I’m a bit curious as to whether or not you want to rethink this position-somebody talks about a woman, in this case of another religion, and you think it would be wonderful, _wonderful???_ (i.e., something full of wonder) if an entire religion did not hate you, and whoever else you include in your ‘we’?  
I can assure you that I have substantially more Islamic friends/ex-gfs than you have, and that they would not despise me for this, but they may resent your profiling them as haters because of my lusting after ‘their’ women. Or, perhaps marginalizing this woman as a ‘terrorist’s mom’, thus robbing her of her sex, because of something her son did.

No!!! Do not make love to me in the oppressive Crusader “missionary position”, make love to me _the Chechen way_.

I’m pretty sure it began that way, actually. (And I actually haven’t been riding that recent bandwagon.)

For whatever reason, I’d have been right on board if she was described as “beautiful,” because I do agree she is. But “hottie” and “uberhot” and “smoking hot babe”…no, no, she isn’t. Those are very particular descriptors drenched in sexual objectification connotations which don’t, at all, fit the pictures or the woman in them. Not every woman is attractive because she’s fuckable.

“Very particular descriptors”??? Wow, I must secretly hate women if I use ‘very particular descriptors’. Didn’t even know it myself, but your keen eye and pleasant manner brought me to myself.  
BTW, who the fuck are you to pass judgement and declare that a woman may not be attractive because she’s fuckable?? I think that the terms are MOL interchangeable. Who wants to fuck somebody that’s repellant?? Knock off the shit. You say the woman can be described as beautiful, but not a hottie? Snap out of it.  
Listen, the thread doesn’t need CSI/SDMB agents. We don’t even need any wannabe Clarice Starlings on this. You don’t know shit about what I’m thinking other than what is in the thread, and 3 or 4 “very particular descriptors” are not enough to make any assessments with. Seriously.  
Please, read and respond to the OP, not to some incorporeal beast from your sad pasts, or unhappy presents.  
If you want to audition for Criminal Minds, please see a Hollywood agent or your nearest PD!

I’m pretty sure you’re wrong.  
And, yes you were riding that bandwagon. You were just waiting for an opportune moment to spout your hatred. And, try to show your great powers of profiling the women-haters of the world, who secretly want to rape women into subjection, and impose the glass ceiling on them.  
I mean, who else would drench?

Good grief- does everything have to _mean_ something? I think she’s very (physically) attractive. Same with her sons. I say “attractive” right now; next time I might say “cute”, “handsome”, “beautiful”, “hot”, “fine”, “smokin’”, “pretty”, or “comely”. To me they are all ways of saying the same thing: I enjoy this person’s physical appearance. That’s it. No implied “fuckability”, likability, or anything else.

will do! here are some more entries for the “terror-list,” which is what I have decided to call it. i will focus more on domestic perpetrators this time, since I don’t want to give anybody the impression that I am a racist!

[timothy mcveigh](https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gs_rn=11&gs_ri=psy-ab&tok=jwYSqIDmo0mfhmKRC4l2xg&pq=terrorists&cp=11&gs_id=bd&xhr=t&q=timothy+mcveigh&safe=off&client=firefox-a&hs=j3G&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.45645796,d.cGE&biw=1280&bih=596&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=sqV9UZqaMISLiAKtp4GwBA). a clean-cut, nondescript boy from upstate NY, you can almost smell the barbasol wafting from his pics–glamor shots they most certainly ain’t! but behind those eyes, can’t you see shades of the unrequited lust smoldering within? if so, you’re right on target: according to his authorized biography, “his only sustaining relief from his unsatisfied sex drive was his even stronger desire to die.” betcha that means he could go all night! **7.5/10**

[ted kaczynski](https://www.google.com/search?q=ted+kaczynski&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=3ad9UYeFMIb9iQKmnoH4Dg&biw=1280&bih=596&sei=36d9UbrvJ4qDiwKo54CACg). a philosopher, an adjunct professor, a self-styled revolutionary… all impressive titles, but ladies, can you honestly say you would let your coochies loose anywhere near this ungroomed, wild-eyed beast? I know I would never! the famous [speculatory police sketch](http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-unabombers-manifesto-theodore-kaczynski-the-unabomber/1003452321) of this maniac mail-bomber certainly set us up for a disappointment… instead of the stylish hoodie, cool shades and neatly-trimmed 'stache we were all counting on, when the Unabomber was decisively identified, the face he greeted us with was less John Cleese on a snowy winter day and more Harry Knowles after a long struggle with depression—and that news ain’t cool at all. **3/10**

Because the meaning of “Islamist” is “one who wants to impose a strict version of Islam on others”. It’s not a synonym for “Muslim”.

That’s nice. So what makes you think all “Islamists” make their women wear burqas?

as you can see, there’s only so much one can say about how prong-worthy one finds any particular person before one begins to feel like maybe there is something a little wrong with them. that’s why this thread has expanded in scope to include hard-nosed evaluations of the bodily bodaciousness of a wide variety of terrorist sympathizers! any requests?

Nope, but how about another thread from another person with similar…um…interests?

Here’s a secret hint: “Islamists” don’t all have the same conception of the fundamentals of Islam! Golly gee!

It appears you have a problem reading for comprehension.

It’s close enough that it doesn’t matter. They are woman hating terrorist scum, the details aren’t important.

I don’t see how that thread is at all similar to this one, **Fenris**. This thread is about a woman! Osama bin Laden wasn’t a woman, silly!
