Beware the Mum Bombers!

Filed under: Media — @ 05:45:46 pm

Yes, Fox News have done it again. Now, it's not only A-rabs and liberals you should be keeping an eye on in airports, but pregnant women as well!

The growing use by terrorist groups of women — some disguised as expectant moms — to deliver deadly homicide bombs has prompted the Department of Homeland Security and FBI to issue a rare warning that such attacks could take place on American soil.

The joint security assessment cited recent female homicide bomber attacks in Baghdad — in which two women who appeared to have Down syndrome delivered a deadly explosion that killed 99 — as well as in Sri Lanka, Chechnya, India, Pakistan and the Palestinian territories as reason for the warning.

"Female suicide bombers may have an advantage over their male counterparts in accessing targets," the analysis cautioned. "The means to conduct a suicide attack vary widely, but a key element in maximizing the lethality of a suicide bombing is the bomber's ability to get close to the target."

The assessment also strongly warned that potential female homicide bombers could use "prosthetic devices that mimic the look of a pregnant woman."

Those pesky women, always with something up their sleeves. So, as a result of two women being severely exploited in Baghdad by terrorists, the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI have concluded that pregnant women could be a threat. What about women with large chests? Do we see Fox News warning us all to steer clear of these types of women? Of course not, because if we did see such a thing occur, Fox would lose 95% of their target audience. How's about fat people? Are we all warned to avoid putting our trust in fat people? No, because if we were, Fox would offend 99.9% of their target audience.

Surely both are just as capable of camouflaging bombs and suchlike? Full 'story' is available here. This comes shortly after Fox decided to run, on the front page of their site, a story about Muslims trying to censor wikipedia. This was the image they used:

...except I've cut off the right hand side of the image, because I haven't decided yet whether I want to piss off millions of people just to prove that I've got the right to free speech. But it strikes me as odd that Fox would run with such a headline, unless they were deliberately trying to incite a story that can only portray Muslims in a bad light, which surely they'd never want to do, especially not with the caucuses going on?!
