Part 2
When an individual is a volunteer, they are questioned about their motivation, and discouraged about becoming a martyr in order to assess their level of their resolve. [7] (Ibid) Recruits are told that once they commit to being a martyr, they cannot change their mind. A person from the supporting group is assigned to monitor the volunteer’s self-discipline, whether he is discreet among his friends, and scrutinizes his “piety in the mosque.” Sometimes, an imam will advocate a particularly passionate youth to become a martyr. During the week before the suicide mission, two “assistants” are delegated to be with the potential martyr all the time. Any signs of doubt or wavering are reported, so that a senior trainer can come to reinforce the person’s determination.[8] Hassan.
Preparation, which includes intensive spiritual exercises, prayers, and reciting the Koran, reinforces the person’s “conviction, which supports his certitude. It removes fear.” The focus is on “Paradise, on being in the presence of Allah, on meeting the Prophet Muhammad, on interceding for his loved ones so that they, too, can be saved from the agonies of Hell, on the houris, and on fighting the Israeli occupation and removing it from the Islamic trust that is Palestine.” [9] (Hassan, op.cit.)
Before leaving on the mission, the candidate prepares a written will, a video and in the past an audiocassette. At times, all three. The volunteer is photographed in front of the sponsoring terrorist organization’s banner and motto. The soon to be martyr, is seen reciting the Koran, posing with guns and bombs, and imploring his friends to emulate his example, while lauding the righteousness of jihad. [10] (Ibid.)
After the bomber succeeds in murdering Jews, the individual’s family and the sponsoring terrorist organization celebrate as if this were a wedding. Hundreds of guests arrive to extend their congratulations. Refreshments specified by the bomber are served. Frequently, the mother “will ululate in joy” to express her elation at the honor Allah has conferred on her family. [11] (Ibid; (Joseph Lelyveld, The New York Times Magazine (October 28, 2001).
