You forget, Ray and MEM, that we are trying to look at this from the perspective of what a member of Al Quaeda would think.

Those individuals are, of course, radical Muslims, practictioners of a belief system that generally holds women as inferior to, if not property of, men.

Less importance, less motive to kill her.
