Equal opportunities for female suicide bombers

In one area of radical Islamic society, and only one, it seems women finally may be one step closer to achieving equality. Like men, it seems women have the right, if not obligation, to strap a crude bomb around their bodies and blow themselves up in front of innocent bystanders.
Jordanian authorities confirmed that last week's three bombings in Amman, could have actually been worse. This Iraqi woman, Sajida Mubarak al-Rishawi's, is suspected of being a wannabe fourth bomber. In a video, she displays the belt loaded with explosives that she wore underneath her clothing. She claims it failed to detonate after she walked into a wedding celebration at the Radisson hotel in Jordan with her husband. Her husband killed himself along with 38 others at the wedding. But after her explosives malfunctioned, al-Rishawi says she ran from the hotel along with the other guests.
According to her confession, her husband planned the operation and she did not even know about the mission until they were in Jordan. But, if she did try to set off the bomb then she is just another terrorist, and her brother was apparently a terrorist too. He was killed by U.S. forces so she may have felt that killing Jordanian civilians was some sort of revenge. She joins the ranks of other women who killed or tried to kill civilians, mostly in Israel, Egypt and among Chechnyan Muslim separatists.
Studies of female suicide bombers have shown that they often have the same twisted view of the world as the men. But even so, this is hardly separate but equal. While al Qaeda allows women to participate in terrorist activity, they never hold any position of authority or leadership. So far, they are just offered up the opportunity to kill themselves and others.
