Fornicating jihadis

By TigerHawk at 6/10/2006 12:34:00 PM

These al Qaeda dirtbags crack me up. Prudes by day, pleasure gods by night. From a photo caption in today's Yahoo! Iraq slideshow:

Rugs and other household items from the last safe house of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi are visible amidst rubble in Hibhib, Iraq June 8, 2006. Zarqawi was accompanied by women who wore skimpy night clothing, and read magazines on current affairs and militant propaganda, an inspection of the house he was killed in showed on Saturday.

Not "woman," but women. In "skimpy night clothing." Faux leopard skin lingerie, for example.

He was practicing for the 72 virgins.

He had two wives and Arab women spend lots of time and money looking glamorous behind closed doors and under their portajails.

There are also reports that his wives were actively involved as couriers of information.

Being a martyr in jihad is the one basic loophole for sin-judgement in much of Islam. The average Abdul on the street has to obey the rules.

I wonder if this encourages those who know they are great sinners to adopt jihad?

AVI, I have oft wondered the same thing. A cynical part of me suspect thats loophole was left in for such a reason.

Of COURSE! This is the only guaranteed way to salvation, and trumps anything else.

You will recall the 9/11 gang spent their last evening enjoying lap dances.
