Is Al Qaida guilty of sexism?

Question

If I hadn't read this story with my own eyes I wouldn't believe it, but thats what its female members have accused its leaders of!

"A woman's role, (leader Ayman Al-Zawahri) said on the Internet audio recording, is limited to caring for the homes and children of al-Qaida fighters.

His remarks have since prompted an outcry from fundamentalist women, who are fighting or pleading for the right to be terrorists."

Answer 1

Feminist's are terrorist, he said it.  It's true.

Answer 2

al-Qaeda is guilty of a lot of things. It is a branch of feminist thinking.

Answer 3

the female soldiers in chiapas, mexico also accused the male leaders of the same. the mission was to achieve equality for the poor, the women wondered, why aren't you granting us equality if you purport to be fighting for equality? in other words, it was hypocrisy.

there are some women in this world who want to have the opportunity to be rebels or terrorists or whatever. keep in mind that even al qaida (like all others before them, even hitler) believe they are doing good.

as humans who are passionate about thier cause, these women want the same opportunity as the men. why should men deny them this opportunity? (and on the contrary, some men with use and/or exploit women for their causes, too).

anyway, i dont condone it, my point is we're always trying to put women in these tightly resricted roles in life instead of letting them have their freedom.
