Brides Of ISIL
Beginning in 2012, dozens of girls and women traveled to Iraq and Syria to join the Islamic State (IS), becoming brides of Islamic State fighters. While some traveled willingly, others were brought to Iraq and Syria as minors by their parents or family. Many of those women subsequently acquired high public profiles, either through their efforts to recruit more volunteers, when they died or because they recanted and wished to return to their home countries. Commentators have noted that it will be hard to differentiate between the women who played an active role in atrocities and those who were stay-at-home housewives.

Al-Khansaa Brigade
The Al-Khansaa Brigade ( ar, لواء الخنساء) was an all-women police or religious enforcement unit of the jihadist group Islamic State (IS), operating in its ''de facto'' capital of Raqqa and Mosul. History The brigade was formed in early 2014 and apparently named after Al-Khansa, a female Arabic poet from the earliest days of Islam, it is unclear how widespread and sustained the group is. It was unique in the Muslim world where in other regimes with similar systems of religious police (such as Saudi Arabia) men enforce hisbah among women, and its lack of spread outside of the capital Raqqa, led at least one observer to wonder if it was a publicity "stunt" that would be “short-lived". An IS official, Abu Ahmad, said in 2014, "We have established the brigade to raise awareness of our religion among women, and to punish women who do not abide by the law." The outfit has also been called IS's 'moral police'. Women who went out without a male chaperone or were not fully ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
