Mass Hamas wedding


Hamas Recruits Army of Husbands -Taghreed El-Khodary

Hamas leaders have turned to matchmaking, bringing together single fighters and widows, and providing dowries and wedding parties for the many who cannot afford such trappings of matrimony.

"Marriage is the same as jihad," or holy war, said Muhammad Yousef, one recently married member of the Qassam Brigades. "With marriage, you are producing another generation that believes in resistance."

The night before the mass wedding party, Yousef said, his wife shared with him her ultimate wish: to carry out a joint suicide attack against Israel.

Another example of why peace is so illusory.
