Is it racist to keep referring to this white female as "the white widow".

Most white women who have lost their black partner would not be called a 'white widow'. So the term has definite racial connotations in this instance. Samantha Lewthwaite (in some of the media's eyes) is not the norm (a white female terrorist) and a nasty piece of work.

I think this one depends on which side of the racist fence you sit.

Having thought about it a bit more it can't be racist as you can't be racist against your own race. The term 'white widow' seems to come from the Daily Mail, The Sun etc.

This woman is becoming something of a celebrity. It's rather odd how the fame/infamy thing gets blurred when there is a bit of intrigue involved.

Nothing a 9mm bullet at close range won't cure.

According to Wikipedia:

"An Islamic marriage ceremony was conducted for the couple but the ceremony had no legal status because it was not conducted in a mosque or licensed place and they were never officially registered as man and wife"

Technically if they weren't married she's not a widow.

Apparently she is chopping kids heads off and smearing her face in their blood, is that in the Geneva convention?

No mosques in this country are able to perform legally recognised marriages. You have to have a register office do as well.

Yeah, of course she is... A convenient whipping girl for the press. Funny how on one hand we are told that all women are second class citizens in Islam and have to be subservient to men and yet apparently all these Islamists are happy to take orders from a white British convert woman from County Down.

Where is she getting these bloody grenades from eh?
