Yemen kills ‘al-Qaeda militants disguised as veiled women’

Dec 13, 2014 11:43 pm By Robert Spencer

niqabs2It’s blazingly obvious that this garb can be and has been used to conceal wanted criminals and commit crimes. But to ban it in the West would be “Islamophobic.”

“Yemen kills ‘al-Qaeda militants disguised as veiled women,'” BBC, December 13, 2014 (thanks to Ali):

Several suspected al-Qaeda militants, disguised as fully veiled women, have reportedly been shot dead by Yemeni security forces near the Saudi border.

The militants were killed after one of them opened fire on a soldier who was checking their vehicle, officials say.

One report quoting a Yemeni official said three militants were killed – while another put the number at five.

The Yemeni offshoot of al-Qaeda has exploited recent instability to seize parts of the country’s south and east.

Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) is regarded by the United States as the deadliest branch of the global jihadist network, blamed for several attempted attacks on Western targets.

The vehicle carrying the militants was stopped at a border crossing in the Hawdh area of northern Yemen, according to Yemeni security officials quoted by the Associated Press news agency.

One of the militants reportedly opened fire on a soldier who tried to enter the vehicle, lightly injuring him.

The agency quotes officials as saying that the soldier shot all three militants dead. The driver of the vehicle, who was also injured, is said to have confessed that he and his passengers were al-Qaeda members on a mission to attack Saudi border guards….

    The Islamic mask is obviously a disguise for terrorism. All masks imply a threat. The Islamic mask on women is a threat to those women who don’t wear it!

    Islamic terrorism is a threat to all governments even those of Muslim-majority countries.

    I wonder if the Koran has an equivalent verse to Deuteronomy 22:5 in the Bible:

    A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man wear women’s clothing, for the LORD your God detests anyone who does this. (New International Version)

    Did the soldiers have a woman remove the veils from the dead militants?

      “I wonder if the Koran has an equivalent verse to Deuteronomy 22:5 in the Bible”

      The hadith has a slightly different form of Deuteronomy 22:5: (sarc/off)

      Muhammad said:
      “Revelations (i.e the Quran) never come to me when I’m dressed in women’s clothing except when I’m dressed in Aisha’s” (Bukhari 3.47.755)

    Precisely why the Burqa should be banned.

    • Jae M says

      Absolutely right. As far as I know, there is nothing in the Quran that states that women must be covered head to toe like this anyway.

    The last time I performed the duties of Casualty Assistance Officer I escorted a young widow lady to her Husband’s funeral through the Nashville airport. I was in full Dress Blues with military ID and had to practically stip to my britches, and off course take off my Jump boots, while 3 black bags floated through security with NO checks!
    .
    Feel safe yet?

    “Ban the Burqa – and the Niqab Too”

    [Concluding eexcerpt]:-

    ” The time has come everywhere to ban from public places these hideous, unhealthy, socially divisive, terrorist-enabling, and criminal-friendly garments. ”
