Al Qaeda Tells Women to Be Suicide Bombers

Excerpt:
I was just about to shut my computer down when I realized that there are two pieces of breaking news that I have to share with you.
First, according to ABC journalist Mark Schone, "Zawahiri's Wife Releases Statement, Tells Women They Can Be Suicide Bombers."
What's this? The twisted triumph of feminism, Islamist-style? Why is Zawahiri allowing one of his four (or more) wives to take such an active public role?
Omaima Hassan first tells women that their primary role is that of bearing and breeding a jihadic fighter's sons. She counsels women to support jihad by keeping the warrior's secrets and his home, and by wearing hijab. But then, in an unconfirmed report, she goes further.
"Hassan also suggests that women can become suicide bombers, which she refers to as 'martyrdom missions.'"
