ISIS Female Jihadist Manifesto: Women Should Be Veiled and Hidden

The latest manifesto from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria is aimed at females, who are allowed to marry at nine, since they are the "most pure" at that age, but definitely by 16 or 17, basically espouses the whole keep 'em barefoot and pregnant mentality.

... all women should consider motherhood the purpose of their existence, according to a manifesto attributed to an all-female branch of the Islamic State (IS) militant group.

The Quilliam Foundation, a UK-based anti-terrorism think-tank, said the text states women should be hidden and veiled, stay at home and shun fashion boutiques and beauty salons as the work of the devil. Produced by the Al-Khanssaa Brigade, the manifesto reveals a more sober picture of what is expected of Muslim women than the accounts of Western female jihadists who have exaggerated their role on social media, the foundation, which translated the document into English, said. “Just as they have sexed up what it is to be a women living in the so-called caliphate, this document dresses it down.

Women, it is unambiguously stated, are homemakers and mothers,” the foundation said in concluding remarks to its translation. “The matters of adventure and excitement, themes most used by female Western recruiters trying to recruit young girls to IS, are the realm of men,” it added.

The document, which first appeared last month in Arabic, sets out what is permitted in terms of education and work. From seven to nine, girls should learn religion, Quranic Arabic and science. From 10 to 12, there should be more studies relating to Islamic sharia law on marriage and divorce in addition to knitting and cooking.

The manifesto indicates that a girl’s education ends at the age of 15. It states that a woman may leave the house if she going to study theology, if she is a woman doctor or teacher and if it has been ruled by fatwa that she must fight jihad or holy war.

Study Finds Western ISIS Women Are Not Victims They Are As Driven As Male Counterparts

There are at least 550 foreign female jihadists who have made their way to Syria and Iraq, and according to a study these women are not victims, they are just as driven and dangerous as their male counterparts.

Western women who join Islamic State militants are driven by the same ideological passion as many male recruits and should be seen as potentially dangerous cheerleaders, not victims, experts said. A new study out on Wednesday said the estimated 550 women who have travelled to Iraq and Syria are expected to marry, keep house and bear children.

Despite being banned from fighting, the study found they were active propagandists for the cause. “The violent language and dedication to the cause is as strong as we find in some of the men,” said extremism expert Ross Frenett of the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, who coauthored the new report. “The worry is that as ISIS (the IS group) loses ground, as everyone hopes it does, that more and more of these women will transfer from the domestic world they’re in now to a more violent one,” he told AFP.

Much has been written about young women going to become “jihadist brides”, but the prevailing narrative of wide-eyed recruits drawn by a sense of excitement belies the importance of their own faith and passions.

Although Frenett and co are monitoring a slew of female jihadists on social media, and there are a plenty- they chose only 12 women living in Syria and Iraq to focus on. They are from the U.K., Canada, France and the Netherlands.

Some of the women endorsed the bloody beheadings carried out by the militants — “I wish I did” it, one said after US journalist Steven Sotloff was killed — as well as railing against Western governments and the suffering of Muslims. “My best friend is my grenade ... It’s an American one too. May Allah allow me to kill their Kanzeer [pig] soldiers with their own weapons,” one said. Crucially, the women also provide advice and encouragement to other women thinking of joining. “They’re actively recruiting women and providing them with assistance advice and referrals to go to ISIS-held territory,” said Frenett.

So, better beware when those women claim they have had enough of ISIS and want to go home.

ISIS Publishes Mommy's Guide To Raising Jihadi Babies

ISIS has allegedly published a mother's guide to raising future jihadis.

"The Islamic State has released a guidebook for young mothers with “helpful tips” on how to raise a Mujahid Child, outlining techniques they believe will develop the body and jihadi spirit of the new generation of extremist fighters.

Entitled Sister’s Role in Jihad, the latest propaganda move by the extremist organization tries to convince their loyal followers that the “most important” role women can play in Jihad is to raise their kids “not only in spirit”, but also to develop their physical ability and training.

The key to success, IS argues lies in introducing these values in them while they are babies. “Don't wait until they are seven to start, for it may be too late by then!,” the handbook that recently surfaced online states.

It encourages the jihadi mothers to tell bedtime stories about extremist fighters, while completely banning TV, which the guide says results in “mental and physical loss.” The only thing it allows, is the use of multimedia that will strengthen their “jihadi spirit.”

Instead of the Muslim equivalent to "Green Eggs and Ham", they're being told to share with their kiddies military books with pictures, and to check out videos, CDs, and websites etc. And we know what that means. Videos of beheadings. That's the mind control aspect of the training. Then there's the physical training.

In addition, the handbook advises mothers to make “a makeshift enemy” or a punching bag for building the child's strength and to “control and direct their anger.”

In terms of physical training, IS encourages mothers to introduce their young ones to “target-shooting”, through toy guns and toy military sets. The Islamic State argues that darts, for instance, develops a good hand-eye coordination. Adding military games, the guidebook says, should increase the toddler’s interest in military matters and will allow practice time of mothers in front of their kids using their toys.

IS also believes that complete child soldiers should also be able to perform martial arts, be capable swimmers, drivers and horse-back riders with refined archery skills. Ability to navigate oneself in an unfamiliar environment is also expected, with camping encouraged.

Then again, the Palestinians have been doing this for decades.

Al-Qaeda Planning To Blow Up 5 European Bound Passenger Planes Over Christmas

The U.K. is bracing for terror strikes, and has strong intel that Al-Qaeda is planning to blow up five passenger planes headed to Europe over Christmastime:

The warning comes as Whitehall officials admit that a terror strike on the UK is now "almost inevitable" particularly with British jihadis returning from fighting alongside the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

An airport security source told the Sunday Express: "We've been told that five planes are being targeted in a high profile hit before Christmas. They've been waiting for the big one.

"We have many scares but this one nearly got hand baggage pulled from all airlines. The threat is still alive and real."

The plot, which has been known about for the past two months, is thought to involve Islamists smuggling bombs on to planes bound for major European destinations before Christmas.

They may ban electronics, including cellphones, from carry-on baggage, if the baggage itself is not outright banned.

And there is talk about sleeper cells, many of whom could be white, blue-eyed, blond-haired converts, and middle-class females.

Dr. Leivesley, a former Home Office risk adviser, said that terrorists are now more likely to be "white, blond and blue eyed" who are radicalized in as little as five weeks.

She also claimed that female terrorists were becoming a significant risk, adding: "Crime profiling shows that white, middle class women, who are better than averagely educated, are susceptible to the terrorist narrative.

"They see themselves at the forefront of attempts to change the world and are represent a very dangerous tool for the terrorists.

Britain should really do something about people like hate-preachers and ISIS sympathizers like Anjem Choudary, or that country is headed for major disasters.

ISIS Jihadists Eat Pancakes?

Apparently Islamic State of Iraq and Syria jihadists have time to nosh on pancakes when they're not out there beheading or crucifying innocent people.  Maybe they get a big stack 'o pancakes before they blow themselves up. But jihadi brides now have a recipe for flapjacks to feed to their terrorist hubbies in order to “extend the energy and power of the Mujahideen (fighters).”

The recipe, which can be found online, was posted by al-Zawra- a faction of ISIS which helps “prepare sisters for the battlefield for jihadists.”  Al-Zawra also shares handy tips on how to be a good jihadi bride.

 " [it] uses social media to guide wives of ISIS militants in domestic work such as sewing and cooking, medical first aid, Islam, Sharia law and weaponry."

The recipe, according to Al Arabiya:

One egg
One cup of milk
One tablespoon of oil
One cup of flour
Four tablespoons of sugar
and 4 teaspoons of salt.

Really? 4 teaspoons of salt? Maybe they'll all die from high blood pressure.

They're to be served for breakfast or dinner with honey.

3 Missing Denver Girls Headed To Turkey Detained In Germany

Three teens from Denver, Colorado, two of Somali descent, the third from Sudan who disappeared from home were found and deported from Frankfurt, Germany.

Relatives and other sources told VOA’s Somali Service the girls left Denver and flew to Frankfurt via Chicago. Family members alerted Denver authorities who contacted their German counterparts.

Two of the girls are sisters of ethnic Somali origin and are 15 and 16 years old. The third girl is from Sudan - her age is not yet known. It is not yet clear where they ultimately were heading, but one of the young girls reportedly told German authorities, “We are going to Turkey to study.”

The girls have since spoken to their relatives and are due to arrive back home later Sunday.

The girls, of Somali Muslim descent, just disappear one day without their parents' consent, headed for Turkey, and no-one thinks they might just be headed to join the Islamic State as jihadi brides.  Right.

I'm sure the girls will receive a slap on the hands and that's it.

A Few French Jewish Converts To Islam Have Joined ISIS

According to an official in the French government, of the 1,000 or so known people that have traveled to Syria to join the Islamic State (ISIS) a few of them are allegedly Jews, including one of the 100 or so young females who have made their way over there.

Citing figures compiled by the French Interior Ministry, the official on Monday said intelligence shows there are people "of Jewish extraction," some of whom converted to Islam, among those who joined the jihadist group.

The official emphasized that there are only a small handful of Jews among the IS recruits – not enough to consider it a trend.

The revelation comes just days after reports surfaced that a French Jewish teenager was among the approximately 100 young women who have left France to join jihad in Syria during the past year and a half.

That is, if the information is true. However, some in the French Jewish community doubt it, claiming there is no proof.

Meyer Habib, a Jewish member of the French parliament, said the suspected jihadis were the topic of conversation among France's Jewish community. However, he claimed, there is no official proof they actually joined IS.

If a Jewish girl did join the Islamic State, "it really is the end of the world" and complicates matters, Habib told Channel 2.

A rabbi had this to say:

 "It is inconceivable that this would happen. There are many rumors swirling and we hope an official source will update us. Some say the Jewish girl converted, and that is also disconcerting."

Disconcerting, yes, but inconceivable?  No. There are many Jews who have unbelievably converted to Islam, but they do exist. Look at Joseph Cohen, now known as Yousef al-Khattab that Orthodox Jew who converted to Islam along with his wife and kids, and was a co-founder of the extremist Revolution Muslim.  There's even a jews-for-allah.org with a list of testimonies by Jewish converts to Islam. Google Jewish converts to Islam, or a search on Youtube, and you'll find a plethora of information and videos.

Austrian ISIS Jihad "Poster Girls" Want To Go Home

Remember those stupid Austrian girls- 17-year-old Samra Kesinovic, and 15-year-old Sabina Selimovic who disappeared from their homes in Vienna back in April, resurfacing in Raqqa, Syria, after joining the Islamic State? Well, it appears that after getting married and knocked up, the pregnant  teens want to go home. Living the jihadi lifestyle wasn't quite what they expected.  At least that's what they say.

No-one quite knows how they got radicalized, but they are of Bosnian heritage, so one must assume they are Muslim. When they disappeared, they left a note for their parents:

 “Don’t look for us. We will serve Allah — and we will die for him.”

But have the fair-haired, blue-eyed girls really had a change of heart? They lived in a Western country with no restrictions on how they conducted their lives, and it's feasible that the highly restricted lifestyle of a Muslim jihadi's wife could quickly turn unappealing. But what if they are simply trying to get home so they can radicalize others, and at some point in time initiate a terrorist attack in Vienna?  They seemed to be enjoying the lifestyle, according to social media.

For weeks social media accounts believed to belong to the girls have been posting pictures and information leading many to feel they enjoyed living a life of terror.

Austrian authorities claim that was an ISIS plot to convince people that the teens wanted to be "the poster girls for jihad in Syria."

It might not be so easy for them to return, however.

They have contacted their loved ones and told them they are sick of living with the Islamic state jihadis, but they also said they don’t feel they can flee from their unwanted new life because too many people now associate them with IS.

“The main problem is about people coming back to Austria,” said Austrian Interior Ministry spokesman, Karl-Heinz Grundboeck. “Once they leave it is almost impossible.”

We make choices in this world, we suffer the consequences. They should not be allowed to return.

Video- Syrian Woman Films ISIL In Raqqa With Hidden Camera

One brave Syrian woman filmed life in Islamic State infested Raqqa using a hidden camera.

Under ISIS aka ISIL, the women are now forced to wear niqabs. Although some wear it by choice. Towards the end of the video snippet, the woman enters an Internet club filled with French females speaking to their families, and insisting they will never go home.

UK Female ISIS Jihadists Running Brothels In Syria

More Muslim hypocrisy. All those young British women who have run off to join ISIS in Syria are running brothels as part of a 'police' force in Raqqa where Islamic State militants are raping captured Iraqi women. Islam does not allow pre-marital sex, that's considered 'adultery' punishable by stoning, but hey, it's okay as long as the women are not Muslim.

As many as 3,000 Iraqi women have been taken captive in the last two weeks by the terror group.

Sources suggest that members of the all-women al-Khanssaa Brigade in Raqqa, Syria, are running brothels to satisfy the fighters’ desires.

One said: “These women are using barbaric interpretations of the Islamic faith to justify their actions.

[snip]

“The Yazidi people are being ethnically cleansed, and their women are being subjected to the most brutal treatment.

“It is the British women who have risen to the top of the Islamic State’s sharia police and now they are in charge of this operation.

"It is as bizarre as it is perverse.”

There are estimated to be at least 60 female Brits in Syria, and they are persuading others to join them.

Brit ISIS Jihadi Wants To Be First Woman To Behead Someone From US or UK

Although her Twitter account has since been suspended, 22-year-old British Muslim convert Khadijah Dare (Twitter handle "Muhajira fi Sham" @Ash_Shamiyyah), tweeted a photo of some believe to be her young son holding a rifle, along with her desire to become the first female to behead someone from the US or UK.

 “Muhajirah fi Sham” which means “immigrant in Syria” posted her life's goal after the beheading video of journalist James Foley surfaced.

— muhajirah fi Sham (@Ash_Shamiyyah) August 20, 2014

Although it has not been confirmed, Muhajirah fi Sham is believed to be Dare.

She converted to Islam as a teenager and it’s believed she regularly attended the Lewisham Islamic Centre linked to Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale, the pair who attacked Drummer Lee Rigby with a knife in broad daylight in a London Street.

Her Twitter feed contains a shocking combination of news, quotes and ISIS-style extremism, combined with pictures of nature and tips on raising children.

Earlier this year she wrote: “All da people back in Dar ul kufr [land of disbelievers] what are you waiting for ... hurry up and join da caravan to where the laws of Allah is implemented,” The Telegraph reports.

Before being bumped off Twitter, she switched to private.

Any journalists or kufar who follow me will b nicely blocked. I hav no tym 4 arguments wit da ignorant. [4]
