Jihad's Women ........ ''I named my son Osama because I want to make him a mujahid.
Right now there is war, but he is a child. When he is a young man, there might be war again, and I will prepare him for that war. In the name of God, I will sacrifice my son, and I don't care if he is my most beloved thing. For all of my six sons, I wanted them to be mujahedeen. If they get killed it is nothing. This world is very short. I myself want to be a mujahid. What will I do in this world? I could be in heaven, have a weekly meeting with God.
Shumailia Kiran, 12, center, learning the first five chapters
of the Koran at the Mohamadia Mujadadia Izhar-ul-Koran
madrassah.
"Osama is not involved because he is a Muslim, and Muslims
are not capable of such a terrorist act. He is a mujahid and is
supposed to fight on the path of God."
Munaza Kanwam, 10, at her Koran ceremony at the
Mohamadia Mujadadia Izhar-ul-Koran madrassah.
"I am very happy. I feel like a bride. My father gave me a
20-gram gold set, my grandmother has sewn my clothes and
my hair band, and my mother has sewn me two new suits. I
have received a lot of gifts. I think Osama is a great man, and
he is fighting America."
