Raise Children for Jihad, Hamas Lawmaker Tells Palestinian Mothers

"Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - A newly elected Hamas legislator is encouraging Palestinian mothers to prepare their children for jihad (holy war).

Known as the "mother of martyrs," Farhat recently said there are no innocent Israeli civilians and therefore there is no prohibition against killing them.

Farhat's son Muhammad was the first to carry out a terror attack when he infiltrated the Gaza Strip settlement of Atzmona in March 2002.

Muhammad killed five Israeli teenagers and wounded 20 others when he opened fire with an automatic weapon and threw grenades before Israeli soldiers killed him.

Farhat said goodbye to Muhammed in a homemade video and later said she wished she had 100 sons to send as "martyrs." Nidal, her oldest son, was killed in 2003 while preparing an attack; and Rawad was killed in an Israeli targeted strike in 2005.

Another son, 32-year-old Wisam, spent 10 years in an Israeli prison and was recently released."


The Suicide Bombers Among Us makes the following observation:

"The mere contemplation of a suicide bomber’s state of mind is deeply unsettling, even without considering its practical consequences. I have met a would-be suicide bomber who had not yet had the chance to put his thanatological daydream into practice. What could possibly have produced as embittered a mentality as his—what experience of life, what thoughts, what doctrines? What fathomless depths of self-pity led him to the conclusion that only by killing himself and others could he give a noble and transcendent meaning to his existence?"

Motherhood.
The term 'mother' has always been capable of eliciting profound reactions.
It has been said: The formative period for building character for eternity is in the nursery. The mother is queen of that realm and sways a scepter more potent than that of kings or priests.

There exists no protocol, no standard of practice, no training for this demanding role. We are left to parent similarly to our own parents—or more often than not- in reaction to them.

However-Women and "mothers" frequently functioned as a vehicle for the moral welfare of the population, encouraging a "harmonious" society. Nearly all cultures tend to celebrate women's 'natural' mothering and nurturing instincts.

And along comes Farhat - encouraging A-rab mothers to prepare their children for jihad.

One thing is clear:
We teach by example. The question is,- What are we an example of?



The real religion of the world comes from women much more than from men - from mothers most of all, who carry the key of our souls in their bosoms. -Oliver Wendell Holmes-
