BBC: Radical Islamists have started the first jihad magazine aimed at women, Al-Khansa. The magazine will combine fashion & beauty tips with helpful hints for the jihad wife (I'm not making that up) as well as inspirational messages: "We have set our lines next to our men to support them, raise their children and be prepared. May God elevate us to martyrs. We will stand covered in our veils and abayas, with our weapons in our hands and our children in our arms. The blood of our husbands and the limbs of our children are an offering to God."
On child-raising: "Our main mission is to present lions to the battlefield."
On women warriors: "Women can fight without the permission of their husband or guardian since it would be a duty, and duties do not require consent."
