"A failed attack involving a car loaded with gas canisters near Notre Dame Cathedral was spearheaded by a group of women that included a 19-year-old..."

"A plot conceived and carried out by a group of women would mark a new step in the Islamic State group’s attempts to sow fear in Europe...."
Women in the group do not take part in attacks, [said Matthieu Suc, author of “Wives of Jihadis”], but are there “to ensure the longevity of the caliphate” by having babies and providing moral support. But, he added, “there are often young girls, who are just as radicalized as the young men, and they also want the status of martyr, and they want to act.”...

"who are just as radicalized" Or: "who have become equally serious Muslims, who take the actual demands of jihad seriously and want to take the holy fight to the infidels."

The headline I saw said "outside a church" so I didn't read it. Didn't realize it was Notre Dame.

Feminism.

Think of Notre Dame and all the fine Gothic cathedrals scattered around Europe.

Think of the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's.

A hundred years from now the Muslims will have destroyed them all, or converted them to mosques as was done to the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul.

Bye Bye Europe, hello Eurabia and a return to the Dark Ages.

Wait till one of these women wearing a Burka blows herself and a good many others up in France because no one noticed the suicide vest.

Skipping past the story...

In the end it won't matter, as Europe doesn't have a penalty equal to the crime. These animals will be allowed to live, just as they are allowed now to freely migrate.

Borders and sovereignty are ancient 20th Century concepts. In the end, the peasants will have to revolt to save themselves, or not.

Spain under Islamic rule was a pretty nice place. Better than it was under Catholic rule. At least they didn't burn books.

Maybe an Islamic world could be a good thing, to replace the end of Capitalism, or Imperialism, or transgender bathrooms.

I'm reserving judgement until Black Lives Matter and millionaire football players protesting America resolves itself.

Spain under the Muslims wasnt that nice a place.
For one very brief moment a part of Spain was a bit like how some people would like to imagine it, "Tales of the Alhabra" style. But it collapsed into internal warfare and was taken over, most of it, by two separate sets of the ancestors of ISIS.
Whatever it created was preserved by Christian scholars. In fact it seems to have existed nearly entirely for the benefit of future generations of European scholars, as no-one else seems to have made much use of its posterity.
Post-Muslim, Post-Jewish Spain was a leading light of European culture. Nearly all European literature owes a lot to the explosion if creativity of Spanish writers and especially dramatists of the 16th-17th century. The scale of this was tremendous, unprecedented, and not exceeded until the 19th century.

If you're the Unknown I'm thinking of, I'd say they've got your number to several decimal places.

So, here's a serious theological question: do all the advantages that accompany martyrdom in Islamic theology accrue to a woman?

Do female martyrs immediately go to Heaven & not "sleep in the dust" until the Resurrection of the Body? Can they intercede with God for the souls of 70 of their family members at the Last Judgement? I guess they don't get 72 brides, but do they get 72 male athletes & movie stars as husbands? A passel of obedient & loving kids? What's behind the curtain where Carol is standing?

I wouldn't assume that what applies to a male martyr applies to a woman. But, I'd like to know what the Islamic jurists think about this & what texts they use to back their analysis.

I'm getting ads for 13 year old boys in Clorox white briefs, even though I am interested in naked large hipped hairy women...

I don't think the Althouse marketing empire is winning...

"...they also want the status of martyr"

By all means, help them along. Just try to do so before they succeed at their goal of ruining another piece of civilization.

Send in the abortionists. They're usually more effective. I guess the dynamic and outcome changes without a captive, disarmed audience.

By the way, the hero of this story was a man who noticed the car and called the police. I believe he had a restaurant on the street. I read the story the day before they caught the people who set it up.

They said, the day before, that they found no detonator in the car, so were slightly confused. But the car had no plates, so that was very important.

Obviously, the rag-heads planned to shoot at the car, which would have been the detonator.

n.n. if God could kill everyone on the planet with water, do you think he'd mind if women emptied their uterus on demand?

After all, he designed women to throw their eggs away.

Curious: do you defend, support, whatever, the expulsion of Jews from Spain? Do you regard them as an equal, or a different, threat to Spanish identity, culture or welfare? Incidentally, are you aware of a 'marranos' phenomenon with crypto Muslims as opposed to crypto Jews?

Abortion is "playing God," not to be confused with "Godlike" or "God-pleasing."

Only if you are religious. If you don't believe in a God, you are the God. You don't have to play one.

Not necessarily about ME specifically. Rather about which topics have gained my notice recently. For example a family member has encountered numerous medical symptoms. Took the docs a while to sort out. But I Googled both symptoms and some of the (then) best guesses by the doctors.

I began seeing e-mails for burial plots! Fortunately that is NOT the end result for the family member.

Female Muslims insist on equal opportunity to murder innocent people- Nice mash-up of feminism and radical Islamism. Coming soon to a state, county, and town near you- Thanks, progressives!

Worthwhile to note occasionally that women are raising and imprinting these people. Good job, women! Look upon the society you have created and perpetuated.
