Black Widow bomber was trained actress and dancer. She blew up this week.
The Moscow Times reported:
The female suicide bomber that killed prominent Dagestani cleric Said Atsayev earlier this week had been a theater actress and member of a breakdance troupe before joining the republic’s Islamist movement, national media reported Thursday.
Aminat Kurbanova, born with the ethnic Russian surname Saprykina, graduated from Dagestan State University’s drama school in Makhachkala and went on to work in the city’s Russian-language Gorky Theater, Kommersant reported, citing an unspecified law enforcement source.
Together with her first husband, fellow actor Marat Kurbanov, she also was a member of a local breakdance ensemble that called itself “Snatch,” the report said.
A number of videos of Snatch performances are available on YouTube, but none show female participants.
A video published by the Lifenews.ru tabloid website showed a woman resembling Kurbanova performing a classical dance with a man at an unidentified location.
Reports said Kurbanova converted to Islam after marriage and became a member of Dagestan’s radical Islamist insurgency after her husband was killed in an anti-terrorism operation in 2009.
Kurbanova subsequently married twice, and her last husband, Magomed Ilyasov, died when handling a self-made bomb, the state-run RIADagestan.ru news site reported.
Ilyasov is suspected of organizing a double suicide attack that killed two policemen and injured almost 30 in the Dagestani town of Gubden in February 2011. The two bombers were later identified as Vitaly Razdobudko and his wife Maria Khoroshyova, thought to be the first ethnic Slavs to carry out suicide attacks.
Investigators had put Kurbanova on a list of potentially dangerous persons last year, and she was erroneously thought to be a participant in a twin suicide car bomb that killed at least 13 people and wounded over 100 in Makhachkala this May, the Kommersant report said.

Aminat Kurbanova killed a moderate Muslim cleric this week.

Doesn’t look like the same women. What evil and brainwashing does to these people. Hate and evil has a dirty and ugly look.

While Napolitano targets soccer moms, grandmas and business professionals as “dangerous radicals” due to their Tea Party association, something is seriously wrong with a religion that is able to convert educated young women into outcomes like these.
bear commented:
Just so I understand, the term “moderate muslim cleric” refers to those who only teach, finance and cheer on the actual murderers.
I have yet to converse with, or even hear of, a muslim cleric who supports the existence of Israel, or who supports our Constitution. Much the same as our president.
Marsh626 commented:
One must question the sanity of muslims in Russia. Don’t they know the history of why their ancestors became muslims?
The muslim hordes launched numerous jihad invasions into Russia. Swaths of Russians were essentially forced to convert in order to avoid ceaseless islamic aggression.
Then most vomit inducing of all, their children’s children launch their own savage islamic jihads against their own previously Christian Slavic brothers and sisters.
And this worthless piece of crap even willingly converted to that depraved religion so she could carry out a suicide bombing on the “infidels” (her extended family).
I hate islam. I don’t carry how politically incorrect that is to state. I despise it with every cell in my body. It routinely twists people into fanatical monsters.
And worst still, Russia is shockingly estimated to become a muslim majority country around 2050… God help us.

the number one colonizer group coming to the united states during the obama presidency is ?. you guessed it because they have such a long history of wanting to come to and such a deep affection for the united states.

Kill them all, let GOD sort

… perhaps she would better have embraced the Russian Orthodox faith and staged some sort of a “P U * S Y R I O T”… (?!??)….
Robodog7 commented:
I don’t understand how being a dancer figures into the story? Perhaps she was more graceful as her body parts flew through the air?
A better title would have been that she had a long association with homicide bombers and terrorists. After all, her fisrt husband was killed in a terrorist raid and her second husband blew himself up while making bombs.

John Walker Lindh: A Terrorist Manipulating Islam,
Aided by Western Islamists and their Sympathizers
==

re: #13 September 1, 2012 at 7:40 am bg
John Walker Lindh, infamously serving a 20-year prison sentence for aiding
the Taliban, is now seeking new ways to insult the United States, including
insulting the many liberty-minded Muslims who value our nation’s freedoms.
The prison where Lindh is held has had a generous policy for its many
Muslim prisoners. Until they were disciplined for not responding to a
fire alarm, the prisoners were permitted to gather in congregation for
three of the five daily prayers. Now, the prisoners are only permitted
to gather for the Friday afternoon “jummah” prayer.
Lindh is not satisfied with this accommodation of his religious beliefs and
practices. He has asserted that the prison’s restriction on gathering for
prayer is an infringement on his religious rights, and that he must gather
with other Muslims for the daily prayers. He has even brought his case
to court, suing the Federal Bureau of Prisons for the right to pray in
congregation more than once per week.
Islam does not require Muslims to perform their daily prayers in
congregation, and allows for Muslims to miss the Friday prayers
if circumstances make attending them impossible. Imam Ammar
Amonette of Richmond, Virginia has commented on Lindh’s case,
affirming this widely-known Islamic guideline. Despite this, Lindh
continues to insist that he receive special treatment.
This kind of arrogance is no surprise coming from a notorious terrorist
convicted of numerous crimes against the United States and innocent
people everywhere. It is also a hallmark of the Islamist mindset, which
seeks to use the freedom and reason of the West in its quest to defeat
it. Islamists relish the opportunity to demand even accommodations
well outside of mainstream Islamic practice: niqabs (face-veils) in the
courtroom, extra congregational prayers for terrorists. Islamists make
these absurd demands with full knowledge that they act against both
non-Muslims and the majority of Muslims worldwide. They view their
mission as a holy war, in which they seek to defeat all people who
believe in freedom and the preservation of human rights. To them, no
sacrifice is too great – and those Muslims who won’t fight alongside
them are primary targets.
This is not the first time Islamists in the prison system have petitioned
for special privileges: in 2009, Randall T. Moyer (a former spokesman for
the Muslim American Society, or MAS and member of the “Virginia Jihad
Network”) was housed in the same prison as John Walker Lindh, and also
sued the Federal Bureau of Prisons for additional congregational prayer
rights. Louay Safi, former director of leadership development for the
Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), backed Moyer’s request, saying
that Moyer’s demands followed the “prophetic tradition,” and that
Muhammad promised greater rewards to those who pray in congregation.
(Read more about Safi and his career in ISNA’s leadership here and here.)
The ACLU is defending Lindh, and they may be well-intentioned in doing so.
We certainly support protecting civil rights for all Americans. By choosing
to support Lindh, however, the ACLU seems to be trying to support an
identity group – Muslims – but are instead supporting Lindh’s Islamist
interpretation of Islam, which actually subjugates individual Muslims and
restricts their rights. Islamism doesn’t value individual liberty, freedom of
expression, or civil rights.
As liberty-minded Muslims, we are intensely grateful for the freedoms
granted we enjoy in the United States, where we are freer to practice
our faith than we would be anywhere else in the world. We believe
that John Walker Lindh’s demands for greater privileges are not just
unreasonable, but also dangerous. He, like other Islamists, seeks to
define Islam as a faith utterly incompatible with modernity, freedom,
and human rights. We urge those who may be swayed by Lindh’s
argument to recognize that they may be setting a dangerous precedent
by helping to advance a jihadist’s interpretation of Islam, which seeks
to strip us of the very liberties that make us who we are.

Real simple, even success is not a bulwark against radicalization. The Left constantly says the main reason why Muslims go radical is being poor and uneducated. Too bad for that narrative that many of the high profile jihadis, the 9/11 hijackers come to mind, are quite well educated and successful.

the times square bomber was also a college graduate
JDubya commented:
The West should give Islam one chance to remain:
1. Move to some area of the World (Middle East).
2. Stay there indefinitely.
The West will not trade with nor provide any tribute to ever again.
If Islam attempts to break out or “wage jihad”, then it will receive a Death Disco under Manmade Suns and then cease to exist.
Pretty simple.
The West should bow to no other ideology.
That is what should be the litmus test for any future leader.

“Death Disco under Manmade Suns”
Never heard it put quite that way but I like it.
anti-bho commented:
in that picture she looks like she was kinda short fused anyway and shouldn’t have been doing the bombs thing.
RKae commented:
If she was a trained actress then she should know: you’re just supposed to “break a leg”; you never want to “bomb!”
