"Female Suicide Bombers: Dying for Equality?"
Submitted by anthony on Tue, 2006-12-05 01:45
Article here. Excerpt:
"What drives a woman to strap a suicide belt to her body and blow herself up among a crowd of people?"
"Aside from highlighting the differences in Israeli and Arab coverage of the phenomenon, he reminds us that the lives of female suicide terrorists are no less tragic than those of male suicide bombers, yet the media accords women more sympathy and treats them with "kid gloves."

Women are NOT blowing themselves up for feminist reasons
The title of that book is likely just a ploy on the part of the publishing house (who likely have not read a single word of the contents) who's one and only goal is to sell copies. Since women's 'equality' is accepted as the reason why women do anything that most people do not understand, the title serves as an effective tool to attract the willfully ignorant and sell more copies.
Still, I agree the media here in the West treats the issue incorrectly. Women are certainly not blowing themselves up to achieve equality in the middle east between men and women any more then men are blowing themselves up because they believe they will be able to live out pedophilic fantasies with young virgins in the after life.
