ADVICE SOUGHT
AP reports:
The first female Hamas suicide bomber was given a hero's funeral Thursday, a day after killing four Israeli border guards, and Israel sealed the Gaza Strip to review security at border crossings.
"She is not going to be the last (attacker) because the march of resistance will continue until the Islamic flag is raised, not only over the minarets of Jerusalem, but over the whole universe," Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar said.
Remember that line the next time you hear people complaining about Western imperialism. Anyway, what’s the correct term for a female Hamas bomber? A Hamiss, maybe? A Hamette? A Hamstress? If she’s not going to be the last, we journalists need to know. We'd hate to cause offence.
UPDATE. Hamasista? Shamas?
Posted by Tim Blair at January 16, 2004 10:59 AMHamisina? Hamstress sounds like some out pork tamer, or an S&M butcher, definitely doesn't sound halal.

Regarding those Ham'Grenades...
It's obviously Ham'ster for males
and Ham'let for females.

"In a society where consensus is valued [inforced], criticizing the armed groups openly is seen by many as a betrayal [and they will be killed for it]."
Haggis?
They really know how to press the buttons of cheap white guilt, don't they.
"She is not going to be the last (attacker) because the march of resistance will continue until the Islamic flag is raised, not only over the minarets of Jerusalem, but over the whole universe," Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar said.
Yes, even when we control the entire universe, we will bravely resist any pockets of infidels who somehow managed to survive!
Ah, Mr Zahoud, I think the word is "oppression", not "resistance".

Ham'ster. Heheheh.
Posted by: Spiny Norman at January 16, 2004 at 11:19 AMI believe the correct term for a female suicide bomber is "A c*nt"

Posted by: Robert Blair at January 16, 2004 at 11:20 AMWhat I don't understand is: if she blew herself up and managed to kill 4 others at the same time, where did they get enough body parts to fill a coffin?
They never open these coffins in front of independent witnesses do they? Just crowds of people carrying guns carrying a(n empty?) coffin. I think I'm onto something here...Coffingate!
Posted by: Allan at January 16, 2004 at 11:32 AMI think anything that reniforces the pork linkage can only be good.
Posted by: Kevin at January 16, 2004 at 11:35 AMAllan,
Did you hear about the funeral procession after the Jenin "massacre" when the goons dropped the "corpse" twice and after the second dump, the "corpse" got up and ran away?
Posted by: Spiny Norman at January 16, 2004 at 11:45 AMSurely the term - though I like JohnO's above, is Hamasnista.
And, just wondering, how did they find enough of her to bury?

Step 1: Strap bombs on ourselves.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Victory!

I thought the consensus in that poll was "filthy murdering terrorist scum".
Posted by: ChrisV at January 16, 2004 at 01:09 PMSTEP ONE: Send eaco of the following to all potential female homicide bombers:
1 "FunFinder" Deluxe Jelli Vibrators
1 copy of "Studs of the Israeli Armed Forces Calendar: 2004"
STEP TWO: Wait for imminent screams/moans of pleasure to echo across the West Bank
STEP THREE: Victory!
How about Bint Hamas, or Bint for short?
Bint is the Arabic for Daughter,
and is also an offensive pommie expression for woman or girl.
"BLOW UP DOLL"
Wish i said that.
"a c*unt"
couldn't agree more. Hope she doesn't mind her two kids living in the gutter now that the Israelis will now bulldoze her house.

Are they declaring war on the aliens now, too?
Posted by: Wilbur at January 16, 2004 at 03:08 PMWhy is it so hard for many in the West to believe
these people mean it when they say:
" .. will continue until the Islamic flag is raised, not only over the minarets of Jerusalem, but over the whole universe,"
THEY MEAN IT.
Whoever wants to live under the Islamic Flag, please just leave now and go live where it currently flies.
For those who want to live under our own flags, please help spread the word we are AT WAR. We can negotiate with these guys the same way we negotiated with the Nazis and Japanese .. after they totally surrender.

The Burqanator?
Burqa King?
Hijaba the Nut?
Yasser's Angels?
Martyr-F*cker?
Lots of vacancy positions for suicide bombers are opening up, and on top of that they are hiring women now. Palestine is very progressive and sensitive to women's rights; the west should copy this formula to get the job market booming again.

Jesus Christ, we gotta air-drop some Pamprin on this shithole, now.
Hey, does she score the 300+ virgin deal that the boy bombers get when they die. Was it the only way she could score some girl on girl action because we know how tolerant the Arabs are of female sexuality and lesbianism? Ooops, just lost my chat show on BBC again.
Posted by: Jehoshaphat at January 16, 2004 at 08:25 PMHamasita.
Rhymes with mamacita.
Any of you who have been to Tijuana will know just how to pronouce it.
Posted by: R C Dean at January 16, 2004 at 09:41 PMTo be PC these days, one should not distinguish gender, therefore all Hamas suicide exploders would be grouped under one term: hamacides.
Posted by: rinardman at January 16, 2004 at 10:08 PMSuicide Bombette
or
Suicide Bombina (gives it a more sassy edge)
Posted by: MGB at January 17, 2004 at 12:35 AMI can see no reason to split them from the rest of the stinking mess.
My vote is obvious = Hamassholes. All of 'em.
Posted by: The Dogger at January 17, 2004 at 06:38 AMAnybody else think the Yanks need to include these arabs in the war on terror? Wouldn't that shut the fuckers down quickly! Arafat would be gone in the hour followed by Hamas ans all those other scum.
Posted by: Jake D at January 17, 2004 at 08:18 AM"the march of resistance will continue until the Islamic flag is raised, ...over the whole universe,"
Why don't you assholes conquer the rest of the universe first and leave us puny earthlings until last. I think a moon suicide offensive would be a good start. We could help you get there, and there's lots of rocks to throw at the moonjews.
Posted by: Walid Fuqdindehed at January 17, 2004 at 11:24 PMI can't think of anything more substantive, offensive and accurate to call these nut job suicide bombers than "Muslims." Says it all.
