She was Amish.

Amish extremists can't make use of text messaging technology to set off their explosives. It's why they seldom pull off terror attacks. You have any idea how hard it is to discreetly string a fuse all the way to your target?

Now that's just odd.

I know right? Why would an Amish suicide bomber have a cell phone?

Probably because Kortz was kidding. She's suspected of being a part of a radical Islamist terror group.


I can not see how any significantly powerful deity would want its followers killing others. Get off your lazy duff and do it yourself. I guarantee it would increase recruits into your religion.

Letting your minions handle your dirty work just leaves too many questions about their true motives.

Reports that she was Amish are exaggerated. She was a Mennonite.

It'd be great if it was a text message ad for life insurance.

I think the "Happy New Year" text message was sufficiently ironic.


Security sources believe a message from her mobile phone operator wishing her a happy new year received just hours before the planned attack triggered her suicide belt, killing her at a safe house.

"Happy New Year!"
"Well not now!"


Also…does Allah still let you into paradise if you botch your attempted jihad?

Also…if Allah does let her into paradise, does she get male virgins?

No, she is stuck with her Earth husband in the afterlife. Plus she has to put up with all the beautiful virgin girls hanging around.

So that should be fun.

Since the various translation of the Koran usually describes the pleasing nature of the aforementioned virgins' breasts, I'd hazard to say 'no'.

I used to have a professor who was a Muslim from Palestine and he used to tell us that the Koran actually said you got 77 raisins. He was very anti-martyrdom if you can't tell.

Well, in that case I'm telling Islamic Jihad that I quit.


The Koran doesn't itself specify an exact number of virgins/companions; that bit comes from an apocryphal source as I understand it. A bit of marketing spin perhaps?

Houri: Splendid companions of subtable age;Lovely eyed of modest gaze, voluptuous pure companions of paradise.

hadith 2687 , 'The smallest reward for the people of Heaven is an abode where there are eighty thousand servants and seventy-two houri, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine and ruby, as wide as the distance from al-Jabiyyah to San'a.'

The Hadith aren't the same as the Koran, though. Like the Mishna and the Talmud aren't the Tanakh. Like 4E is not AD&D.

I didn't know Calistra made collect calls. :)


So, if this is the case, why doesn't the NSA send a text to every cellphone number in regions where terrorists are active? It certainly wouldn't get even 1%, but it'd be pretty cheap, relatively.

All gods make collect calls. It's called "death" and they collect your soul.

Now that's hilarious. "This is the NSA with a Bomb Call. If you're a suicide bomber, you've just exploded. If you can read this, you're clean."

I guess the non-lethal option for stopping people is too popular for something like that, though, especially because whenever something does explode, there might be collateral damage. I don't think they can issue a PSA urging terrorists to work in isolated places.

Actually the part of the Old Testament which concerns the conquest of Canaan, has quite a few exhortations for the Hebrews to smite their enemies, leaving none alive.

Nah, a NSA agent could just post the idea on 4chan. I'm sure a bunch of /b/tards would do it just for laughs.
