| Active online, foreign women become Islamic State widows |
| 2015-04-28 |
| [EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] At least 15 young Western women who joined Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... and married jihadi fighters are now widows after the bad boy group suffered losses in festivities in Syria and Iraq, according to researchers who closely monitor Islamist faceless myrmidons online. The Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD) think tank in London gave Rooters access to its database of 106 foreign women it says have moved to IS territory and are active online. Fifteen of the women have either mentioned on social media that they lost their husbands in fighting, or other known IS supporters have announced the men's deaths online, said ISD researcher Melanie Smith. Although Rooters could not independently confirm the identities of the women, many of them have been said by relatives to have left their home countries for Syria and Iraq. Some have also been named by law enforcement officials in their countries or leave online traces, such as having geographical locators on their Twitter accounts. Smith said most of the women believed to be widows lost their husbands in the last six months. IS, which swept through northern Iraq last June, has recently suffered some battlefield setbacks including at the Syrian city of Kobani where it was defeated by Kurdish forces backed by U.S.-led The morale of foreign women is a concern for IS because it is trying to attract females from abroad to marry Islamist fighters and populate the territory it holds. |

| #2 Luckily they might even pick up a second or third husband before the years is out. After that they can serve ISIS in the Jihadi bordellos or something. |
