Muslim suicide bombers in Britain are set to begin a three-day strike next
Monday in a dispute over the number of virgins they are entitled to in the
afterlife.
Emergency talks with Al Qaeda have so far failed to produce an agreement.
The unrest began last Tuesday when Al Qaeda announced that the number of
virgins a suicide bomber would receive after his death will be cut by 25%
this April from 72 to only 60.
The rationale for the cut was the increase in recent years of the number of
suicide bombings and a subsequent shortage of virgins in the afterlife.
The suicide bombers' union, the British Organization of Occupational Martyrs
(B.O.O.M.) responded with a statement that --
this was unacceptable to its members and immediately balloted for strike
action.
General Secretary Abdullah Amir told the press,
"Our members are literally working themselves to death in the cause of
Jihad. We don't ask for much in return but to be treated like this is like a
kick in the teeth".
Speaking from his shed in Tipton in the West Midlands in which he currently
resides, Al Qaeda chief executive Osama bin Laden explained,
"We sympathize with our workers' concerns but Al Qaeda is simply not in a
position to meet their demands. They are simply not accepting the realities
of modern-day Jihad in a competitive marketplace. Thanks to Western
depravity, there is now a chronic shortage of virgins in the afterlife. It's
a straight choice between reducing expenditure and laying people off. I
don't like cutting wages but I'd hate to have to tell 3000 of my staff that
they won't be able to blow themselves up."
Spokespersons for the union in
Newcastle, Middlesbrough, Essex, Fife and
Australia stated that they would be unaffected as there are no virgins in
these areas anyway.
Apparently the drop in the number of suicide bombings has been largely put
down to the emergence of the Scottish singing star, Susan Boyle. Now that
Muslims know what a virgin looks like, they are not so keen on going to paradise.
