PA Schoolbook: Shahada death is a wedding

“Oh my Homeland, I won’t cry during this wedding [i.e. funeral of Martyr], as our Arabness does not want us to cry over the Shahids (Martyrs)."
[From poem by Al-Mutawakil Taha, Head of the Palestinian Writers' Union, former PA deputy minister]
This schoolbook was published in 2007 and is still in use in the PA today (2009).
