Touching Mother-Son Conversation

From AP/Haaretz:

"He used to ask me, 'What are you going to do if I become a martyr? Are you going to be happy, to celebrate?'" said Abu Zeid's mother, Ruqaia.

"I used to tell him, 'Don't say that. I want you to grow up and to get married.'"

"But he would say, 'I don't want to get married. I want a palace in heaven and to marry the 70 virgins that are promised to me by the Koran.'"
