DAR AL HARB - U.K.: MOSLEMAS, IN BRITAIN, ARE GOING TO POSE A GREATER RISK

British Warn of Growing Female Islamic Radicalism
by Sylvia Poggioli

British authorities are warning that a form of militant Islamist feminism is beginning to emerge, and that some Muslim women could begin to pose a security threat.

Officials say the great majority of Muslims, men and women, espouse moderate views.

But there is growing concern over an Islamic reawakening among women that could further widen the divide between large sectors of Muslims and mainstream British society.

'The Lyrical Terrorist'

In October, Britain's Channel 4 TV network broadcast a thriller about a brother and sister, British-born Muslims, pulled in opposite directions.

Unexpectedly, it's the woman in the story who breaks with the system and becomes radicalized by the anti-terrorism laws that many Muslims consider draconian. Nasima, the sister, is a secular political activist, who embraces the cause of jihad and becomes a suicide bomber.
But that was just fiction.

A few days later, this is what Britons heard on the news:

"A former worker at Heathrow airport who called herself the lyrical terrorist has become the first woman in the country to be convicted under new terrorism laws. Twenty-three-year-old Samina Malik was found guilty of possessing records likely to be used in an act of terrorism."

The materials included an al-Qaida manual, a booklet on mujahedeen poisons and bomb-making instructions.

But it was Malik's poems that shocked the British public. For example:

How to Behead
It's not as messy or hard as some may think.
It's all about the flow of the wrist.
Sharpen the knife to its maximum.
And before you begin to cut the flesh.
Tilt the fool's head to its left.
Saw the knife back and forth.
No doubt the punk will twitch and scream.
But ignore the donkey's ass.
And continue to slice back and forth.

As a shop assistant at Heathrow airport, Malik was familiar with sensitive security procedures. She spent much of her time at work writing about her desire for martyrdom.

The judge gave her a nine-month suspended sentence but told her, "In many respects, you are a complete enigma to me."

Any pity or empathy I may have had for the "walking head to toe bags" has evaporated over time...

Especially of the "walking/talking head to toe bags" that are found in the West...
