Martyr's Paradise
Anonymous


A beautiful video describing the rewards and acclamations that await the Muslim martyr, in the words of Muslim clerics. It's hard to watch this video through and not be moved by the beautiful imagery they describe; which makes their implications all the more horrific.

       Watch it all the way through, and ask yourself, where do these images come from? Why these specific ones (virgin embraces, salt water becoming fresh, missiles from planes turning into kisses from angels, etc)? It is not hard to imagine any leader from any nation/religion using such imagery to inspire their army, to get them to die for the cause.

       Ultimately, we may laugh at their 'black eyed virgins' image, but have you noticed that Christian angels are almost always depicted as attractive young women? If I had to guess, I'd say it's the same reason Labatt's uses that image: hot young women sell (sorry feminists).
