Al-Qaeda mag offers beauty tips with suicide bombing advice

[pintobean]

London, March 14 (ANI): Al-Qaeda has launched a magazine for women that not only offers beauty and fashion tips but also gives advice on suicide bombings.

The front cover of the glossy magazine, called 'Jihad Cosmo', features the barrel of a sub-machine gun next to a picture of a woman in a veil, reports the Daily Mail.

There are exclusive interviews with martyrs' wives, who praise their husbands' decisions to die in suicide attacks.

The slick, 31-page Al-Shamikha magazine - meaning The Majestic Woman - has advice for singletons on 'marrying a mujahideen'.

1. Weird

Really fucking weird

No stranger than American survivalist magazines, I reckon.

3. Do the survivalist magazines offer beauty tips?

I've never seen one.
I wonder if they offer the latest burka fashions, with pictures of models on the runway.

2. Sounds like an old National Lampoon-style parody

I can see why satire and parody are no longer very profitable: Reality has become one big self-parody.

That said, I can't help but wonder if this isn't really some kind of psyops production. It's hard to tell any more, I guess.
