Muslim Women are Not Second Class Citizens
Just a few days ago Al-Qaida was using children as suicide bombers in Iraq (1) and today we read that two mentally disabled women (possibly unwitting suicide bombers) strapped with remote-control explosives killed at least 91 people in the deadliest day since the surge started last spring (2).
Leftists will point to the attack and say,"See the surge is not working!" completely ignoring the fact that the terrorists are quickly running out of male shahadist volunteers in a country filled with more than 14 million men. The surge is working my dear deluded liberal friend, but since that bodes well for George Bush, your brain clouds your eyes from seeing that clearly.
I would also like to answer all my Muslim readers who continually protest that women are not treated like cattle in Islam. I say that the terrorists' use of women as improvised explosive devices against their will or without their knowledge is proof enough of what they really think of women. Of course, the photo above explains it all.
But I expect some Muslim apologist to point out that the male driver is forced to sit in a hot, un-air-conditioned car while the females are given the choice seats in the cool, open air. Muslim Women are Not Second Class Citizens - Yeah, right.

Times of India, 27 Jan 2008, US claims Al-Qaida using children as Iraq suicide bombers
Al-Qaida is using children as suicide bombers in Iraq, with at least two attacks in the past week committed by 15-year-olds, a US military commander claimed on Sunday.
"We are not sure whether one of these children even knew he was being used to deliver a bomb," Rear Admiral Gregory Smith told a news conference in Baghdad.
One attack was carried out at a funeral ceremony near Tikrit, executed dictator Saddam Hussein's home town 180 km north of Baghdad and the other was at a school in the northern city of Mosul, Smith said.
He gave no details of the two bombings. Iraqi police said 17 people died in a January 21 suicide blast at the funeral ceremony near Tikrit for relatives of an Iraqi police colonel.

CNN, 2 Feb 2008, U.S.: 'Demonic' militants sent women to bomb markets in Iraq
Two mentally disabled women were strapped with explosives Friday and sent into busy Baghdad markets, where they were blown up by remote control, a top Iraqi government official said.
The bombs killed at least 98 people and wounded more than 200 at two popular pet markets on the holiest day of the week for Muslims, authorities said.
In both bombings, the attackers were mentally disabled women whose explosive belts were remotely detonated, Gen. Qasim Atta, spokesman for Baghdad's security plan, told state television.
Atta said the women were strapped with dynamite and ball bearings, citing members of the bomb squad. The explosives were detonated via cell phone, he said.
