Al Qaeda recruiter: Wives, let your husbands get some virgins
You know, the U.S. Army likes to try to convince parents that their sons and daughters are being grown-up and making adult decisions when they decide to become a soldier. From what I’ve been told by recruiters, parents are a huge influence on their children’s decision to join the military.
Apparently, in Afghanistan, that’s not the case. There, wives need to be convinced. The selling point? Lots o’ virgins.
Al-Qaida in Afghanistan needs electrical engineers, medical doctors, Islamic scholars and, in particular, understanding wives, announced the movement’s commander in a new audio message Thursday.
Mustafa Abu al-Yazeed, the self-proclaimed leader of the movement’s Afghan branch, gave a 45-minute recruitment speech in a tape entitled, “They’ve lied, now comes the combat,” that appeared on militant Islamist Web sites, and slammed Arab leaders for being traitors.
He urged scholars, doctors and electrical engineers to join the Mujahideen in their fight “because the combat needs all expertise and efforts.” Abu al-Yazeed also called on the parents to allow their sons to fight.
He also went out of his way to address Muslim wives and admonished them “not to be an obstacle between your husbands and paradise, because the virtuous woman who loves her husband desires her husband to escape hell and go to heaven.”
So, is the hell he’s referring to the marriage to the wife? It would seem so, because he then rolls out the money line…
For those who do succeed in becoming martyrs, he cited the familiar Quranic verses promising a reward of over 70 virgins in paradise.
So, U.S. Army soldiers joined to better themselves and do their part for their country. Al Qaeda members joined up for a chance to get lots of tail. Better yet - with their wives’ blessing. Sweet!






















I certainly hope that the US military will not be an “obstacle” between the mujahideen and their “desires to escape hell and go to heaven”. But rather that it continues to do its part and sends them quickly to their “reward of over 70 virgins in paradise”. This should also help the women escape the hell many of them have lived under since they were forced into maraige with a wanna-be shahid.
I do ave a question though, why doesn’t Mustafa Abu al-Yazeed go get his 72 virgins? I suppose he is just sacrificing himself so that there are enough virgins for eneryone else.
