I'm sure most of you have heard the term "Lipstick Lesbian". I don't think it's an offensive term in and of itself, but it does imply a great deal of prejudice against those lesbians who wouldn't be included in the term.
Well, now there are "Lipstick Jihadis".
I realize for many of our members this is going to feel... linked... to the shootings in Salt Lake City - and that's fine, everyone is entitled to their opinions. I wouldn't post it if I felt that way, though, just so you know. I consider this something completely different.
There's a craze among Bosniak youth, just as there is among Croat and Serb youth, to associate with the most offensive manifestations of their people's nationalism. Croat kids will give the Nazi salute at football games, Serb kids will call themselves Cetniks all day long, and Bosniak kids will do this... act like jihadis.
The thing is, they don't really do it "right". Teenage Bosnian girls with their skimpy outfits and bright make-up will walk around with a bandana over their mouths, barely able to walk in their high heels, and call for jihad against a rival highschool one valley over - lol...
It hasn't led to any incidents of violence yet, except of course making that violence come sooner in situations it was probably going to happen anyway - football matches, for example.
But anyhow, what do you think about this? I always find it unusual when people associate with those who would kill them. Any normal Jihadi would cut off these girls' heads.
These people are from Kozarac, by the way - where my family comes from (both sides).
