51. It almost looks like she WANTS to be a martyr
Hear me out.

I read the link, and it says that men who want to be mujahideen are allowed the glory of fighting, but women who want to be mujahideen must become suicide bombers.

So...if she wants to become mujahideen and fight the imperialist American government, it's car-bombing for her. Which sucks.

I also like the comment the husband made that she can't do this while she's pregnant because Islam forbids her to kill the fetus. I don't know about you, but if I was a Muslim man and my wife came to me with this crazy-ass idea about blowing herself up in the service of Allah, we'd be going in the bedroom right about now. And then my imam and I would be having a sit-down about Allah's pronouncement that mothers can't do jihad. "Just find ANYTHING! Falwell's Allah does it! And our Allah is better than Falwell's because his is green and folds in half."
