this article in the NYT said about three times how if this woman was stopped she would become a martyr and she would be happy. Sounds like the same liberal garbage, we dont' dare stop them because they will become martyrs or maybe, heaven forbid, they will become - wait for it -inflamed. This woman sits in brussels, a western city calling for its destruction and the native people(the whites) like the good liberals that they are bend over backwards to show her how nice and kind they are - for which she hates them more.

does the NYT publish this kind of thing to scare me? I'm not scared. I'm disgusted.

Liberals are so confused. On the one hand, they tell us that very few muslims are "extremist." and that most don't support jihad and al quada. So we should not be hostile to them. Then they tell us that they all hate us and want jihad. Which is it then? The NYT should make up its mind

Odds are she kills maybe one or two other people not including herself. At least she'd shut up at that point. And there's a high probability that the people she killed were 'those' people that Salon half wants to see anyway. It's a win win

But then lazy fact free reporting is a long term attribute of BS

I find it very creepy when women try to break the glass ceiling in terrorism, but it happens over and over again.

I recall there was even a lesbian once who was claiming discrimination by the IRA, if you can imagine that. Yeah, they don't let kidnap anyone because I'm queer. It's so unjust.

BTW Fender and Electro, Irish-Americans donated lavishly to the IRA. That didn't stop Ronald Reagan and other Irish-Republicans (so to speak) from kissing Irish behinds during campaign season.

SO why are the Muslims being treated so differently from the Irish?

When will the oppression of female suicide-bombers-to-be end?

Maybe we can get a government grant to study the problem, and for m a "women's group" to post blog entries about it.

This mindset, exemplified by TCF's pseudoarticle, is why the liberal Western secular model for society is already circling the drain.

I'm not surprised. How many "Good German Fraus" wanted to have babies for Hitler in the 1940s.....Quite a few. And how many women are wives and girl friends of today's KKK and neo-nazi organizations? Again, quite a few.

Given this, it's not surprising to hear about women who have the same twisted mind-set as men who are members of Al Queda. Sad but true.

The glorification of someone who murders those just because they are of a certain race and creed? Lovely. Where is your sense of humanity, of decency, woman?

I doubt we're getting anything like the entire story there.

Yeah, I think the whole Islamic terror thing is awfully hyped- you know, World War 3, my ass- but still, there's no need to encourage our adversaries by printing their press releases, just because they've come up with a "feminist empowerment" angle. They're dangerous, homicidally violent people.

Let's see if I can summarize this: TCF notes a moderately interesting Times story and makes an ironic joke about the jihad glass ceiling. Trolls instantly respond with "OMG feminists want more women in jihad they are so dum lol" Do you realize how retarded you look when you get snarky without even having bothered to read what you're responding to?

It's funny: you complain about Broadsheet being full of predictable, narrow-minded garbage, yet you continue to post predictable narrow-minded garbage on every single fucking update. What is your motivation? Do you really think it's clever to point out for the hundredth time that feminists are hairy man-hating lesbians or that liberals love Islamic extremism? Or are you so utterly retarded that you actually believe these things? Why is it that Broadsheet is alone among Salon sections in the sheer volume of gutter-dwelling trash it draws to its comments page?

Look, I realize you're probably very disgruntled individuals for whom this is the only release from a dead-end monotonous job and perhaps even less satisfying home life. if you're carrying a chip on your shoulder against feminism or women in general, start a freaking blog already. Don't post your prepackaged one-liners here when they have no relevance and when you can't even be bothered to read what you're responding to. Please understand that any amount of ridicule you're able to heap on Broadsheet pales in comparison to the amount that you expose yourself to. You're not clever, you're not funny, and I really feel sorry for all of you.

Anyone who sets out to murder white people, westerners, men and/or Jews is a hero or heroine as it were. Huzzah ! Huzzah ! I ululate ferociously at you!

PS, does this suicide belt make my ass look fat?

Hi Tracy - that Times article was very interesting for its lack of a POV - the Times couldn't decide if this woman was a hero or just another angry welfare mooch biting the hand that feeds her.

Regardless, the term glass ceiling seems incorrect in this context. Proscribed religious discrimination against woman is an explicit ceiling - an actual ceiling, if you will. The glass ceiling is frustrating because it's implicit - invisible to those unaware, and kept in place by secret and nefarious forces to make sure those uninvited keep their place...

In fact, the article seemed damn near alarmist about her -- quoting others about how dangerous she is, showing that she's very slick at pretending to be a helpless, hapless oppressed Muslim woman when necessary to save her life or escape charges or imprisonment.

This woman is a very smart operator who can navigate two sets of cultural codes, a very convincing and sympathetic actor when necessary. You never know what her real agenda is, when she is lying.

But, the West's laws protect speech acts (in Europe less so than in the US), and thus we must allow her to speak, until it crosses into incitement.
