"Iraqi teenager Raniya Ibrahim... The 16-year-old would-be female suicide bomber was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison by a juvenile criminal court."A lot of the time, you'll hear terrorist sympathizers and Muslim fundamentalists (which are quite lacking in difference) bemoan the "foreign presence" in Iraq and excuse suicide attacks as a form of resistance to it. The same argument has been made to excuse Hamas' acts of terror on Israeli civilians.
But does this sound like a mentality focused on resisting a foreign occupier? Yahoo! News reports:
In a prison interview, [an Iraqi female arrested for recruiting female suicide bombers] told The Associated Press about a plot in which young women were raped and then persuaded to carry out suicide attacks to reclaim their honor.
Shariahism is not only a danger to non-Muslims; it's a danger to anyone who is not a male Muslim. Of the majority sect. And even then, it's still dangerous.
