Hamas sponsored a mass wedding on Wednesday night for '450 couples.'
Hamas dignitaries including Mahmud Zahar, one of the militant group's top leaders, were on hand to congratulate 450 grooms who took part in the carefully stage-managed event.
"We are saying to the world and to America that you cannot deny us joy and happiness," Zahar told the men, all of whom were dressed in identical black suits and hailed from the nearby Jabalia refugee camp.
Each groom received a present of 500 dollars from Hamas, which said its workers had also contributed five percent of their monthly salaries to add to the wedding gift.
The 450 brides shared none of the glamour, taking seats among the audience of around 1,000 party guests: most couples had already taken part in religious ceremonies elsewhere, with more marriages planned for the next few days.
"We are presenting this wedding as a gift to our people who stood firm in the face of the siege and the war," local Hamas strongman Ibrahim Salaf said in a speech.
Now I have raw video of the event, and I want you to pay close attention to the 'brides' - especially as they walk in with the 'grooms' around the 4:00 mark. There is no way that any of these little girls - half the heights of their husbands - is more than 10 years old.
Let's go to the videotape.

A sorry state of affairs.
I would not call it a "code of morality", but rather a set of regulations designed to allow Muslim men to live together with a minimum amount of killing each other (killing infidels is OK).
What most people don't understand, those who have not critically read the Quran, the Hadiths, and the Sirat, is that the Islamic community (the Ummah) is an army. It is an army with the mission of subjugating the rest of the world under Islam.
Only a minority are engaged in actual fighting. Then again, in the US military, only a small minority is engaged in actual fighting, with the rest having the job of supplying, transporting, feeding, and otherwise looking after the needs of the actual fighters.
In Islam, it is similar. Each and EVERY Muslim man has the DUTY of either engaging in Jihad, or in supporting those who are engaged in active Jihad. And Jihad is not just blowing people up. Jihad includes daily acts of intimidation against infidels, making infidels comply with Islamic demands and resisting any attempt to assimulate Muslims into the infidel culture.
In this system, girls have the duties of (1) keeping men sexually satisfied so they'll be better fighters, and (2) giving birth to fighters.
Is really what muhammod (sp), the inventer of this cult, wanted?
Mad Mo was a desert bandit, a sand pirate. Yes, it’s what he wanted. I gotta go, but I’ll explain further later.

After her death, he migrated to Medina and started his career as the caravan-robbing, town-pillaging leader of the Muslim gang, and he was able to indulge in acquiring a harem of younger women.
Never knew this, am fascinated and want to thank you for posting this brief history. So big mo was married to a rich woman 15 yrs his senior for a long time and when she passed, he lived it up. Makes sense. He must have had a lot of rage if she was in control of his life for 25 yrs.
A side effect of this was that it gave power to older women who had inherited assets. They could acquire boy-toys from among the poor to keep them company. Like Mo.
Mohammad changed all this with the Muslim custom of strict seclusion of the women from any contact with non-related males, thus giving the husband a better confidence that his children were his. The price, though, was that women became essentially slaves.

They’re not marrying those girls. The girls are just part of the wedding train.
