Equal Rights

(Fox News) - Female Islamic extremists are insisting that Al Qaeda give them the right to become terrorists. Usama bin Laden's right-hand man, Ayman al-Zawahiri, recently praised the wives of Al Qaeda fighters on an Islamic Web site.

But, he declared that a woman's role should be limited to the household and caring for children, and that there are no women in Al Qaeda.

But he failed to mention that women in the terror network's Iraq branch have carried out at least 20 suicide bombings since 2003.

Now, The Scotsman newspaper reports a number of extremist Web sites are buzzing with complaints.

One letter written by a female extremist says, "When Zawahiri said there are no women in Al Qaeda, he saddened and hurt me."

Another woman pleaded with God to liberate women so they can participate in holy war.

And, there is even an online magazine which explains how women can take part in terrorist training camps and features biographies of female fighters.
