More Women Terrorists Found

This is proof that female involvement in terrorist activities is not isolated to a single woman in Palestine. However, the mention of the word “women” is almost accidental. In effect, the LA Times implies that a female can be a member of a terrorist group plotting to destroy U.S. targets, and yet they are not part of the criminal activities."

Not a big surprise (Score:0) by Anonymous User on Tuesday February 05, @02:21PM EST (#1) I don't see why this should be all that shocking. Women can adopt destructive ideologies just as easily as men can. Women have been active members of the Communist Party, the Nazis, and the Feminazis. So, I don't see why some of them wouldn't choose Islamic fundamentalism and martyrdom. Unfortunately it does make it harder to screen them out since now women will have to be profiled, too. Does anyone know what the Islamic religion says about female terrorist martyrs? According to popular Islamic mythology, are they supposed to go to heaven and be surrounded by hundreds of muscular male virgins?
