Apparently that aphorism doesn't apply to jihadist doctors:
The acting director of a Baghdad psychiatric hospital has been arrested on suspicion of supplying al-Qaeda in Iraq with the mentally impaired women that it used to blow up two crowded animal markets in the city on February 1, killing about 100 people.
And...
The attraction of mentally impaired women to al-Qaeda was obvious, he said. Being women they could get close to targets with less chance of being stopped or searched; being mentally impaired, they were “less likely to make a rational judgment about what they are being asked to do”.
The February 1 attacks were the deadliest – and most chilling – to hit the Iraqi capital in months. One of the women was given a backpack full of explosives and ballbearings, the other a suicide vest laden with explosives. They were sent into the middle of al-Ghazl and New Baghdad markets, which were packed with people. Their explosives were then detonated by remote control.
The Times was shown photographs of the two young women’s severed heads, which were recovered from the wreckage. One very obviously had Down’s syndrome. The other had the round face, high forehead and other features often associated with Down’s syndrome, but her symptoms were less pronounced.
This isn't the first time the brave, brave jihadis, these Lions of Islam, have used the mentally or emotionally ill to do their filthy work. Hamas has used female suicide bombers against Israel, (ab)using women who feel they have shamed themselves before their families and Allah: mass-murder becomes their act of atonement -- a form of honor-killing. Several times they've stooped so low as to use children for their attacks.
There's an old joke that states that the first rule of Texas Common Law is "He needed killing."
It's no joke in this case.
