"The blood of our husbands and the body parts of our children . . ."
Say you're a jihadi, going about your sacred work of sawing off the heads of Nepalese dish washers, kidnapping Turkish truck drivers, etc. What's the one thing missing from your life?
Did you say an online magazine for your wife? Well, here's Al-Khansa, apparently "the first 'jihadist' publication aimed exclusively at women." Among the topics discussed in the inaugural issue: raising children in the path of jihad, providing first aid, and phys ed for women in training for fighting.
According to the BBC, "One of its encouragements to jihad reads: 'The blood of our husbands and the body parts of our children are our sacrificial offering.'"
