Al Qaeda's media wing has launched a magazine for women, mixing beauty tips with lessons in jihad, the Independent reported.

The 31-page glossy, Al-Shamikha, which translates loosely as "The Majestic Woman," features a niqab-clad woman posing with a sub-machine gun on its cover.

Much like Elle or Cosmopolitan, it includes advice on finding the right man ("marrying a mujahideen"), how to achieve a perfect complexion (stay inside with your face covered), first aid and etiquette.

Alongside sisterly advice such as "not (to) go out except when necessary" and to always wear a niqab for protection from the sun, the magazine runs interviews with martyrs' wives and praises those who give their lives in the name of the editors' interpretation of Islam. "From martyrdom, the believer will gain security, safety and happiness," it says.

基地组织发行女性杂志

       据英国《独立报》报道,“基地”组织近日发行了一本女性杂志,其中不乏指导女性如何保养皮肤和关于伊斯兰圣战的教训。

       这本厚达31页的杂志名为《Al-Shamikha》,意为“神圣的女性”。杂志封面是一名被穆斯林罩袍裹得严严实实的妇女拿着一支冲锋枪。

       和《ELLE》、《Cosmopolitan》等大多数女性时尚杂志一样,杂志建议女性要嫁对郎,即鼓励妇女嫁给圣战者。获得完美肤色的秘诀就是呆在家里并遮住脸庞。还有急救小常识、女性礼仪等内容。

       杂志还告诫女性轻易不要出门;永远穿罩袍以抵御紫外线对皮肤的伤害。杂志还化大量篇幅刊载对“圣战烈士”遗孀的采访,高度赞扬为圣战献出生命的“烈士”,称圣战的信奉者定会获得平安和幸福。
