Perhaps because they have more compassion for the bomber (of either sex) than they do for the soldier? It is ironic that a culture that refuses women the right to vote, the right to work or be any type of supervisor, denies their right to speak their mind, forces them to remain covered in public, would condone or even encourage women to blow themselves up. Isn't the status of martyr reserved exclusively for men? Are women allowed to be 'warriors' in islamic culture? Do they get 69 male virgins?
