This is too bizarre to be believed, but we’re assured that it’s true. Al-Qaeda now publishes a women’s magazine that offers beauty, fashion and suicide bombing tips.
We couldn’t make up something this bizarre if our lives depended on it. And they may.
The Daily Mail UK has the publishing particulars:
Dubbed ‘Jihad Cosmo’, the glossy magazine’s front cover features the barrel of a sub-machine gun next to a picture a woman in a veil.
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’.
Readers are told it is their duty to raise children to be mujahideen ready for jihad.
And the ‘beauty column’ instructs women to stay indoors with their faces covered to keep a ‘clear complexion’.
They should ‘not go out except when necessary’ and wear a niqab for ‘rewards by complying with the command of Allah Almighty’.
… A trailer for the next issue promises tips on skin care – and how to wage electronic jihad.
We have no smart ass closing line for this story. We are mute with amazement.
