| Al-Qaeda starts up women's magazine | |||
| 2004-08-25 | |||
Radical Islamists have launched a new magazine publication on the internet especially for women. The aim of the magazine is to show women how to reconcile the apparent contradiction of fighting jihad while maintaining family life. The magazine is called Al-Khansa, after a famous Arab woman poet in the early days of Islam, who wrote eulogies to male relatives who had died in battle. It appears to be the first "jihadist" publication aimed exclusively at women. The magazine says it is published by an organisation called "The Women's Media Bureau in the Arabian Peninsula". And it claims that the former leader of al-Qaeda in Saudi Arabia, Abd-al-Aziz al-Muqrin - who was killed by Saudi security forces in June - was one of its founders. Al-Khansa also appears to be linked to the most well-known jihadist outlet on the internet, Sawt al-Jihad - or Voice of Jihad. The first edition of the magazine uses fierce language similar to that found on Sawt-al-Jihad. One of its encouragements to jihad reads: "The blood of our husbands and the body parts of our children are our sacrificial offering."

| #26 You all missed the easiet picked joke: The publication of the magazine is another sign of how radical Islamists have developed the internet as an essential tool for information and propaganda. I didn't know Algore was CEO of this new mag! I had read the quote above (see top of this post), and the sentence had stopped after "internet" to go on to the next line. Man, combining the moose limbs knowledge with Algore, and maybe he really did invent the internet, eh? |

| #25 "The blood of our husbands and the body parts of our children are our sacrificial offering." Body parts of our children? Wonder how large the black market for organs is in Islamic countries, compared to other countries. It is amazing that women who gave birth can talk this way about their kids. |

| #13 "Most of the articles are written as if by women, although it is not clear if they actually were." Oh--ya' mean like "Gentle" & "Antiwar" here on Rantburg? "Some take a somewhat patronising attitude, dwelling on supposed female weaknesses that must be overcome in the cause of jihad - such as over-dependence on home comforts like TV and air conditioning. " Yeah--Damn those modern conveniences. Damn them all to hell. But the internet and the cell phone and the commercial airlines and the refridgerator and the microwave and the laptop and the automobile and modern surgery, medicine, antibiotics, etc. --those are okay. "You stupid women--you are weak, you are incompetent, you have to overcome your liking of civilization. Now submit to us and come help us take over the world through our tough-sounding "jihad" because there aren't enough men who are willing to do it. But shut up first and feed me another felafel. Talk back and I will beat you. Do what I say and I will approve of you. That's what you live for, isn't it? And one more thing: be sure to cut your daughters' vulvas to pieces so that they will think only of the jihad and be obedient |

| #10 " The aim of the magazine is to show women how to reconcile the apparent contradiction of fighting jihad while maintaining family life." How about reconciling the apparent contradiction about being a woman and a Muslim fanatic? |

| #6 According to the fundi-Islamists, women aren't to be educated, so I hope the mag has a lot of pictures. ed, according to those guys, pictures are graven images. It is, as flash91 suggests, probably just knitting patterns and recipes. "Camouflage burkha patterns - the next generation modesty-protection (saving your life at home and at war!)" |

| #2 Here's some info on the original al-Khansa. Her story has the requisite elements: a powerful tribal family located near Mecca/Medina and lots of Dire Revenge (TM). An interesting tidbit: She was one of the major poets of pre-Islamic Arabia (in the period Islamic scholars call the "Jahiliyya"). Her diwan (poetry collection), like those of her contemporaries, was carefully preserved by Islamic scholars who needed to study seventh century Arabic in order to explicate the Qur'an. My comments on Dan's article to follow tomorrow. |
