ROME — Al Qaeda has introduced an online women's magazine with articles including dietary advice for suicide bombers and tips on how to "dominate the passions" before blowing yourself up, according to Italy's SISDE secret service.
With its bizarre format including articles on "breathing gymnastics to conquer the passions," evidently essential knowledge for those tempted to have a final fling before strapping on an explosive-laden corset, Al Khansa could indicate that al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden has made a strategic choice in favor of "women's emancipation through martyrdom," according to the Gnosis report.
In Al Khansa, the theorists of al Qaeda offer women "a path to reach freedom that would be denied in every other way — using the dominion of religion to oppose the dominion of men," the Italian secret service report said.

It looks like al Qaeda is taking a page from the Chechnyan book on terrorism. Maybe they are running out of male recruits?
I dont think even Allah would sacrifice soul's in Heaven to pleasure the ugly muslim women.
Al-Khansa � (600 - 670)
Born into a noble nomadic tribe, the Madar , Al KhansLATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH MACRON was one of the great poets of the period. Her life spans the early years of Islam. She refused to marry until she found the husband of her choice. Eventually she married three times and outlived all her husbands. Four of her sons were killed in the Battle of Qadasiyah , one of the decisive battles of early Islamic history. She took regular part in poetry competitions in a male-dominated environment and established an enduring reputation; her special genre was the elegy. Most of her poems are about her brothers, Sakhr and Muawiya, killed in tribal battles pre-dating Islam. Muawiya was killed first; then Sakhr was wounded in a revenge attempt and died of his wounds. Part of a woman poet's role was to mourn the dead in elegies performed for the tribe in public oral competitions; Khansa's laments made her famous throughout the Arab world. She met Muhammed (the Prophet) in 629 and converted to Islam. The Muhammed was said to have been very impressed by her poetry

5. A true fundamentalist muslim would never admit to the opression of women. He would believe they are treated just as they should be. Therefore what would she be emancipated from?
8. Watch the alphabet news for any mention in the future about Al-CIAda sanctioning the use of women in war. An "man's" activity in a "man's" world. The women who have done this (there have been a few isolated incidents) were desperate, had lost their providers or sons and had nothing to lose.
