Not at all. In light of the rather silly claim that all women and
children should be considered civilians, I was merely pointing out that
in that region, women have been known to do some rather nasty damage.
The comment had nothing to do with their being Arab, Israeli or
Christian, but rather being women. Only someone intent on yelling
'Racist!' would think that it was code for anything.
If you are aware that women can be as violent as men, why make the
remarkably silly claim that all women should be considered civilians?
