A Wahhabi religious cleric in Saudi Arabia, Muhammed al-Arifi, who is very influential in Jihadi circles, has recently issued a fatwa (religious edict) that permits all Jihadist militants in Syria to engage in short-lived marriages with Syrian women that each lasts for a few hours in order to satisfy their sexual desires and boost their determination in killing Syrians. He called the marriage as 'intercourse marriage'. It requires that the Syrian female be at least 14 years old, widowed, or divorced.Is this the Western-promoted "freedom and democracy" that Syrians want?Al-Arifi has videos on YouTube of him advocating the killing of infidels or nonbelievers by smashing their skulls and severing their limbs ( youtu.be/cQvkEzH4SQo ) and the beating of women ( youtu.be/nhAYU_XN6DE ).Source: Lebanese al-Jadeed TVAnother source: www.presstv.ir/detail/2012/12/31/280993/militants-can-marry- UPDATE:News are surfacing that Arifi denied making the fatwa.
