For a Muslim woman who believes in jihad, that’s where the real men are. “France: more women than men leaving for jihad,” ANSAmed, April 15, 2015 (thanks to Insubria):
(ANSAmed) – PARIS – For the first time in March the number of French young women leaving to fight the jihad has exceeded that of men. The trend, according to government sources in Paris, is due to growing propaganda through which the Islamic state targets women.
Since April 2014 – according to the inter-ministerial committee for crime prevention – 3,670 departures of jihad fighters have been reported. The data is mainly based on cases reported by families dealing with the Islamic radicalization of a member to a help line set up by authorities….
Ever since the toll free number was established a year ago, the proportion of women leaving for jihad was 43% against 57% of men. In March 2015, the trend changed with 136 young women against 125 men reported to be travelling to Arab countries for the Islamic holy war.
The interior ministry said the phenomenon was due to the fact that ISIS is aiming its propaganda at women, also through videos to convince them to leave and even seduce them. ”These organizations have the power to convince women that they are an essential component because they will give birth to future fighters”, said Delphine Bergere-Ducote, of the directorate to protect youth.(ANSAmed).

Islam is Stockholm Syndrome.

Good riddance.

Will this make the weak leaders hesitant to bomb these pieces of garbage? “Cannot hurt the women and children”. Which, my view, a lot of crap.
A woman can pull a trigger as well as a man, and be a homicide bomber as well. (We have the women now in combat roles).
Kill them all.
Regardless of gender and age. If Muslim, kill them before they kill us.

France: more women than men leaving for jihad in the Islamic State
For a Muslim woman who believes in jihad, that’s where the real men are…
………………………….
Yes. This completely squelches the idea—which I sheepishly confess to having held myself at one time—that since Islam is oppressive to women that virtually all Muslim women would be glad of the chance to flee its ugly tenets in the free West. But most of the women—who teach their children Jihad in the home—are just as bad is the male of the species.

It would be interesting to try to get an idea of the proportion of women choosing to stay in areas coming under Islamic State control compared to the proportion leaving those areas. There may in fact be a marked imbalance in IS zones between women and men. If this is the case then the recruitment process and the effort invested makes sense from an IS perspective.
Of course these women are being sold a dream; one which draws on romantic ideals and religious zeal but perhaps also on the fact that motherhood has been steadily demoted in social status over time in the countries from which these young women are departing.
Perhaps its worth considering whether motherhood itself has been a casualty of the type of largely unchallenged radical feminism that has placed career prestige on a very high pedestal while ignoring women’s basic underlying biological yearnings to procreate and rear children.

I have noooooooooooooooooo problem with violent Muslim women wanting to leave Europe and America. Just as long as they aren’t allowed back. I say we release all the guys at Gitmo. Take them down to the beach and say ” Start swimming”. I’d give um guns so they can try to shoot the sharks. One way trip, though.
Cold hearted am I? I didn’t say put them in a cage and set fire to them.
Yet.

That figures !!! These Muslimas can xxxx till they drop and xxxx as many men as they can service in a day without fear of getting stoned to death for doing it.
Whoring for Allah is not a crime in Islam.
