Mother of all Martyrs

The first time I have specifically heard the issue of women discussed is from a Palestinian speaker (I've lost track of names and occasions, they seem to have blurred already).

"Women are important in the peace process" he tells us, and we all prick up our womanly ears, "they are the mothers and sisters and wives of martyrs".

Ah. That's it. We're here to encourage suicide bombers, maybe even have a few ourselves.
