What Makes Chechen Women So Dangerous? (NY Times)

Regardless the prohibition of killing innocent people, but what really amazed me their justification to their occupation against our brothers and sisters in Chechen!!

The three of us, in our work for the Chicago Project on Security and Terrorism, have analyzed every Chechen suicide attack since they began in 2000, 42 separate incidents involving 63 people who killed themselves. Many Chechen separatists are Muslim, but few of the suicide bombers profess religious motives. The majority are male, but a huge fraction — over 40 percent — are women. Although foreign suicide attackers are not unheard of in Chechnya, of the 42 for whom we can determine place of birth, 38 were from the Caucasus. Something is driving Chechen suicide bombers, but it is hardly global jihad.

As we have discovered in our research on Lebanon, the West Bank, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and elsewhere, suicide terrorist campaigns are almost always a last resort against foreign military occupation. Chechnya is a powerful demonstration of this phenomenon at work.

Assalaam walaikum,

I noticed that the three working on the project were non-Muslims. It would be more robust if there were Muslims involved in this analysis. The article was sketchy. What are the parameters. What are you comparing. Who did you study. What was the sample size. And most importantly..who is funding the project.
