Islamic State: Women who join discover 'harsh realities'

Young women travelling to Syria to join Islamic State often end up "domestically isolated in severe conditions", new research claims.
UK-led research suggests that the women do not join with the intention of becoming "jihadi brides", but often end up facing "harsh realities".
The report also says the recruits are increasingly younger and come from comfortable and educated backgrounds.
An estimated 4,000 Westerners have joined IS, including some 550 women.

The joint report by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue and the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation at King's College London says women are far from passive agents, with some involved in aspects of IS life including propaganda and recruitment.

But it suggests that, whatever women's reasons for joining IS, their "first and foremost" responsibility will actually be "to be a good wife to the jihadist husband to who they are betrothed and to become a mother to the next generation of jihadism".

(continued, all so mysterious the ISIS woman - ah, a baby - the mystery explained....))

, we need 'new research' to know that women joining daesh are there to serve as sex slaves?

[JimC]

Just another version of the "bad boy attraction" syndrome...

Women love to marry a soldier/doctor (someone with many scalps)

Silly, innit? Not that I'd mind a couple of obedient female slaves, but I just can't get past the "No Pig or Beer" rule. What good is having sex slaves if it costs a man his bacon and bitter?

I'll never renounce my pork and booze, even if I have to remain celibate
it's not like the islamic community will play matchmaker for you anyway

When I lived in Cairo my maid offered her niece as my "Cairo wife", subject to certain financial incentives, of course. Stunningly gorgeous girl, spoke about ten words of English, none of which was "no". I said I was already married, she said I could have four wives if I were muslim. All I needed to do was say "I am muslim" in front of witnesses and BINGO I was a muslim. I told her it wouldn't hold up in the states, so I couldn't take her back with me. She said that was no problem, as a Cairo wife was only for Cairo, and besides, the niece had been married once before to a really, really, really old dude who couldn't get it up and she needed a good shagging on a regular basis. She laughed when I said I didn't want to give up bacon and booze, and said nobody cared about that nonsense. I said "I am muslim" and got my Cairo wife for $200 U.S. a month. It was fucking brilliant.

lucky you

do you hold ramadhan? are you hajji?

I mean, I hear Mecca is gorgeous, and if I were to simulate being a muslim, I'd certainly not miss circling the ka'aba.

I agree. Can't beat a good crushing to death. I wonder, does being squished during a hajj count as martyrdom? It would really suck to miss out on your virgins cos some wanker shouted "pork" and started a stampede!

who needs to go during high pilgrimage season?

Well they spend their time being told by the left and feminists how evil and oppressive the West is. I mean who wants to live under a made up patriarchy, rape culture when you can go and live under the real thing. Still try and get a lefty or feminist to condemn ISIS. Though it is the righties who are misogynistic.
