For Some Uglies, Beauty Is Do or Die

In Israel, a homely Palestinian girl experienced grave trauma. Jewish doctors saved her life.

A few months after a full recovery, this Palestinian girl intended to destroy the Israeli hospital in which she recovered. She wanted to kill all the Jewish doctors who helped her heal.

Unable to detonate herself in a botched suicide bombing, a reporter asked an important question:
Since Muslim men are rewarded for martyring themselves (as shahids) by having sex with seventy-two virgins in heaven, what reward is there for her as a woman to martyr herself?

She answered with certainty: I will be one of the seventy-two virgins! Because this girl was no beauty in this life, being beautiful is her gift in the afterlife.

All she wants is to be sexually attractive to men. To be lusted over and fought for by men. To create a legacy by having children with a man who desires her.

She can only fulfill this fantasy in a deal with death. Life dealt her cards with a losing hand.
