The feminization of suicide bombing

**Rebadow** · 11th-February-2007

Psychologist Clara Beyler analyzed press coverage and public reaction to suicide bombings and discovered that Â“female kamikazesÂ” are often depicted as Â“symbols of utter despair ... rather than the cold-blooded murderers of civilians.Â” If a suicide bombing is attributed to a female, the media is more likely to focus on Â“what made her do itÂ” as opposed to the death and destruction she has created. The stereotypical Â“weaker sexÂ” female bomber is much more likely than her male counterparts to be portrayed as Â“another victim of terrorismÂ” and, as such, may lend a measure of credibility to the terrorist agenda. In other words, if nurturing, typically nonviolent females are sacrificing their lives for a cause, perhaps the grievances of the terrorist organization are legitimate.

A very intresting articale Rob how ever I think that female sucide bombers as just as hateful and distructive as male sucide bombers.
As near as I can figure sucide bombers are for the most part motivated by regelouse hatred.
I could be worng and I could be right but I leave it up to who or whatever created us to determin the truth of the matter.

I think some are motivated by despair and most by hate, but I wonder what female suicide bombers get when they go to heaven?

Firstly, female suicide bombers are going to the other place. Secondly when they get there I hope the only thing they have to look forward to is daily intimacy with a pineapple.

The fact that females become suicide bombers shows that they are as fanatical as the male version.

Actually, they are more fanatical. Anti-terrorist squads all over the world have instructions to shoot female terrorists first, because they are the most dangerous.

70 male virgins?

**chevalier** · 19th-July-2007

Actually since most of these women are young they are probably virgins and they get to be one of the 70. But they are probably told that women are unclean and that killing othrs will asure them a place in heaven. The same promise was made to the crusaders.
