Baghdad NOW Lauds Female Suicide Bomber For Shattering Glass Ceiling, Glass Windows, Glass Doors

BAGHDAD - The Baghdad National Organization for Women paid homage to the female suicide bomber who blew herself up among Shiite pilgrims south of Baghdad yesterday, killing 26.  NOW issued a proclamation commending the young woman for ”shattering the glass ceiling and the glass storefont windows, not to mention the glass doors for several blocks.  In fact, that bomb pretty much shattered everything.”

NOW bemoaned the fact that when the suicide bomber entered Paradise, she was greeted by only 55 virgins instead of the 72 virgins that typically greet her male counterparts.  As previously reported, the disparity reflects the gender wage gap that pays women only 77% of what men make for doing the same work.
