Ok I've seen that picture of the one lady on the left like a million times, do we actually know who she is?
Because the idea of a woman being a fighter in a fundamentalist Mujihideen kinda seems out of place when you think of it.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reem_Riyashi
Palestinian suicide bomber who killed herself and 4 Israelis in 2004.
That unfortunately makes more sense
I think this is misconception. In history you can read about contribution of women fighters in islam. Here is one of the oldest “Nusaybah bint Ka'ab”
There are more if you would like to search.
The islamic history is interesting, you will find many “progressive” things compare to today “extremist muslims”.
Yes. But the implication is usually that she's one of the extremists. Who are distinctly not as progressive as some historical movements in the religion.
They literally have their own version of the Leviticus debate about gay people, and its almost exactly the same "the one book that brings it up was talking about rape actually" "no it wasnt"
