The Palestinian militant group Hamas has sponsored a mass wedding ceremony for 226 couples in the West Bank.
The grooms, clutching copies of the Koran, stood opposite the brides in a stadium packed with 60,000 onlookers.
Organisers said the ceremony was an attempt to show a different side to Hamas, which has carried out numerous suicide bombings in Israel.
It was also a show of strength for the organisation, which is contesting Palestinian parliamentary elections.
"This is biggest Muslim wedding in the country, maybe even in the Arab world," local Hamas leader Yasser Mansour told news agency AP.
"This says that Hamas is a part of every aspect of Palestinian society. This is a message to the world - we are not terrorists," he said.
Bollocks!
Harakat al-Muqawamah al-Islamiyyah (Hamas) literally tranlates to Islamic Resistance Movement.
Hamas is listed as a terrorist group by the European Union, Canada, the United States, and Israel, as well as numerous human rights organizations, and its activities have been condemned by the United Nations Commission on Human Rights and by Human Rights Watch.
Hamas is notorious for using the tactic of suicide bombing against Israel, particularly against civilians in busy urban areas.
These include the Passover massacre in March 2002, in which 30 people were killed; the Patt junction massacre (19 dead); the Jerusalem bus 20 massacre in November 2002 (11 dead); the Jerusalem bus 2 massacre in August 2003 (23 dead); and many more.
