terrorist patriarchy?
i found this article on CNN very interesting. it seems to me that the end of the article touches on something a little more profound. it doesn't really surprise me that al Qaeda is taking advantage of the fact that men cannot search women in iraq. it is really unfortunate, however, that these women are obviously in vulnerable positions- widowed, have lost children, or are simply young and overwhelmed by promises of spiritual reward or money. my first reaction to the theme of the article was: "Of course women can be terrorists; women can be just as fanatical about fundamentalist causes as men can." But after reading the article, it is clear that these women are not being given an opportunity to dedicate themselves to a cause, but are being used as valuable pawns for the war waged by al Qaeda.
