Did They Meet at Her Prom or What?
Ex-mass-murderer Abu Mousab al-Zarqawi’s wife, who died with him, was reportedly all of 16 years old.
I mean, I have a 16 year old daughter myself.
Sheesh.
N.B. If our vaunted MSM were really on top of things, as they like to pretend, we would have the full story as to how this monster came into possession of a 16 year old girl as “wife.” They could delve into the likelihood, for example, that the girl’s family gave her to the monster, and that it was probably not her idea.
But why waste time with accurate portrayals of who these people really are? We have U.S. servicemen’s lives to ruin, no time for that.
And besides, it would be “insensitive.”
UPDATE
More information on the monster’s pre-death existence, from Wikipedia:
Time magazine reported that Zarqawi’s 16-year-old wife was among those killed in his assassination[3]. Al-jazeera reported that among the dead was Zarqawi’s 18-month-old son. [4]. Based on the ages of the mother and child, Zarqawi was 38 years old when he consummated his marriage to the unnamed 14-year-old woman.

UPDATE 2
Daisy Cutter notices that Time magazine doesn’t have a lot to say about the death of Mrs. Monster and her child, and he gives a very good opinion as to the reason why.

Even the euphemism is horrendous: “child brides” (Mohammed had one, too). I have to think even the moral relativists in MSM shudder at these things, but then I’ve seen so little discussion of it. Thanks for posting, and thanks btw for the link to my site.

Actually, now that I think about it, how old was she when they were married?

I believe there was a report that they had an 18-month-old child together. However, since I’m sure the monster practiced polygamy, it is unclear whether that child was indeed the offspring of this particular wife.
The “leopard-print nightgown” was a nice touch, too, btw. Not many 16 year olds go out in such style.
