The latest form of jihad: Jihad al-Ziwaj, or “Marriage-Jihad”
As Hamas asserts, “Marriage is the same as jihad.” “Gaza bride marries to raise ‘martyrs’ to Islamist cause,” from the 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.
