Ok I’ve seen that picture of the one lady on the left like a million times, do we actually know who she is?
Because the idea of a woman being a fighter in a fundamentalist Mujihideen kinda seems out of place when you think of it.

Palestinian suicide bomber who killed herself and 4 Israelis in 2004.
I think this is misconception. In history you can read about contribution of women fighters in islam. Here is one of the oldest “Nusaybah bint Ka’ab”
There are more if you would like to search.
The islamic history is interesting, you will find many “progressive” things compare to today “extremist muslims”.
