When the bombers are women - and children, which I predict we'll see more of - the terrorists get more bang for their buck, because there's more media attention.

The issue of motherhood is no longer salient. In fact, the very first female bomber for Hamas posed in her last will and testament video with her two kids.

I did a study of soldiers returning from Iraq, and their levels of PTSD were much higher if they had had to shoot a woman or child, even if they knew the person was a suicide bomber.

Misuse of the Koran to provide legitimacy for violence is common, particularly in Europe, where terrorists tend not to be well-educated Muslims.

Women are secretaries of state and prime ministers - but people still don't expect women to be involved in violence.

It's cheap, and you have a thinking, breathing bomb that can adjust to circumstances and cross the street to hit another target if the original one doesn't look good.

With a civilian target, female bombers tend to be more successful and cause more damage.

Acts perpetrated by women, particularly attractive women, get far more media attention.

A lot of movements use women's involvement to shame men when recruitment is sagging.

The terrorists provide an outlet where with just one action, a raped woman can go from being a source of dishonour to her family to being a source of pride in a culture of martyrdom.

There's our excuse... we'll blame everything on the round-headed kid!

Life is not a competition.

If you love too much, you lose yourself.If you love too little, you never find yourself.

Journalism is not a precise science, it's a crude art

Half of architecture students are women, and you see respected, established female architects all the time.

Ever since the invention of the camera, people have been trying to create 3D, because we see things in 3D, and everyone's aware that the camera doesn't.

Faith means being sure of what we hope for now. It means knowing something is real, this moment, all around you, even when you don't see it.

If you want to end your isolation, you must be honest about what you want at a core level and decide to go after it.

Without Satan, with God only, how poor a universe, how trite a music!
