suicide bombers

Religious devotion, sexual desire drive youths to 'martyrdom'




© 2001 WorldNetDaily.com

With reports from Israel that the United States, after its current campaign against Afthanistan's Taliban is concluded, plans to target Palestinian terrorist groups including Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad, a wider audience than ever may soon be hearing about the secret world of suicide bombers.

Although Americans find it difficult to understand what could induce Islamic militants – including the 19 hijackers who all willingly died in the Sept. 11 attacks – to so enthusiastically commit suicide while committing acts of terrorism, some reporters have managed to obtain passage into the secretive culture and shed light on how Islamic "martyrs" are created and nurtured.

November's edition of Whistleblower magazine – WorldNetDaily's popular monthly print publication – includes a shocking, in-depth story by reporter Jack Kelley, titled "The secret world of suicide bombers." Subtitled, "Religious devotion and sexual desire drive youths to 'martyrdom,'" it profiles the Hotari family as they prepare for a party to celebrate the killing of 21 Israelis earlier in the month by their son, a suicide bomber.

"Neighbors hang pictures on their trees of Saeed Hotari holding seven sticks of dynamite," writes Kelley, a reporter for USA Today. "They spray-paint graffiti reading '21 and counting' on their stone walls. And they arrange flowers in the shapes of a heart and a bomb to display on their front doors."

The boy's father, 54-year-old Hassan Hotari, reports Kelley, says he is "very happy and proud of what my son did and, frankly, am a bit jealous." Hotari's son was responsible for the June 1 terrorist bombing outside a disco in Tel Aviv – the worst such incident in four years. "I wish I had done it. My son has fulfilled the Prophet's (Mohammed's) wishes. He has become a hero! Tell me, what more could a father ask?"

Although Muslim organizations, both in the United States and internationally, have condemned the Sept. 11 terror attacks on New York and Washington, many have continued to support the terror bombings of civilians in Israel. In fact, fund-raising for Hamas – the organization claiming responsibility for most of the suicide terror attacks in Israel – is often carried out in the United States, sometimes with the help of supposedly "mainstream" Islamic organizations.

"The secret world of suicide bombers" paints a surreal picture of an entire culture that revolves around farming and harvesting youthful suicide terrorists:

Virgins? It's a reference to the ubiquitous promise to "holy martyrs" of "unlimited sex with 72 virgins in heaven." Explains Kelley: "The Koran, the sacred book of Islam, describes the women as 'beautiful like rubies, with complexions like diamonds and pearls.' In one of the passages of the Koran, it is said the martyrs and virgins shall 'delight themselves, lying on green cushions and beautiful carpets.' Since the time of Mohammed, martyrs have always been considered those willing to die defending Islam."

It's not just among Palestinians, but in other Arab nations as well, that school teachers, textbooks, religious leaders and even television programming routinely teach that killing the enemies of Islam – Jews in particular – will earn the killer a special place in heaven.

One Palestinian "Sesame Street"-style children's program called the "Children's Club" – complete with puppet shows, songs, Mickey Mouse and other characters – focused on inculcating intense hatred of Jews and a passion for engaging in and celebrating violence against them in a perpetual "jihad."

In one song on the "Children's Club," very young children are shown singing songs about wanting to become "suicide warriors" and to take up "a machine gun" to direct "violence, anger, anger, anger" against Israelis.

During the show, which features children aged 4-10, one young boy sings, "When I wander into Jerusalem, I will become a suicide bomber." Afterward, other children stand to call for "Jihad! Holy war to the end against the Zionist enemy."

In another segment, a boy who appears to be no more than 8 or 9 years old chants: "My patience has run out. All Arab existence cries for revenge" against the Jews in Israel.

That's why the missionary women are in Afghanistan (the ones that are being held hostage), to tell these people the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ, so that they could come out of their darkness and have a new life in Jesus Christ.

That's an uphill road my friend.

Like another road long ago.

You would think simple math would convince these Muslim youths of the folly of this nonsense. If there is roughly a 1:1 ratio between men and women, then where do these 72 "virgins" come from? And once these virgins are "deflowered" then where do the next batch come from? Is there some neverending supply of virgins in Muslim heaven.

Along the same vein as what you wrote:

Mohammed used the trick of a temporary truce (permitted in Islam) to make a treaty called the Hudaibiya Treaty with the Jewish Koraish tribe. But, in 628 C.E. at the Khaidar Oasis, Mohammed killed them. Arafat often claims that the Oslo Treaty is similar to the Hudaibiya Treaty which Mohammed violated with impunity when he was militarily stronger.

Yea, we can do business with these people.

To put it into a more understandable context - the people who follow this line of Islamic thinking are putting the person's existence on Earth as a kind of Purgatory. The more quickly you can exit and gain Bliss and Exstacy the better.

It's the perfect way to 'splain the kind of misery most of these people have to endure on a daily basis...abject poverty perpetuated by the lack of education and opportunity. Keep them forever poor, but promise them the unimagineable after death.

"The Force has a powerful effect on the weak-minded." There are SO many truths in the Star Wars series it boggles the mind.

I would extrapolate that to the capacity for good or evil that's present in mankind, in general. This is why the Judeo-Christian worldview makes so much sense - man's fall, his ability to use free will in order to accomplish good or evil and the redemption message offered by Christ.

However, if these accounts are true (of the brainwashing of the kids, etc.) how is this any different than the Hitler Jungen or Mao's regime? If the kids are taught to hate Jews and Christians so fiercely, how in the world can we ever expect them to accept a Western point of view?

Furthermore, why has our media been so complicit in not uncovering this apparently pervasive Arab viewpoint?

Is there some neverending supply of virgins in Muslim heaven.

When they get to "heaven", Allah gives them a choice of two styles of virgins:

Mimi

OR

Janet

Hence no problems with running out of virgins.

I can try to improve on that comment.

If they don't stop with the human bombs, they may just invite those nuclear bombs.

Is the Taliban's violence against women intended to skew this ratio, thus ensuring a large number of horny yet unfulfilled males?

I think this story tells us that instead of bombs, we should drop American porn in the Middle East. The recruiting pool would dry up pretty quick.

I don't think they'd pass as "virgins."

"Human capacity for evil"

It's isn't the human that's the problem. It's the spirit of the human that's the problem. Without the life of Jesus Christ as a reality in people's lives, people do have the capacity to do great evil.

My experience and my understanding of Scripture leads me to believe that the flesh--even all creation--has been polluted by the propensity to listen to lies and avoid--at least miss the mark of perfection to go our own way for shallow goals, shallow appetites, temporary feel goodies.

Concur.

I think we may be one of the most paridoxical generations ever.

I believe Islam will become more horrible before it is neutralized terminally. . . . only to be followed by something more horrible. . . .

But THAT will be followed by the Prince of Peace. . . the best of times and the worst of times. . . indeed, even the Bible says the world will undergo a time worse than any other time past or future. . . . followed by perfect Peace.

I suppose I should be honored as well as humbled to be alive now--humbled I am--but I'd usually just as soon trade any honor for the next/earliest elevator UP!

Your only hope over your flesh is to yield to your spitit. Of course, if your spirit is ruled by your flesh, you are in real trouble. When a person get's born again, he has the tools necessary to develop his spirit to have control over his flesh. It takes time and diligence. I do believe it was Paul who said, "I do what I don't want to do, but I don't do what I know I should do". If Paul had to gropple with this, I'm sure I will too - but Paul finished his race, and I plan to finish mine.
