The Dead End Kids

Israel caught a teenage boy, Husam Abu, trying to cross a checkpoint clad in an explosive suit, the Jerusalem Post reports:

"He was fully aware of what he was to do and told us he received NIS 100 and was instructed to blow himself up near soldiers," ....

"Blowing myself up is the only chance I've got to have sex with 72 virgins in the Garden of Eden," Abdu said his handlers had told him.

The boy's age is in some question. Early reports said he was as young as 8, but the Post says he's 14, and Maariv reports "his identity card indicates that he has already celebrated his 16th birthday." He may also be mildly retarded; Britain's Press Association quotes brother Hosni: "He doesn't know anything, and he has the intelligence of a 12 year old."

I am still waiting for a Zarqawi type of apology accusing the boy of being an "agent". But then again, Islamists are killing Muslims in Iraq, Bangladesh, Pakistan, S. Arabia etc., I just wanted to stress this again in face of Zarqawi's spin.

May these sick b@stards rot in hell.

[MineralMan]

That's horrible, but please use the actual title of the story as it appears at the link. Not only will it prevent duplicates, but it will avoid typos, like "retarted."

[indcons]

Is this a flashback? Thy have done this kinda thing before (using retarded boysnd men for homicide bombings).

[indcons]

In addition to the depravity, is there something else here? Could recruiting be slowing?

[teenyelliott]

Sorry for the typo....

Actuality: if you going to post an article dated March 25, 2004, please be courteous enough to indicate as much. Additionally, as MineralMan pointed out, don't change the heading.

Alouette: sorry for the ping. This is old news; the poster did not indicate as much. That's the reason I pinged you.

72 virgins may sound like a lot, but we are talking eternity here.

[ScaniaBoy]

Th[e]y have done this kinda thing before

Quite right. It is a truly disgusting story, BUT it occurred in 2004. Go to the original link and you will see that the article was written by James Taranto and published in WSJ March 25, 2004.

I don't know why this article was posted today, without stating that it was old news.

[ScaniaBoy]

You spotted it!

And beat me to it!

[MineralMan]

Ah, heck. I didn't notice that it was a year and a half old. Sheesh! There's plenty of news out there. No need to post old stories as news, IMO. Maybe the moderator will demote this from news.

[indcons]

Yep....realized it later. Have complained to Admin Moderator too. Guess "Actuality" is still learning FR and net etiquette.

You live and you learn.

[indcons]

I see you are in Sweden. Beautiful country and nice people......have been there a few times on business. I used to visit Gothenborg.

"Blowing myself up is the only chance I've got to have sex with 72 virgins in the Garden of Eden," Abdu said his handlers had told him.



Even if this were to be true, I don't think it is such a good deal to be blowing oneself up for.

First of all they don't say how good looking they are. Isn't that important? What if they are virgins because they are real beasts and nobody wanted to touch them anyway.

Second, what's so great about having sex with 72 females (we are sure they are females right?) who have no idea what great sex is because they never had any?

I mean if I am blowing myself up, I think I would want sexual experts who really really know what they are doing!

And what about after that? I had sex 72 times in the last few months. So you have a season of sex with virgins, after which they are no longer virgins. Death is a long time. Then what?

[msnimje]

This is not a new or rare thing. Their favorite "martyrs" seem to be Down's Syndrome kids.

72 virgins may sound like a lot, but we are talking eternity here.

You forget that every nine months a new virgin will be born and its like a never ending cycle. The only problem is if the muslim gets too greedy he could interupt his supply chain and there won't be any more virgins. Also you notice that it doesn't say female virgins. Sick Bastards.
