Progressive Jihadism - Women And Children As Suicide Bombers

Topics: Understanding Islam

Partisan Times informs us that Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades has delivered a message to any of us ignorant Americans that still believe Islam is trapped in the seventh century - they're actually putting together a cadre of 100 female suicide bombers who have expressed their desire to carry out suicide attacks against Israel.

According to the Palestinian female whacko who claims to be a spokeswoman for the Aksa Martyrs Brigades, the recently established secret military unit for female suicide bombers is made up of women from the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Jerusalem, and is now preparing to launch attacks against Israel in response to the "Israeli aggression and crimes against our people in the Gaza Strip."

Surprised women are in to the "suicide thingy"? Don't be - women suicide bombers aren't a new phenomenon, although Yasser Arafat is responsible for coining the term shahida - "previous to his speech [in January 2002], there was no feminized version of the masculine form of the Arab word for martyr."

And besides, what else would you expect from a society that literally worships death, so much so that the concept of suicide bombing, shahid - death for Allah, is drummed into the minds of even their children, such as in this 7 minute video from Palestinian Media Watch (also this video that presents famous child martyr Muhammad Al Dura calling to other children to follow him to Child-Martyr Heaven - Palestinians use kids as human shields) when an articulate 11 year-old Palestinian girl is asked what is better for the Palestinian people, peace and full rights, or shahada (death by suicide bombing) - and she responds with "Shahada - I will have my rights as a Shahid"!

As I've said previously on more than one occasion, the fundamental question in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (war) is whether or not the Palestinians can be saved, not from Israel, as many of them would have it, but from themselves. After all, how can a people that have adopted a culture that worships death, violence, and suicide bombings, actually create a sustainable and functional society?
