Terrorists see Women as to weak to rule countries

"It’s no wonder why the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wassallam) said, “The nation that has entrusted its affairs to a woman cannot be successful.” Aside from a woman’s weakness of her period and the affects it has on her (as has been proven scientifically), the pressure around her will be so great and momentous that it will be easy for her to make an enormous mistake that is rooted in her emotional veins. If Clinton is elected as President, it would be good for the Ummah. Why? Because America would crumble very fast. "

This puts forth a very intresting point of view from the terrroist perspective that women are not an enemy because they are weak. If muslims extremists see women as so weak how can we use that to a counter-terroist tool ?

I don't think there is much of a benefit in their belief in the inequality of men and women. The best I could see is that a woman would possibly be able to infiltrate a terririst organization, because they feel superior to females. But the danger would be that they wouldn't really trust a woman with vital information seeing as they feel woman are unworthy. Not sure if it would be benificial...

It's also hard for me to see any way that this view of inequality could be used as a counter-terrorism tool. One thing that I thought of, though, is that women leaders in countries throughout the world could be underestimated by these terrorist groups. Because they see women as inferior, they might believe that these female officials are incapable of fulfilling the duties of their offices, and thus easily defeated. Women in leadership positions might also anger members of terrorist groups, as they have this vision of inequality. Overall, I can see how this outlook could effect terrorist actions, but I can't think of a way in which we could use this to our advantage.

Who was it that said this? You have quotations, but it doesn't say who the quote is from.

David, if Hilary Clinton were elected President I do not think her periods and "emotional veins" are going to destroy our nation . Men can feel the political pressure just as much as women and are just as susceptible to making "enormous" mistakes. I do not think Clinton would make a good President, but that is because of her foreign and domestic agenda not because she is female.
