Al-Qaeda Militants Using Rape of Men and Women to Produce New Suicide Bombers

The organized rape of men, women, and children has emerged as the suicide bomber recruiting tool du jour at Middle East al-Qaeda camps. Rape, and the attendant shame levied on victims by adherents of fundamentalist Islam.

Samira Ahmed Jassim, dubbed “The Mother of Believers, is accused of recruiting over 80 women to become suicide bombers. Exploiting the culture of honor killings, Jassim orchestrated the rapes of young Iraqi women as a method of dishonoring them. After the women had suffered perhaps the greatest humiliation in Islamic culture, Jassim would step in to advise them that martyrdom through suicide bombing was the only way to redeem themselves.

Via GayPatriot comes a second report of rape being used as a barbaric al-Qaeda recruitment tool, this time on men and boys:

Evil al-Qaeda chiefs are raping young male converts to shame them into becoming suicide bombers, it emerged yesterday.

The intense social stigma and fear of more gay sex attacks leaves Muslims prepared to die.

The warped new tactic was revealed by a reformed Algerian militant. Abu Baçir El Assimi said: “The sexual act on young recruits aged between 16 to 19 was a means to urge them to commit suicide operations.”

The environment cultivated by fundamentalist Islam is one in which the innocent victims of rape bear all the shame and stigma of the assault while the rapist earns extremist brownie points for terrorizing the next batch of suicide bombers into compliance. Rape is one more violent weapon in the arsenal used to coerce young men and women into making a sacrifice that piety alone does not compel them to make. They are shamed into seeking redemption by taking as many lives as possible in the ultimate service to Allah.
