Islamic Non-Feminism

Three German women who were among a group of nine foreigners kidnapped in Yemen last Friday are reported to have been killed, in what seems like a violent conclusion to another hostage drama in the poor and unstable Arab country.


That's all? Poor and unstable? Or Muslim?

A high-ranking official in the Yemeni Interior Ministry told Germany's DPA news agency that the bodies were found in the Saada province and that the women had been shot. A local security official, meanwhile, told the Associated Press that the bodies had been mutilated.

Meanwhile, AP reported on Monday that a Yemeni security official had said that the other six hostages, including three children, had now also been found dead.
