This Is ALMOST Funny. Al-Qaida calls for holy war against Israel.

I thought they already had.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

They are pretty brave issuing their statements from under a rock somewhere in east afghanistan. if you were a muslim, why would you want to die for these tired bitter old guys (al-zawahiri and bin-laden)?

They closed the discos and cinemas down. Now there's nowhere to go to have a good time in Baluchistan.

It's a political move. Al-Qaeda is trying to prevent Hezbollah from getting all the prestige, popularity, and financing out of the Lebanon war. They want to claim it as one of theirs.

I thought they were dying for martyrdom and the promise of paradise & 72 virgins.

No, they want the whole hog. History isn't important to them just as being consistant isn't important to them. They support muslims in the Phillipines breaking off from the Democratic yet Catholic Phillipines but they urge people to fight jihad against Catholic people in East Timur who want freedom from the dictatorial (at least at the time) and undemocratic Indonesia.

It's 72? I thought it was 77. Either way, I'm sure those that were promised 77 and only receiving 72 would be pretty damn pissed, because that's 5 WHOLE virgins they're missing! That's a 7% reduction!
Pretty disgusting. How many virgins over the age of 12 are there?

I had a thought that maybe there's only 72 virgins total, so all the martyrs have to share. In which case there'd have to be revirginization.

Yes, I think that is the point. The Koran says that they will be forever "unblemished". As I've said before it does not specify what sex they will be even though it's clear that the same reward is not available to women.
