The latest form of jihad: Jihad al-Ziwaj, or "Marriage-Jihad"

As Hamas asserts, "[1] Marriage is the same as jihad." "Gaza bride marries to raise 'martyrs' to Islamist cause," from the [2] Times of India, January 24 :

GAZA CITY: There was no party, no celebrations when 22-year-old Aida al-Qaddumi finally got married this week.

There were no regrets either -- she said she was marrying to raise "fighters" and asked only that she might die as a "martyr" in Israel.

Three weeks of a deadly Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip forced postponement of the January 7 wedding, but it did not alter her intentions[...]

The Shujaiya quarter where she lives is a Hamas stronghold which came under heavy fire from Israelis troops. Dozens of people -- many of them civilians -- were killed and dozens of houses destroyed.
