Report: Al Qaeda uses mentally disabled women as suicide bombers
How desperate and evil are the al Qaeda jihadists in Iraq? This desperate (via Daily Mail):
Two women thought to suffer from Down’s syndrome may have been unwilling suicide bombers in twin blasts that killed up to 73 people at pet markets in Baghdad today.
The first bomber instantly killed 45 people at a packed pet market in Baghdad in the deadliest attack in the Iraqi capital in six months.A separate attack shortly after killed 20 people and wounded scores at a bird market in southern Baghdad…
…The chief Iraqi military spokesman in Baghdad, Brigadier General Qassim al-Moussawi, claimed the female bombers apparently had Down’s syndrome and the explosives were detonated by remote control, indicating the women may not have been willing attackers, according to his office.
Bolstering that claim, local police said the woman in the first attack sold cream in the morning at the market and was known to locals as “the crazy lady”.
Police initially said the bomb at al-Ghazil market was hidden in a box of birds but determined it was a suicide attack after finding the woman’s head, an officer said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorised to release the information.
Bryan Preston notes that the use of mentally disabled suicide bombers is not new.
I also bring all of this up in the hope that liberal readers might finally extract their craniums from their backsides and realize that whatever you think of Bush, he’s not the problem. He didn’t start the war and he’s not the cause of the jihad. Animals of the type who would blow up innocent mentally disabled women to kill scores of other innocent people cannot be reasoned with. There’s nothing to talk over with people like that. They live in a state of violent depravity that puts them beyond reason barring some massive change in their own minds. We infidels aren’t going to make that chance by playing nice. We have to defeat them.

But God forbid we pour water on someone’s nose to find out where these pigs are hiding….then we’d be “no better than them”
/sarc off
This is so evil and sick.
The only thing sicker than taking these two women and using them like they did is the
COMPLETE SILENCE
from the rest of the arab world.
P.S. The mayor of Berkeley comes in a close second.
Yeah, and they believe they are rewarded in Heaven for these atrocities. What kind of God would require acts like this from its followers???
Bryan gives these jihadists more credit than I would — he calls them “people.” There is no punishment severe enough for those who use innocents to kill more innocents. What a sad way to end the week.
They must have heard the news about their commander meeting his virgins. McSlain, do you see how they act? Still want to close Gitmo? Still want to give them lawyers? Still want to kiss they’re Arse?
Well you can kiss mine you POS.
I fail to see the sarcasm there. All too true it hurts.
I find the people who think terrorists should have equal rights under our laws repulsive. They should go and have dialog with these “people” who use women and children as weapons. What kind of country are we handing over to our children where people defend these dogs (no offence to dogs intended) over our fine men and women in the military?
They were members of Code Pink?
30,
A false god.
The protozoa in primeval sludge were more human than these sick animals. ROPMA.
Yes, evil and sick.
And here back home, Al Qaeda is benefiting from our own ‘mentally disabled’ in the form of liberals who advocate on their behalf for things that would benefit them. Such as a complete removal of all troops in Iraq. Something that they so desperately want to see happen.
Maybe they will get their wish granted if a democrat is elected in november.
I pray my God, not theirs, has a special place in hell for these people who does this to mentally challanged people. This is so horrific it is beyond words. And our DC bunch have a blind eye as to what we are up against with these gosh horrible people. Lets get FISA NOW!

Well, this should come as no surprise. And don’t expect the MSM to decry the tactics, lest they suddenly see themselves as “war mongers”. If the sight of thousands or even millions of 5-year-old children, brainwashed seemingly beyond all redemption - ruined for life - spouting murderous hate rhetoric espousing torture and beheadings, then nothing will ever get the MSM to see the horror being unleashed on the world. Unless, that is, they can figure a way to spin it into additional hate-America propoganda.
The libs won’t even notice, just like they don’t notice the fact that women are hung for having sex, or stoned/shot in some Islamic countries for wearing “revealing” clothes. They ignore that women are made to walk 5 paces behind their husbands, because that country also happens to have a female in a leadership position. These women cannot drive, are only allowed to work in limited areas (aka, The Ultimate Glass Ceiling), and can go no where without an escort. These women will even have the honor of getting whipped 200 times for the audacious crime of allowing themselves to be raped.
The Libs/Progressives/Moon-Bats will ignore this crime against humanity, because it does not fit their agenda. As a matter of fact, I am willing to bet that, within the next week, there will be an article or op-ed in the Washington Post that states that We were the cause of these deaths. Any takers?
All of Islam is not to blame for this, but…
1) The only way to stop such madmen is to eliminate them.
2) Anyone who hold similar beliefs to these madmen, but does not speak out, is no better than or less guilty than the German citizenry was when Hitler committed his Holocausts.
We owe it to ourselves and the world to arrange the meeting of Jihadis and their Allah
This is what true evil looks like..
Yup, future-Republican-select presidential candidate John McCain would much rather we allow these beasts to do what they will in continuing to lower the tactics of war to the hellish demons that posess them, rather than doing whatever is necessary to stop them.
These Al Qida Islamofascists are more evil than the Nazis ever imagined they could be, and we have (at least) 80% of our media, a large majority block of our government, and both of our future Presidential Candidates (Republican and Democratic) who are too squeamish to acknowledge it. All they care about is enforcing their claim over us as our betters–that they know far better what’s good for us than we do.
You didn’t really believe that intelligent functional people would buy this suicide nonsense did you?
Nods, commented about this earlier - scum. How can they justify this kind of action? And how can IDIOTS like Code Pinkos ignore this.
Also, it seems to me that whenever civilians are accidentally killed by American fire (usually because they have been used as shields by terrorists), the media is always quick to headline how the evil Americans killed X many innocent children, yet when these evil murdering jihad scum intentionally murder innocent civilians, the mainstream media always take the focus off that, instead saying ‘73 people’, as if they are cans of vegetables or something equally as insignificant on a personal level, rather than innocent civilians, including X innocent children.. or the fact they targeted an area most likely to have a high number of children present. Maybe when they start blowing up classrooms full of children the mainstream media will take offense? I doubt it.
May I remind you #17 that there have been hundreds of suicide bombers with so called normal IQs! BTW I hope you’re not degrading those with DS or those who are mentally challenged.
I don’t kow who is leading in the primary run-ups in Kansas … but anyone from there should be aware that McCain’s stated and published plan is to close Gitmo and move all those terrorists to the federal prison at Fort Leavenworth …
Just thought you might like to know what to look forward to …
I can’t imagine the situation if one of those POS’s managed to escape and be running loose in this country …
For those only now realizing the depth and depravity of these animals … be aware this is not something new and unique to the Islamo-Fascists …
The North Viet Namese and the Viet Cong used suicide bombers as well … it was not totally out of character for them to use the elderly and children to transport the explosives because they could more easily get near American troops for detonation …
nyc123me
They already attack school classrooms … especially those that have female students …
No Bryan, according to the left, we must understand them.
You know, I don’t want to understand them. I want to kill them - before they can kill me.
I didn’t think the forces of Islam could go much lower, but to use women with Down’s syndrome as unsuspecting human bombs only enforces the need to hunt down, corner, and kill every last Jihadist in the planet. This truly is a death cult to treat human life so cheap.
BOB stole my thunder.
Liberalism is, after all, a mental disorder.
It’s been suggested before:
Let’s turn the Gitmo prisoners loose. In Berkeley.
JHSII, sounds to me like Bryan does understand them.
Ergo, you’re right: the only way to deal with them is to keep killing them in battle until they stop or are eliminated.
Too bad we don’t reincarnate. These people should come back as one of their
“victims.” This isn’t pond scum, this is the stuff that is lower than pond scum. If
being a suicide bomber is so wonderful, why aren’t the recruiters bombers instead
of recruiters? Liberals will never understand what is going on because it doesn’t
make them feel good about themselves to believe that there are soulless wonders
on this planet that do this sort of thing. The only word in liberal speak for a
terrorist is Bush.
Could this be…a violoation of the Geneva Convention??? I’m sure the U.N. is looking into this.
Wow, wait till the moderate muslims hear about this. Oh the outrage!
Actually, if I understand Islamic teaching correctly, isn’t the best women who “die for the cause” can hope for is to be one of the 72 virgins? Aren’t women essentially barred from all the full joys and pleasures of Islamic heaven because they’re women?
I’m not being sarcastic, either. I am seriously asking because that’s my understanding.
There was more outcry when Al Qaeda used donkeys as suicide bombers than there will be about using disabled persons or, as Michelle pointed out when Benazir Bhutto was assassinated, babies.
They are vile and their ideology is reprehensible.
Now I’m just waiting for Manning’s Corrollary to be fulfilled…
One of the saddest parts of this story, in my view, is that most people who hear this won’t even be shocked at it. These people are just so horrible, no new atrocity is really all that surprising.
Were the bombings done in the name of allah? islam again insults itself. Can’t wait for muslims to gnash their teeth is disgust. Oh wait that’ll never happen.
#4, Great question! I vote Satan worship. It is just called allah, a moon god from old times.
Let’s understand something, here. I have an adopted daughter with Down Syndrome. She is the sweetest thing since the hole in the doughnut. My little Rebekah would do anything for her Daddy.
People with Down Syndrome learn to trust others. When that trust has been earned, this person would go to the ends of the earth for you.
That, my friends is one of the sickest parts of the story. That they would “love” a person enough to gain their trust to carry out a task like this (one the women probably knew nothing about) speaks volumes of the patience and lengths al Queda will endure to accomplish their mission of death.
evil. Just flat-out evil.
eq1
I believe you are correct … heaven is only for male martyrs
We are parents of an adult w/Downs. I did not know mentally retarded had been used as suicide bombers before now. This is evil beyond our comprehension. The God we trust will have a special place in hell for using His most innocent children to kill themselves and others.
I hope the inner ring of hell reserved for these pigs in human form gives them 72 female demons, each with a chatty-cathy gene and her own EVERLAST explosive vest so that she can blow them to ribbons repeatedly throughout eternity.
This the most digusting thing I have ever read. I thought I was beyond being shocked by the actions of these animals.
EQ,
I wasn’t suggesting that the women knew or thought they would go to heaven. No, I am referring to the lowlifes who betrayed their trust and sent them to their deaths. Those idiots believe they will be rewarded for serving Allah in this capacity.

No #19 - I was not shopwing disrespect to those with disabilities - poor presentation perhaps. I continue to question the sanity of people who believe that the sole purpose of their life is to blow themselves up.
Knowing that they have used brainwashed and terrified children it doesn’t surprise me that they would take advantage of other members of their society.
Down Syndrome people may be simple in their heads, but I reckon they know what a bomb is. They were mentally feeble, but not stupid. I have no sympathy. They knew what they were doing.
It kinda takes away from the selling point doesn’t it? I mean the 72 virgins are only for the men and only if they blow themselves up right? and McCain worries about waterboarding…insane!
I see Rusty&lgm are quiet on this one.
Jaded
it fits their belief exactly … women are property and have no rights … so why would they have anything to look forward to in heaven … other than getting out of the miserable and demeaning world they are stuck in …
#42, I think you’re simple in the head to use your own words. These souls are very easily led. I have a daughter with DS and it appears I’m not the only one else as ACHefty does as well. You obviously know nothing but that’s okay, it makes it easier for you. They are very trusting individuals and I’ve seen some reports that they may have not known what was happening to them.
Yes, Docflash, I noticed the same thing but earlier in the day lgm was on this story and was quite proud of the fact that it was a “bad story” from Iraq.
terrig: apologies if I offended you. Sorry about the “simple in the head” remark. But anyone who walks with a bomb in a market cannot be an innocent victim. Like I said, they may have been disabled (which is a better word: I regret using “mentally feeble”), but they weren’t stupid. I stand by that. Nobody wanders around with a bomb strapped around them thinking that’s the way things should be.
Yes, I know. But I was expressing my curiosity because other women - not mentally disabled - have become homicide bombers (I refuse to call them “suicide” bombers because the word “suicide” indicates one victim - we all know these operate to the contrary).
Yet as someone confirmed above, women martyrs do not receive the same “reward” for their terrorism.
So even in the afterlife, women are discriminated against.
EQ,
I see.
Okay, NOW. Any comment? (crickets) I didn’t think so. Too busy trying to figure a strategy to offset MoveOn’s endorsement. This won’t be happening once Obama is President. They wouldn’t need to bomb anyone…too busy celebrating after Obama and MoveOn yell, “We give up! Don’t hurt us! We’re going home!”
Ibn Warraq, in his book “Why I am Not A Muslim”, explains this bizarre idea of 72 virgins as an error of translation: it in fact means that martyrs will receive 72 “grapes of crystal clear clarity”. Good news for women martrs, less for the men (if such rubbish even exists).
(For the record, I am a conservative and an atheist)
The answer is quite simple Satin is the God of Islam it is not the God I worship the God I worship is just the opposite and what is the opposite? Satin. Islam is nothing more than a cult of evil they indoctrinate their children by forcing them to memorize the Quaran, they teach them to hate those whom don’t believe what they do, that it is holy to hurt, maime and kill those whom they are tought to hate. Satin is building his army within Islam.
I hear the words Moderate Islam, where is moderate Islam? There is no such thing the Quoran is a book of evil, hate, destruction and those who believe it and practice it are not moderate in any way, they are silent because in secret they believe that the action’s of the so called radical’s is righteous and in line with what they believe. You will not hear the voice of so called moderate Islam because their is no voice.
Call it what you want a Crusade against this evil must happen to deminish the force’s of evil.
Antaradus you may be an athiest but even you must see that this is not the way human being’s should treat one another. I am not damning your decision to be an athiest that is the beauty of my God he has given us all a choice to believe or not and you have made a choice that’s more than I can say for some.
Just when you think that these recalcitrant swine cannot get any lower, they find a new, more vile way to blow an even fouler stench into the nostrils of civilized people.
ROPMA
He may surprise me yet, but I fear this will be another example of why President Bush disappoints me. Why doesn’t he spend more time announcing to the world that these are the tactics used by the monsters we are up against? If he were to spend more time in front of the people pointing out these atrocities, who in their right mind wouldn’t understand that Al Qaeda has no desire to negotiate or reason with anyone who disagrees with them. Perhaps then, even the so-called moderate Muslims might be forced to speak out against the extremists (I know, not likely).
Indeed the god of islam is the Devil himself! He had to imitate what Christ ever does and he made himself a counterfeit religion which would be respectable to the world. True believeres in Christ can recognize that islam is straight from the gates of hell. Five billion muslims are deceived in believing a false religion that damns them straight to hell. As for the MSM they won’t respond until the muslims blow up an abortion clinic but I doubt that will happen because Christ said the devil will not divide himself up.
#52 eep! We’re about to be attacked by 20 yards of pink satin cloth? I think you mean satan.
Gee wiz, look at all the “shocked” posters.
The United States is at war. Why? Because Islam has declared war on US!
Wake up and smell the cordite.
Does it take two retards getting blown up by remote control to make you idiots realize that we have to kill them before they kill us?
WTF, over?
Here is my short list of future prospects: (In no particular order)
Hillary Clinton
Nancy Pelosi
Dennis K’s wife
Keith Olbermann’s (D) wife
Rosie O’Donnell
Obama Girl
Joy Behar
Chelsea Clinton
Roseanne Barr
Talk amongst yourselves.
The only reason these women are being blown up is because our bullying American EMPIRE is over there inflicting our policies upon people who just want to be left alone!!!
/Ron Paul impression
Sorry they don’t want to be left ALONE dirk the Muslims would be blowing each other up or they would be blowing Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddists. Why are muslims upset over in Thailand and the Phillipines? Is that trouble caused by your so called Yankee Imperialism? The US doesn’t have bases in India and they haven’t had any in the Phillipines for years. Another think Dirk is that the Muslims want to drive Israel clear out but the funny thing is the bible says no one will drive them out so it doesn’t matter what the USA does when it comes to the Muslims.
Progressives should be pleased, as the gender gap for suicide bombers is being bridged.
The only problem is the terror masters haven’t gone far enough. It’s great that they’re recruiting women, children and the handicapped, but they also need to recruit gay and transgendered suicide bombers, jews, atheists, etc.
Just like progressives want a work force etc. that “looks like America,” the jihadis must strive to employ shiheedis that “look like islam.” To the extent that they do so, jiahdis are entitled to expect the continued support of the left.
