In a demand for sexual equality, Islamic women extremists are insisting that al-Qaeda gives them the right to become suicide bombers and terrorists.
Many women have responded with a mixture of anger and dismay to al-Qaeda No. 2 leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri’s comments that the terrorist group does not allow women, ignoring the fact that women in the terror network’s Iraq branch have carried out or attempted at least 20 suicide bombings since 2003.
He stated that a woman’s role, is limited to caring for the homes and children of al-Qaeda fighters.
A’eeda Dahsheh is a Palestinian mother of four in Lebanon who said she supports al-Zawahiri and has chosen to raise children at home as her form of jihad. However, she said, she also supports any woman who chooses instead to take part in terror attacks.
Another woman signed a more than 2,000-word essay of protest online as Rabeebat al-Silah, Arabic for “Companion of Weapons.”
“How many times have I wished I were a man … When Sheikh Ayman al-Zawahiri said there are no women in al-Qaeda, he saddened and hurt me,” she said she listened to the speech 10 times. “I felt that my heart was about to explode in my chest…I am powerless.”
A magazine for women who want to become fighters has even appeared online and carries articles on terrorist training camps for the fairer sex. I tried to find this online mag, Al-Khansaa but, it seems that it may have been removed.
