ISIS pens poem about 72 virgins to ignite base | New York Post:
How do Islamic extremists fire up the troops?
Poems about virgins, of course.
During a investigation into home-grown terrorists, the FBI monitored communication between two Boston Muslims, Tarek Mehanna and Ahmad Abousamra.
Mehanna would be charged with aiding al Qaeda and given 17 years in prison, Abousamra fled the US before arrest, and is now serving as chief propagandist for ISIS.
Abousamra posts beheading videos to the Internet, and promotes them on social media.
He’s one of the FBI’s most wanted.
One of the messages between Mehanna and Abousamra was a 2008 poem written by Mehanna, describing the afterlife for a holy warrior.
The ode, which includes the promise of 72 virgins with “round and firm chests,” was distributed online.
It still pops up to recruit Westerns to the life of jihad.
It reads:
“Make Martyrdom What You Seek”
"....You drink so much you almost end up falling
Into the flowing current, then you hear voices calling,
You turn and behold! The voices are singing
Coming from Maidens so fair and enchanting,
These are the Hoorees with round and firm chests
Pure untouched virgins, they’re better than the best,
Seventy-two in all, with large eyes of dark hue
Each one created especially for you,....."
