Hamas MP: Jihad and Martyrdom are Obligatory for Women

A little more insight into the insane world of Hamas and Jihad. The following are excerpts from an interview with Dr. Yunis Al-Astal, a Palestinian MP representing Hamas, which aired on Al-Rafidein TV on June 17, 2007; courtesy of MEMRI ;

Yunis Al-Astal: "The most exalted form of jihad is fighting for the sake of Allah, which means sacrificing one's soul by fighting the enemies head-on, even if it leads to martyrdom. Martyrdom means life next to Allah."

"When jihad becomes an individual duty, it applies to women too, because women do not differ from men when it comes to individual duties."

When the next pregnant woman is stopped an Israeli checkpoint you will now know why.

"In the second Al-Aqsa Intifada, females martyrdom-seekers emerged. These are young women, in the prime of their life, at a time when girls like these think only about jewelry and preparing for marriage. Nevertheless, they went to their martyrdom, advancing head-on with a great fighting spirit. This Intifada of ours has recorded more than 15 exemplary cases of girls who were martyred for the sake of Allah. But not before making the Jews - the brothers of apes and pigs - taste the bitterness of death, and not before avenging the blood of the martyrs, the wounded, the bereaved, the prisoners, the displaced, those whose homes were destroyed, those whose lands were bulldozed, and all those who were affected by the earthquake of the sons of Zion."

Will any international organizations condemn these brutally racial remarks? Will any British organizations boycott the Palestinians for issuing such statements?

"The most important message is that our enemies should know that there is no place for them on the land of Palestine. Each and every boy and man, and each and every girl and woman, is a potential martyrdom-seeker. The enemy should know that we are prepared to wear explosive belts, and to throw ourselves in the midst of the enemy, in order to make them taste the evil consequences of their deeds. They should know that they have no other choice - either they leave or they will die, even if it takes a long time."

"The message of the female martyrdom-seekers to the enemies is that they should go back to where they came from, or else our jihad will continue until this land regains its holiness - from the [Mediterranean] Sea to the [Jordan] River."

I guess the land for peace deal is off the table.
