Palestinian Official: Women Must Martyr Themselves
Pali Terrorist Leaders: “Now we know you are running away from us in droves, because you’re afraid we will kill you for now particular reason, but you still need to blow yourself up in the midst of innocent Israeli civilians, even though they are helping you and giving you refuge.
Is there no end to the pail’s ability to hate?
News stories of female suicide bombers – young women in the prime of life, sometimes pregnant or with their children – blowing up themselves and dozens of innocent bystanders with explosive belts, have shocked the world in recent months.
It’s well known that young Muslim men are taught they will be rewarded with 72 virgins in the afterlife. But what is the appeal of martyrdom to women?
A Palestinian member of parliament representing Hamas explained the answer on Al-Rafidein TV last Sunday.
Here, translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, or MEMRI, are excerpts of what Al-Astal said about Muslim women’s “duty” to engage in violent jihad.
Yunis Al-Astal: “The most exalted form of jihad is fighting for the sake of Allah, which means sacrificing one’s soul by fighting the enemies head-on, even if it leads to martyrdom. Martyrdom means life next to Allah.
“… When jihad becomes an individual duty, it applies to women too, because women do not differ from men when it comes to individual duties. …”
Interviewer: “What are the purposes behind women’s participation in the jihad of conquest and invasions?”
Yunis Al-Astal: “I have mentioned some of these purposes. [Women] prepare food, they bring water, they tend to the wounded and convey them from the battlefield, they protect the [soldiers’] possessions, and so on. But in many cases, women participated in combat, especially if the Islamic army was weakening, and you could see that the enemy was about to gain the upper hand. In such cases, a woman would draw out her sword, or pull out a pole from her tent, and would resist to the best of her ability.
“… Let’s take another example. Safiyya, the aunt of the Prophet Muhammad, used a pole to kill a Jew in the Battle of the Trench. Likewise, in the Battle of Hunayn, Umm Sulaym had a dagger, and when asked about it, she said: ‘If an enemy of Allah comes near me, I shall stab him with this dagger.’ History has recorded, in shining letters, the fact that Al-Khansaa sacrificed her four children at the battle of Al-Qadisiyya. She inflamed their emotions and she herself incited them to fight until they attained their martyrdom, and then she thanked Allah for honoring her with the killing of them all.”

Muslim hatred toward God’s chosen runs deeper than most of us could ever imagine. What idiot decided that Islam should be called ‘the religion of peace’?

This is a little off subject. But, I have an important message for you about Revelation. The message was received from God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost in the Spring of 2006. The message is this: In the morning I go to heaven. In the afternoon I live my life. In the evening I die, death. Now what does this mean? God is telling you the meaning of First is Last and Last is First as it is written in Revelation. In other words Birth is Last and Last is Birth. Don’t think from point A to point B. Think more of a continuous circle of life. Birth, Life, Death, Birth. Birth in Heaven is Last. God also talked about Judgment Day. Before Birth is Judgment. Just as Birth is painfull on Earth it is also painfull in Heaven. Since this is a recent message delivered to you by a possible Angel of God it confirms what is written in Revelation. What is written about First is Last has not been tampered with. This is not a jest, this is straight from God. This is a possible warning from God that things are coming down. Pass this message along like a chain letter, tell two other people. Melanie Stephan One more thing, I kind of think that Islam seems to be closer to Satan’s thinking than to what Jesus had to say.

We read in John 3 that when Jesus was teaching Nicodemus, He told him that he must be “born again”. Nicodemus didn’t understand that Jesus was talking about Spiritual rebirth; becoming like a child in our trust of God the Father, much like a child trust his/her parents.
In 1 Peter 1:23 we read “For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.”
Trust in the Jesus. Read God’s Word. Be “Born Again”. Become like a child to our Father God and trust in Him.
