[An Nahar] Tunisia's women's ministry said Saturday it would come up with a plan to counter the growing number of women travelling to Syria to wage so-called "sex jihad" by comforting myrmidons.Y'know, I'm starting to understand why they have to keep an eye on 'em all the time.
"The ministry intends to boost its cooperation with both government and non-government bodies on this issue to come up with appropriate ways to thwart the plans of those who encourage such practices," a ministry statement said.
Apparently it's not all that hard to find wannabe tarts among the pious.
"The ministry will work to introduce a plan of information, sensitivity and education targeting women and families everywhere to warn them of the seriousness of these practices," it said.
That'll work better than society pointing the finger at them and calling them stupid hoes, you betcha.
A crisis group has already been set up, it added.
Yes, indeedy. A crisis group.
Interior Minister Lotfi ben Jeddou told the National Constituent Assembly on Thursday that Tunisian women had gone to Syria where "they have sexual relations with 20, 30, 100" turbans.
"Mom, I'm gonna go be a pleasure wench and have sex with 20, 30, 100 lusty young guys with beards and turbans and assumed names."
"Good idea, Fatimah. Sign me up, too. Your father will be so proud!"
"After the sexual liaisons they have there in the name of 'jihad al-nikah' -- (sexual holy war, in Arabic) -- they come home pregnant," he told MPs.
No! Re-e-e-e-eally?
Ben Jeddou did not elaborate on how many Tunisian women had returned to the country pregnant with the children of jihadist fighters.
"We got lotsa little babies named 'the one with the hat,' after their fathers."
On Saturday, the health ministry statement said it had noted "an increase in the number of young women leaving for so-called jihad al-nikah", although it did not give any figures. Jihad al-nikah, permitting extramarital sexual relations with multiple partners, is considered by some hardline Sunni Moslem Salafists
...Salafists are ostentatiously devout Moslems who figure the ostentation of their piety gives them the right to tell others how to do it and to kill those who don't listen to them...
as a legitimate form of holy war.
And the girlies are dumb enough to buy that line. Or excuse.
Media reports have said hundreds of Tunisian women have gone to Syria for this purpose, in addition to hundreds of Tunisian men joining jihadists battling the regime of Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir
Pencilneckal-Assad.
Before going into the family business Pencilneck was an eye doctor. If he'd stuck with it he'd have had a good practice by now...
Ben Jeddou said that since he assumed office in March, "six thousand of our young people have been prevented from going there".
He has said in the past that border controls have been boosted to intercept young Tunisians seeking to travel to Syria.
Media reports say thousands of Tunisians have, over the past 15 years, joined jihadists across the world in Afghanistan Iraq and Syria, mainly travelling via Turkey or Libya.
