Is this what 17 looks like? Moscow suicide bomber was a child.





Regardless of cultural or religious differences, this is not what I picture as a 17 year old girl. The widow of a 30 year old terrorist, killed in Russia last December. Apparently the girl, Dzhennet Abdurakhmanova, also called Jennet Abdurakhmanova in some reports, met Umalat Magomedov on the internet. It is reported that after their first "date" he refused to let her leave and "kept her."

Janis Ian wrote the sad song, "I learned the truth at 17,"
I learned the truth at seventeen
That love was meant for beauty queens
And high school girls with clear skinned smiles
Who married young and then retired.

A 17 year old girl wrapped herself in explosives and walked onto a train and blew herself, and others to pieces. What "truth" did she learn to make this happen? No god, supreme being, call it what you will, deserves this "truth." This is a lie, this horribly distorts "truth."
