A girl strapped with explosives approaches an Iraqi army captain, who dies in the suicide blast. A woman posing as a mother-to-be to disguise a bulging bomb belt strikes a wedding procession as part of a coordinated attack that kills nearly three dozen people.

    It is their strategy because women are not suspected doing odd tasks like that.

      I'm not at all surprised. Read "Beacuse They Hate" by Brigitte Gabriel. It's a firsthand account of living under Islamic terrorism in Lebanon.

        It is the ONLY assured way to Paradise for a Muslim. To die killing the infidels. To a Sunni a Shiite is an infidel and visa versa. I guess these women want to go to Paradise. Also they are losing the men so the women need to take over.

            I thought women had more sense than that.

            This makes sense. They are not stupid people, they are just crazy. They are planning new ways to attack all the time.

              "Female Suicide Bomber Foiled in Baghdad-Alert guards gunned down a black-clad woman at a police recruiting station Tuesday, a would-be suicide bomber who then exploded before their eyes."

                "Female Suicide Bomber Kills 15 in Iraq-A female suicide bomber detonated an explosives belt Friday outside the offices of an anti-al-Qaida group that has joined forces with the U.S., killing at least 15 people, police said. It was Iraq's second suicide attack involving a woman in less than two weeks."

                  It's only a matter of time before they start sending in little chidren. What a violent mentality, to believe that the path to paradise is through murder.

                    In Palestine they teach the young kids how to hate Israelis and throw rocks at them and then they complain when the Israelis try to put a stop to it. By the time the kids are old enough to think they are already in too deep. I heard someone say that peace with Israel will only happen when Palestinian mothers love their children more than they hate Israel.

                      Too late. Hate and martyrdom are being taught early and there have been some instances.

                      Does the promise of 10,000 virgins have the same appeal for woman? My wife says it would be like crossing prom night with the movie Groundhog day the sane lousy experience day after day.

                      "Riyashi's husband had discovered that she was having an affair with a senior Hamas commander. Among conservative Palestinians, as in other parts of the Islamic world, an adulterous woman is often punished with death. Riyashi was given a second option: she could become a martyr. In a video statement released hours before her death, Riyashi, garbed in a militaristic uniform and holding a semiautomatic rifle, sounds tough. "I have always wished to knock at the door of heaven carrying skulls belonging to the sons of Zion," she says. But the pained expression on her chubby, homely face conveys considerably more ambivalence about the idea of annihilating herself to kill Israelis and restore her family's "honor.""

                        "In late March, a macabre music video appeared on a television show for Palestinian children. "Duha," 4, as pale as a porcelain doll, is sitting on a bed, watching her mom dress before leaving home. "Mommy, what are you carrying in your arms instead of me?" the girl sings. The next day, Duha gets the answer from the evening news. It turns out her mother was carrying explosives and had blown herself up, killing four Israelis."

                        Man, and I thought rap videos glorifying the "gangsta" lifestyle was bad for kids. Islamo-fascists take it to an entirely lower level.

                      "Terrorist recruiters often tell male martyrs that a bevy of 72 virgins awaits them in heaven. But some women suicide bombers believe that in paradise they will become queens, while others are told by recruiters that no matter how old or grotesque they may be in this life, they will become the fairest of the 72 virgins that await each jihad warrior."

                      "Witnessing women traditionally associated with domestic duties taking part in frontline militancy operations can have a shaming effect on the men, "impelling more of them to take part", she says."

                        Could be.

                        Being shamed by a woman is a powerful motivator for a slacker jihadist that has been raised in a very religiously repressive and male orientated society.

                      The country has been invaded, bombed and destroyed. Gone are houses, homes, schools, offices and markets. There are thousands of men who have lost their families, women who have lost their husbands, children who have lost their parents.

                      There is no drinking water, electricity and daily food supplies are scare or non existent. People are scared to come out for fear of being killed by sectarian violence or by US military.

                      It is irrelevant to argue how was it under Sadam. It was their country. There are lot of other African countries with more heinous conditions and genocide.

                      So, what have these people to live and look far except misery?

                      I hope the jerk who made the comment above remembers:

                      . Abu Ghraib

                      . Haditha

                      . the raping of a 14 year old girl, shooting her, her sister, and their parents.

                      Yes, US military is the problem. They are under control of the new NAZI in WH. He invaded, destroyed and occupied another country. The last leader to do that was HITLER.

                      Now, shut the hell up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                        Let's see...Paul Pot in Cambodia. Idi Amin, North Korea, North Vietnam, Serbia, whatever African mayhem, oh yeah...Saddam into Kuwait. It's a long list. Atrocities in war do happen, they weren't ordered by the US military. Individuals committed those crimes. You are an absolute idiot.

                        Really? So Mao with Tibet, Stalin with Eastern Europe, and Saddam with Kuwait all happened before WWII? I need to burn my history books.

                        It is amusing to read the posts by die hard war mongers complaining about everything with Iraq. I wonder if they read newspapers, watch TV except may be FOX.

                        You are the only one still occupying Iraq by force. All other partners in crime have left, Australia being lost. The new Australian PM commented while withdrawing their forces from Iraq and said "it is a shame our country was part of this illegal invasion and occupation. it is never late to right a wrong".

                        So, instead of complaining about female suicide bombers, WHY NOT YOU AND YOUR MILITARY JUST QUIT AND GET OUT?

                          No, I am not but just trying to make sense to senseless people here. Talk peace and not war & destruction.

                          After 5 years of occupation, if soldiers have to go out hiding in their tanks and humvees with air cover overhead, you should know that you are not welcome and wanted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                            You really do not deserve negs. The problem that I see with your analysis is that it assumes that Muslims in the ME think like Americans. They don't.

                          I am anti war but not anti society.

                          Just leave Iraq and let them manage their country. Don't worry about their school books. Your children here will not be asked to read it. Instead of complaining about how those children are brought up, why not leave their country and worry about yours.

                          Iraqis did not and will not come here and mess with your lives.

                            They, and all Muslims, will if they gain enough power. Islam is like Stalinism, bent on the enslavement of everyone else. The difference of course is that Lenin, Stalin, et al were somewhat rational. The Radical Muslims are not. They will kill you if they have the power, regardless of where you live. World Domination is their ultimate goal.

                          When I first saw the headline I missed the "suicide" part and thought the story was about Obama's friend Bernardine Dohrn. Oh well.
