“But she said women were happiest when their husbands died in battle and became a shahid, or martyr. The widows then ‘have to wait four months and 10 days before they’re allowed to leave the house, remarry, go shopping etc.,’ she wrote in a text. ‘It’s not hard because it’s for the sake of Allah and we are happy to observe it . . . When one husband gets martyred, it’s like a celebration.'” Maybe they’re secretly happy to be free of the little tyrant who owns them and can beat them if he fears disobedience from them (cf. Qur’an 4:34).
“Why it’s wrong to underestimate the Islamic State’s female recruits,” by Michelle Shephard, Toronto Star, March 28, 2015:
Umm Jihad may very well be who she claims to be, a 20-year-old American university student who was studying business in Virginia until she left to join the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS, in Syria.
When she is asked in a private online chat how she should be identified, she sends a photo of four women hanging out of a white Beemer and hoisting AK-47s in the air. Their hair, faces and bodies are completely shrouded in black robes and veils so they cannot be identified.
She responds: “Me and some Aussies.”…
One of the Islamic State’s most influential online voices used to be a Twitter account under the name Shami Witness. Last year, Britain’s Channel 4 uncovered that Shami Witness was not a holy warrior, or pro-ISIS analyst, but a 24-year-old businessman from Bangalore, India, who apparently had a lot of time on his hands.
But if Umm Jihad is not who she purports to be, her statements still echo hundreds of others online and provide insight into what women drawn to ISIS are either reading or writing.
They talk about the Islamic State’s higher calling, the sense of sisterhood and they romanticize their marriages, or becoming young mothers….
One woman, claiming on Twitter that foreigners are “subjected to mistreatment and discrimination from the locals,” describes an incident where a foreign woman was left to bleed at a hospital during a miscarriage, while doctors tended to local patients.
Most foreign women come from European countries, Australia and, to a lesser degree, Canada and the U.S. Umm Jihad posted a photo on Twitter of four gloved hands holding Canadian, American, Australian and British passports.
“Bonfire soon, no need for these anymore,” she wrote.
A 23-year-old woman from Edmonton is believed to be among the recruits. She reportedly left for the Islamic State last summer after enrolling in an online course to study the Qur’an taught by another woman based in Edmonton, according to a CBC television report.
In January, Shayma Senouci, a girl from the suburbs of Montreal was reported missing to police and is presumed to have left for Syria. Her Facebook account rages against a 2013 proposal by the Quebec government to ban religious symbols and calls Israel’s shelling of Gaza last summer a “genocide.”
“How can we stay impassive when faced with this?!!” she wrote last July.
Three other Canadian teenagers also tried last year to join, abruptly leaving their Brampton homes and making it as far as Istanbul, Turkey, before authorities turned them back after being alerted by their parents.
Umm Jihad says she misses nothing about the West and she believes it was her obligation as a Muslim to join the Islamic State. A British woman she met online helped her leave Virginia last November for Raqqa, Syria, where she says she now lives.
When we started talking a couple of weeks ago, she was living alone with her husband, whom she did not identify.
But she said women were happiest when their husbands died in battle and became a shahid, or martyr. The widows then “have to wait four months and 10 days before they’re allowed to leave the house, remarry, go shopping etc.,” she wrote in a text. “It’s not hard because it’s for the sake of Allah and we are happy to observe it . . . When one husband gets martyred, it’s like a celebration.”
The next day, she got her wish, posting on Twitter that her husband, Abu Jihad Al Australi was killed, waxing poetically of his death. “My husband had a dream a week before he went to battle. He dreamt that he got shot in the head and it felt like a pinch,” she wrote.
“He saw a bright light that he was trying to go towards, as he was getting closer n closer to it it got brighter n brighter until he couldn’t . . . handle it. I remember him tell me his dream and laughing.”
If true, she was married to a man from Melbourne, Australia named Suhan Rahman. Photos of his blood-soaked body were posted alongside other fighters killed in clashes with Kurdish fighters earlier this month, including the body of what is believed to be Ahmad Waseem, who was from Windsor and was known by the kunya, or nickname, of Abu Turab al-Kanadi.
Umm Jihad’s posts on Twitter grew more strident after her husband’s death, urging attacks on the West, or “that treacherous tryant” U.S. President Barack Obama.
But she is polite and conciliatory when answering questions on the social-messaging app KIK, unlike her Twitter account, which was suspended Saturday. When asked about disconnect, she responds: “Oh lol. Not like I can tell u to go kill kuffar,” using the word for the non-believers.
Umm Jihad had earlier made her intentions clear on why she’s responding to a journalist’s questions. “These journalists think they’re using us when they message us nicely,” she wrote last week on Twitter. “Little do they know we’re using them for a means of spreading our da’wah,” using the Arabic word for an “invitation.”
Supporters of the Islamic State do not need their words filtered through the media as they have the power online to reach potential recruits directly.
A report by London-based Institute for Strategic Dialogue concluded that despite the presence of female brigades or weapons carried by the Islamic State’s women, they should not be considered fighters.
“Females recruit and assist others to join ISIS. They support male fighters in a non-military capacity and encourage attacks on the West by those who cannot travel,” the report states, but notes “they demonstrate support for brutal violence equal in its strength to the men of ISIS. They also demonstrate a capacity and willingness to engage in violence and even suicide attacks should circumstances change.”
The report concludes that most of the reasons drawing women are the same for men — religious duty, sense that the Muslim world is under attack, a need for comradeship or belonging or adventure. “The state-building mission of ISIS is particularly strong among women,” write Carolyn Hoyle, Alexandra Bradford and Ross Frenett, the report’s authors….
LSWCHP says
These women who want their husbands dead remind me of spiders.
I saw the pics of the dead fool from Australia…I won’t call him an Australian. In his propaganda pics he was waving a glamorous nickel plated gangsta AK, but the weapon he was carrying when he was killed was the biggest piece of crap I’ve ever seen. It was filthy and rusty. The pistol grip had disintegrated and the fore stock was held together with duct tape. It’s very likely that he was killed as a result of a weapon malfunction.
Anyway, it demonstrates the regard that the local pig molesters have for their foreign cannon fodder recruits. They use them for propaganda then send them off to their deaths. There’s a word for those recruits, and that word is “chumps”.
mortimer says
Your contempt for these terrorist morons is well expressed.
Caroline says
I feel curiously happy reading your comment. I hope the fool realised the contempt his ‘brothers’ really felt for him. As you say, cannon-fodder.
Shane says
I celebrate when Muslim jihadists die too! These women are like the Viking women on the show “Vikings.” They are the wives of warriors whose goal is to die in battle and go to Valhalla with Odin. SImilarly, Muslims long to die in battle against the infidels and be rewarded with 72 virgins. Do Muslim women get 72 virgin men when they die in jihad?
voegelinian says
Problem is, unless they are merely killing other Muslims they are, while in the midst of shaheed-suiciding, killing (or trying to kill) us. Nothing to celebrate there.
Oliver says
SHANE,
IN ISLAM, WOMEN ARE WORTH (DEPENDING UPON THE QUOTE-i HAVE SEEN BOTH, AND A FEW OTHERS) 1/2 OR 1/4 A MAN.
HENCE, A WOMAN WOULD GET (SHOULD GET) EITHER (AT 1/2) 36- STUDS OR (AT 1/40 18 STUDS.
And not the studs in 9at least old time, don’t know about now) snow tires.
Dee says
Ouch .. please, my granddad was Norwegian.
The main thing lacking is this: In the end, Vikings in Ireland became Irish, in England became English, in Normandy became French, the Rus became Russian, etc. I’d call that _integration_.

Thank you! I was insulted by their “like Vikings” comment. The Vikings were not destroyers, but builders of commerce and agriculture. I am proud of my Norse heritage, and my youngest son’s name is Thorin to show it.
PorkNBeans says
No, they just get to do the cooking and cleaning.
Scott says
Why dont these imbeciles just martyr each other? The ridiculous mentality of muslims would be funny if not so deadly. We can never live with this ideology – it will come down to us or them. The West will be reduced to their level in order to deal with the problem – exterminate them – as they would us. They will use our morals and ethics against us – while they cut us down until we discard everything we value and resort to the lowest level humans can go – They are already there. This is our shocking future – globally.
voegelinian says
You can’t — and shouldn’t — exterminate 1.3 billion people. Funny how the Counter-Jihad is mostly divided up into Softies who have limp-wristed recommendations (surveil extremist mosques, curtail immigration, “ban the Koran” (can I get a LOL….?)), and then these Yahoo Cowboys who want to go riding on an H-bomb like Slim Pickens in Dr. Strangelove to yippee-kay-yaying all the way to genocide. Both sides are agreed that “Deportation is impossible”. With everyone repeating that mantra, it may well be — but only because they will have made it so.

……………………………
This is such rot. We have successfully opposed Fascism, Communism, and—yes—Islam in the past, and we did not have to discard our values in order to do so.
And if you are not willing to fight *for* your values, then why would it even matter who wins? We could just all “revert” and then, as you would see it, the problem would be solved.
Moreover, some decent Infidels, when faced with your nihilistic vision, will just be likely to lie down in the face of Jihad terror, because they find the prospect of having to become like savage Jihadists just too morally horrifying.
Maintaining our morals and values *does not* make us weak, nor does it mean that we cannot present an absolutely strong, commited defense against Islam.
Jay Boo says
REVEAL the monster and it loses its power.
Islam has not yet been properly revealed.
The all powerful seeming child molester to a frightened 9 year old girl hide in the shadows.
In the case of Islam inside an ideology.

Joseph says
Umm Jihad’s posts on Twitter grew more strident after her husband’s death, urging attacks on the West, or “that treacherous tyrant” U.S. President Barack Obama.
WOW she really is delusional. Oslimo is on their side. They are so @ucked up they don’t even know who their allies are.
Like Mr. Spencer said-“Maybe they’re secretly happy to be free of the little tyrant who owns them and can beat them if he fears disobedience from them (cf. Qur’an 4:34).” Guess what, I too rejoice at the death of her husband. One more down….lots of em to go.
Aardvark says
Exactly!
I never thought I would have any common ground with any of these barbarians, but I, too, rejoice when one of them is killed!
Here’s to much future joy!
Mirren10 says
”WOW she really is delusional. Oslimo is on their side. They are so @ucked up they don’t even know who their allies are.”
As gravenimage has often opined, you just can’t be islamic enough, for some people… 🙂
gravenimage says
Yup, Mirren. Anything short of Obama’s flying the Black Flag of JIhad over the White House and beheading Tea Party members in the Rose Garden will be considered “insufficiently Islamic” for the most pious Muslims.
Enabling Jihad, putting those with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood in high office, and humiliating Israel, Britain, and France—all things that he has done—simply don’t go far enough…
Linda Rivera says
In 4 months they get to re-marry another jihadi monster. That must be the reason for their rejoicing.
Oliver says
I would say that she might feel depressed about no sex for 4 months, but if she had fgm, she wouldn’t (probably) enjoy it, anyhow.
Bu–no shopping for 4 months. What does one do for food? Household goods-or do they live in tents, and I am just too used to the convenience of having 3 supermarkets within a mile or so of my home?
cs says
Islam is a cult of hating life, but in a cruder form rather than the more subtle early gnosticism. Some of them tried to provoke suicide in order to leave this world.

Hell is forever you sickos. Enjoy!
Jay Boo says
Wait four months.
Remarry someone likely to be killed.
Expand the gene pool far beyond the default first cousin choice.
Wow! Muslim women are smarter than they seem.
Muslim women who plan well can marry as many spouses as they wish, just like MO did.
mortimer says
Yes, and their reward will be at the receiving end of incoming drones.
Kathy Brown, Esq. says
No, no Jay-you’re making the stupendous mistake of thinking NORMALLY again!
These are muslims we’re talking about here, OK, specifically female muslims. So normal thoughts about male-female relations are, well, totally irrelevant.
Now: If you’re a female muslim you’ve got-in addition to no rights, property or custodial interests-no clitoris. Instead, what you’ve got is a wound, perpetually infected, constant urinary tract infections, and dyspareunia. Meaning: Sex that doesn’t just not feel great, but sex that hurts. A lot. Every time.
So call me crazy, but I’m thinking it’s no real mystery as to why these mo ho’s are glad hubby’s in 50 pieces now. Their first thought is probably: ‘Cool! No more filthy smelly brutal mohammed tearing me up night after night! Of course I’m glad he’s dead!’.
As for mourning: Like any of these skanks ever ‘chose’ her husband. No-the dear departed is some creeped out cave dweller who ‘married’ her when she was 10 and he was 35.
No wonder it’s party-time when Hussein buys it.
Jay Boo says
Yes they are certainly mo ho’s
I get that; don’t be so anal.
It was merely a joke about ( Muslim women are smarter than they seem.)
You seem to be following mortomers lead.
Kathy Brown, Esq. says
JB: You’re wrong. My comment was tongue-in-cheek. I was teasing you, really complimenting you, on your humanity!
For heaven’s sake…

In that case good comment
Bucefalo says
So true! Of course it’s a celebration, you used to live with a pedophile psychopath, and and now you are no longer living with a pedophile psychopath. Well, at least they know there’s definitely something to celebrate when a serial killer is no longer haunting your days and nights!
voegelinian says
Yes, a lot of ill-informed naive Westerners don’t realize that adult converts to Islam (male and female) are circumcized.
PorkNBeans says
I thought that (female circumcision) was just in some African countries.
Linde Barrera says
LSWCHP allow me please to use your word in a little ditty about this disgusting situation: ISIS recruits are chumps, their brides from overseas are strumps (strumpets or tramps) and the brides’ parents are all humps (jerks or morons). End of story, that is my opinion for whatever it is worth.⌛
mortimer says
Linda, The PARENTS of these girls are criminally NEGLIGENT for raising them as death cult MUSLIMS, rather than as anything else.
What did they expect? Islam is child abuse.
Jay Boo says
Mortimer why are you making such a fuss with Linde when you both basically agree about the parents?
You are taking a shade of the same thing and phrasing it as if it were a totally different opinion.
Jay Boo says
Mortimer Maybe you just forgot to say you agree to begin with, but by omitting that it appears as if you disagree the way you wrote it.
Kathy Brown, Esq. says
Linda I like your ditty. But there’s something I’ve been wondering-how can these ‘pious muslims’ accept these girls from the West? Who certainly aren’t virgins; quite the reverse?
Hmm…looks like the muslim guys ‘just wanna have fun’, yes? Omigosh! Hypocrisy in is-slime! I’m shocked…shocked…(!?)
Bezelel says
Kathy, This 2min youtube has an islamic cleric explaining how the forbidden is acceptable.http://crossmuslims.blogspot.ca/2012/07/wide-anus-for-allah-anus-large-pour.html He is specifically referring to sodomy but what the hell, you can justify anything in the name of jihad. It would seem that your description above (Now: If you’re a female muslim you’ve got-in addition to no rights, property or custodial interests-no clitoris. Instead, what you’ve got is a wound, perpetually infected, constant urinary tract infections, and dyspareunia. Meaning: Sex that doesn’t just not feel great, but sex that hurts. A lot. Every time.), could well apply to the dilemma that many of the male ISIS members found themselves in. I imagine it would be hard to be effective in combat while enduring such treatment.
Kathy Brown, Esq. says

But we knew that.
Truly: I was struck even by the first line this demento addresses to the Sheik. ‘Hi-may allah grant you martyrdom!’. Duh!
The idea that islam is superior to our morals in the West? What a joke. It is true that the West is depraved and pagan these days; but whatever we have pales into insignificance beside the normal horrors of islam.
voegelinian says
No; modern secular Western “fun” is not the primary motivating factor here.
Bezelel says
With so much of their culture focused on self indulgence for the dominant male, complete with fatwas to justify even necrophilia, and bestiality is commonplace, I have no doubt that Dr. Freud would label them as hedonists even if they do have flexible rules of engagement.

The more happy ISIS widows the better! Hoping all those ISIS wives embrace the happiness of widowhood…
mortimer says

Jay Boo says
Hypothesis
No offence but let’s be honest.
Many Muslim women depending on their ancestral country tend to have naturally hairy legs, not that their is anything wrong with that.
Nature is nature.
The problem is that Muslim women growing up in Western countries are bombarded with women in ads that appear to have naturally hairless legs with out the typical Muslima morning after stubble.
They assume that they will find more acceptance from a husband in an Muslim area far from civilization.
Islam is vanity after all.
mortimer says
Oh, Boo Boo, there you go again. It’s the religion, stupid.
Jay Boo says
Sometimes mort you make some good comments.
But you just gave away your weakness.
I see that I gave you too much credit above with your comment to Linde.
You act coy pretending you do not get the point of the comment and then you obviously seek to provoke just to get a response.
And to think that I once defended you from someone accusing you of trolling.
I now see their point.
I can only conclude that you either suffer from comment envy-itis where you desperately want to be the #1 commenter (Hurrah! Whoopie!) or you want so badly to get a response that you toss out irrelevant criticism to see if you can get a bite to improve your numbers.
Kathy Brown, Esq. says
Jay: There’s a ‘Number 1 Commenter’? Who knew?
I’m in SIOA because I love my country and hate islam. And I love to read your comments, and those of the other patriots here.
There are certainly times when we disagree with each other, but honestly, if I identify anyone on these sites who’s just out to diss others, well, to me their worst punishment is that they’re not taken seriously. That idiot ‘Rezali’ comes to mind…
Jay Boo says
Kathy,
Ideally we will all contribute to the whole.
But when Mortimer tosses out a ‘stupid’ at the end of his comment which is BTW a variation of (stupendous mistake) you must surely agree that he is merely trying to provoke a response for the sake of a response. The dictionary calls that trolling.
Kathy Brown, Esq. says
Jay, you’re really going overboard here.
‘It’s the religion, stupid’ is a variation on a popular catchphrase, i.e., ‘It’s the economy, stupid’, and similar fill-in-the-blanks. Similarly: My saying ‘stupendous mistake’ was, once more, by no means any kind of an insult, quite the reverse.
I’m done here.
Mirren10 says
‘It’s the religion, stupid’ is a variation on a popular catchphrase… ”
Or, as the wonderful Geert Wilders once put it,
”It’s the islam, stupid!”
🙂
Jay Boo says
Then again mortimer, maybe you are just so anal that you don’t even realize it.
gravenimage says
I love reading your comments, Jay Boo, and am frequently in broad agreement with you.
But—with all respect—I think this has much more to do with these vicious Muslimahs sharing violent Jihad aims than it does any concern over not having naturally silky legs.
Simpler to go get your legs waxed than to run off to the Islamic State…
Jay Boo says
Yes gravenimage that is fair to say that violent Jihad should not be minimized.
Still it is not only about ideology.
My holistic approach intends to explore deeper than the obvious.
These women also have romantic delusions and motivations other than killing for Allah that leave them more receptive to Jihad.
Why not occasionally open all the doors?
Jay Boo says
Well ok,GI maybe going down the hairy leg trail could open the door to other unwanted paths.
I will try to fine to that better next time.
Jay Boo says
oops ‘Fine tune’
Mirren10 says
”Simpler to go get your legs waxed than to run off to the Islamic State…”
On the other hand, I expect Syria is rife with mohammedan molls wielding depilatory creams/razors; I remember dda telling us that truly pious mohammedan bints remove their underarm and pubic hair in order to be ‘pure’. She read it in a book by an Australian journalist.
I just looked it up, and apparently it’s part of ‘fitrah’. 🙂
voegelinian says
It’s all because of Muhammad’s neurotic/psychotic quirks regarding body hair.
Caroline says
Maybe it because they want their women to look like children?
gravenimage says

………………………..
Thanks, Mirren—I’m quite aware of this. The only reason I did not bring it up was that I took Jay Boo’s comments to be less about varying cultural standards of female leg smoothness per se, and more about the idea that minor Western social anxieties could be enough to drive otherwise decent people into running off to a place that beheads aid workers, stones “adulterers” to death, and commits genocide against religious minorities.
gravenimage says
Hi, Jay Boo—thanks for your considered reply. I have no problem with going “down other paths” in determining motivation—I just think it can make it too easy to miss the *main* motivation.
Most people who join the Jihad do so because they support the waging of violent Jihad in the name of Islam.
Subsidiary possible motivations like looking for excitement, being effected by video games, feeling unsatisfied by materialism in the West, wanting to find a guy supposedly less focused on looks, being influenced by their friends, wanting to find a cause bigger than themselves—etc etc ad nauseum, and all put forward at one time or another as motivating factors by hopeful Infidels—are at most lesser factors, and are *certainly* not concerns that would lead inevitably to running off to *join the most horrifying terror state of our time*.
A woman so concerned with a niggling—and hardly universal—Western concern as leg hair could invest in regular waxing, go for full leg (or full body) electrolysis, or find a hippyish guy (or gal) who doesn’t care about hairy legs, or even look for someone in the Hirsutism dating community (yes, there actually is such a thing) who doesn’t just not mind hairy legs, but considers them a real attraction.
With all respect, I think that trying to attribute motives for becoming Jihadists to minor Western social anxieties is off base—and in some cases, is part of the problem.
No amount of job training, interfaith outreach, social inclusion, museum exhibits of Islamic art, or free coupons to spas is going to blunt the threat of Jihad—because it is not really about any of these things.
Spartan24 says
Actually muslim women are required to remove all body hair- kinda plays into the pedo tendencies.
Spartan24 says
im not surprised- at least they get a 4 or if they’re lucky and are pregnant a 9 month vacation from being married to a muslim man. If they aren’t from the same country or ethnic group they aren’t treated as well and are basically used for sex or procreation, even if they are muslim.
gravenimage says
Wives of the Islamic State: “When one husband gets martyred, it’s like a celebration”
………………………………..
More proof that Muslims really do love death—more than they do their spouses, certainly.
Of course, amy of these “marriages” are just “affaires du Jihad” in any case. There are exceptions, but many of these marriages were just arranged by the Islamic State itself, for the primary purpose of breeding new Jihadists and keeping the “Mujahideen” sexually satisfied when they run out of Christian and Yazidi sex slaves to rape.
More:
The widows then ‘have to wait four months and 10 days before they’re allowed to leave the house, remarry, go shopping etc.,’
………………………………..
Mohammedans often natter on about “Muslim family values”, but here we see that these most pious of Muslims consider getting remarried in just the same way that they do getting out of the house or going on a shopping trip.
What a vicious, loveless creed Islam is.
Nimrod says
I think “husband” should probably be in quotation marks.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_Jihad
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikah_Misyar
Fake marriage for prostitution purposes. Probably how those girls from the UK ended up.
Linde Barrera says
To Mortimer, Jay Boo, Jameson Rocks and gravenimage: I do enjoy your comments about the vile and disgusting news topics that Islam provokes, but I get the feeling from each of you, because of your commentary and writing style, are secret writers or “ghost” writers for a spoof comedy show like “Saturday Night Live”, which we have here in NYC. (I do not know if other American cities get this TV show). Am I correct, or do you not want to reveal your employer?
gravenimage says
Hi, Linde. I’m not sure if you’re complimenting our keen senses of humor, or if you are implying that no one should take our comments seriously. I’m going to take this in the most positive way, and say thanks.
We definitely get SNL out here in the Bay Area—really, it is aired all over the US and Canada. I used to work with a close relative of Dana Carvey’s during the mid-1980s, and he was as famous out here as he was in NYC.
As for why I post under a username—obviously “gravenimage” is not the name I was christened with—this is because I also create artwork critical of Islam and the “Prophet”, and I would prefer not to have some pious Muslim with an axe crawling in our window any time soon. I also don’t want to have to secure 24-hour security, as Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller and other higher-profile Anti-Jihadists have to do.
Here’s my Anti-Jihad artwork:
http://s478.photobucket.com/user/gravenimageartist/library
I imagine similar concerns are why many other posters here use pseudonyms.
Linde Barrera says
Hello gravenimage, just to clarify: I truly and really do appreciate the keen humor and insight that you display. If I thought someone’s comments shouldn’t be taken seriously, then I would call them out, I would not make a snide remark. Sarcasm is not my style. I will check out your artwork when I get a chance to speak with my public library assistant who has more internet/computer savvy then I do. I am 64 and I just can’t wrap my mind around most technology. (When I was in high school, my computer math teacher made us go to IBM and make up a program using punch cards. The computer we had to use was 10 feet long!) But technology is a good thing for the most part. Thank you for your response. I look forward to reading more of your posts.
gravenimage says
Thank you so much, Linde.
By the way, your comment was so polite that I did not really think it was any sort of jab—not at all!
Linde Barrera says
To Kathy Brown, Esq.: Thank you Kathy. I liked your ditty too. But just to make yours rhyme, I would have ended it like this: “Hypocrisy in is-slime. They want to do it all the time. And on our dime.”
Kathy Brown, Esq. says
Hahahahahaha Linda! That’s definitely an improvement on my post! I salute you.

So here is what I have noticed. The people who will leave everything and fight for what they believe in, do it for evil. The people who sit on their asses and listen to our elites instead of stringing them up for treason are on the side of good. This world is officially screwed.
Oliver says
If fighting for what they believe in is evil– what about Nazis, who exterminating Jews, Gypsies; Homosexuals (although many were bisexual or homosexual themselves); Catholics (especially some well educated ones); etc. due to their belief; sex habits, etc.
They fought for what they believed in. Were they not evil? And Stalin, Lenin, Khrushchev; Mao; and their followers. They killed (in total) millions; were they and their followers not evil?
And Muslims are as bad.
As to treasonous leaders- yes, they should be strung up or put before a firing squad. but too many people believe them. And do not believe that we are in a war.

Alas, Jay, ’twas ever thus:
“…The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity…”
—The Second Coming, W. B. Yeats
Written almost a hundred years ago. It tends to take a lot for decent people to finally oppose evil—as a rule, most of us would rather work on building things than fighting, and so we only tend to do so as an absolute last resort.
This is, in fact, generally a positive trait—but it can, and has, often led to ignoring or even failing to recognize evil until it has run amok.

We have all missed the point,These downtrodden wifes are more than happy to see their husbands off to war,where they have a high rate of not coming back. Oh,to the joys of widowhood.

The best kind of husband is a dead one…That’s what one of my many XXX wives told me…I slept with one eye open until I could file divorce papers.

Combat or a baghead wife- I’ll take the combat thanks.<:o)
Baucent says
There is a black humor side to this. Picture the couch potato jihadi in from of the TV and the nagging wife saying “When are you going to blow yourself up!”

The Bright light he saw was the bullet passing through the empty skull he had…the hole allowed the sun to shine into the empty space where a brain usually exists…then satan welcomed him into hell and perpetual torment as his Prophet claimed he would.

What is not being told by moslems is that another reason why the family and friends celebrate is because the murdering pile of poop who died for islam (their shahid) not only gets on the fast path to Allah’s whorehouse in the sky to abuse women and little boys for eternity – but the ones left behind will get named as one of the 70 who also get saved. And being a woman in islam – their own perverted prophet said that most of them go to hell, so she thinks she will also get on the fast path to islam just for being named as one of the saved.
the sickness abounds in islam.

*Very* important point, R Not. This is the major reason why pious Muslimahs are so keen on having their children die in violent Jihad. It is considered one of the very few ways that a woman can enter paradise in Islam. Having a hubby die the same way is almost as “good”.
God, I hate Islam.
voegelinian says
I seem to have noticed the Counter-Jihad community over the years has, mostly, slowly but surely (too slowly) weaned itself away from, and disabused itself of, the ridiculously sentimental view that Muslimas are mere “victims” “trapped” in Islam waiting for the Great White Knight (the West) to save them. Slowly but surely, apparently, the relentless (and relentlessly alarming and dreadful) stillicide of data indicating the female Muslims are just as fanatically murderous and hateful as their male counterparts has penetrated the skulls of the Counter-Jihad community, facilitating their advance on the LCPOI (Learning Curve of the Problem of Islam), whereby the unique mass Stockholm Syndrome of Islam’s erstwhile victims is the more important feature to concentrate on, if only because its effects involve the intentionality to kill us.
Oliver says
My guess- another reason for the celebration.
From what i have read and seen, women cannot file for divorce in Islam; and if in a western country, divorce can be expensive.
So, if some slut from Virginia is married to a Muslim who is killed, she can be a widow, come back to Virginia; shack up and collect widow SS benefits, at the ripe old age of 20.
And sit on her ass.
Spread her legs, once in a while (if she was able to avoid the fgm) and do nothing, if she wants to.
And she had her little adventure.
And the US, UK, Canada, etc are too stupid (or PC) to cancel theri citizenship.
gravenimage says
Oliver, this is not about the availability of divorce for women in Islam.
While some of these Muslimahs were previously married, many of them have run off to the Islamic State specifically so they can marry Jihadists.
And only a few of these bints will be returning to the West solo. Most of them—as implied in this article—will be married off to another Jihadist as soon as their waiting period is up.
Jerry says
When a few million Jihaddists are “martyred”, preferably without any Kufr casualties,
I too will celebrate their “martyrdom”

Hey, is that picture of her from Jihadi Playboy or Muslim Mingle?

“The report concludes that most of the reasons drawing women are the same for men — religious duty, sense that the Muslim world is under attack, a need for comradeship or belonging or adventure. “The state-building mission of ISIS is particularly strong among women,” writes Carolyn Hoyle….”
Shouldn’t mental illness be at the top of the list?
Blackie says
If we want this to stop, then maybe Western society should ask why these educated young women would give up their whole way of life and leave their families to travel halfway around the world and join a death cult. Just a thought.
gravenimage says
It’s because they—just like their male counterparts—believe in the horror of Jihad and Shari’ah. In other words, they believe in orthodox Islam, and see that vision coming to fruition in the vicious Caliphate.
This is not a mystery.

GI-I have no doubt that some of the demented who expatriate to ISIS are in fact committed ‘slimes. However I feel there is something else here, too, in play.
Remembering how one feels in one’s teens or early 20’s: Young women at this time of life are-despite the overwhelming coarsening of our culture-quite romantic. I’m sure that many of these girls imagine that their ‘love’ can redeem these savages. This is well documented in the case of women loving ‘bad boys’; prisoners, etc.
Combine this with the natural (tho’ here, badly expressed) wish to leave home and establish their own home/life, and you can certainly arrive at a spectacle like this. Young women hastening to the side of their jihadi lover; then waking up from the dream to frantically beg to return home.
Alas! Islam is nothing if not unforgiving-thus what would usually be a wake-up call from abysmally bad judgment can end in the death of these young women.
Horrifying.

Hi, Kathy. What you say is very true. And some Western women drawn to Islam do indeed seem to be the same sort who might otherwise take up a “romantic” correspondence with someone on death row.
But I *don’t* believe that these widows here want to redeem these “bad boys”—instead, the seem to be reveling in their dead husbands dying in violent Jihad.
And that is only possible, I believe, if they generally share the same vision of Islam as do these “Mujahideen”.
And most of this is not “romantic” in the “I want to find my soulmate” sense, since most Muslim women realize that Islam does not lend itself to these kinds of relationships, to put it mildly.
This is more a creed of pedophilia, rape, forced marriage, polygamy, summary divorce, wife beating, and “Honor Killing” than it is of storied long romantic walks on the beach.
Certainly, the words of these widows—where “marriages” are considered virtually interchangeable—tend to confirm this.
I believe the “romance” is more like running off and joining Che or some other “romantic” violent revolution, more than a young girl searching for her “prince”.

I am sure this *does* happen, with both young women *and* young men. Certainly, there appear to have been cases where Western Muslims have tried to leave the Islamic State and have been executed as “spies” or “traitors”. Women on “love JIhad” have been reported beaten or killed for trying to leave.
But even this does not necessarily mean that they rejected violent Jihad—just that they found the conditions on the ground too difficult after having lived in the civilized West.
For instance, one wanna-be Jihadist who was into body-building complained that he could not find cocoa butter in the “Caliphate”.
I don’t believe that any of this means that they are not still a likely danger to us and other Infidels.
Anyway, an interesting take on this ugly phenomenon. Thank you.
