Meet The New Female ISIS Jihadists, Veils And All

If you were thinking that arming yourself for jihad is a man’s responsibility, you’re dead wrong. Now, many Muslim women in the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) are taking up weapons to take part in the group’s terrorist activities, one aspect in particular.

Islamist females clad in militant garb are taking it upon themselves to ensure fellow women are obeying Sharia law, policing them to make sure the hijab is being utilized properly.

“Jihad is not a man-only duty. Women must do their part as well,” Abu Ahmad, a spokesman for ISIS in Syria told Syria Deeply.

“[T]he brigade raided the city’s Hamida Taher Girls School and arrested 10 students, two teachers and a secretary on the grounds that some of them were wearing veils that were too thin. Others were accused of wearing hair clips under the veil, pinning them in a way that showed too much of their faces,” he continued.

“The women who join the brigade are either women of Raqqa who wanted to take part in ISIS’s activities there, or, often, the wives of mujahedeen who have come to fight from other parts of Syria or the region,” Ahmad said.

The brigade claims their purpose is to “raise awareness among women, and arrest and punish women who do not follow the religion correctly,” but the locals know better:

“ISIS created it to terrorize women,” says Abu al-Hamza, a local media activist. He says the brigade raided the city’s Hamida Taher Girls School and arrested 10 students, two teachers and a secretary on the grounds that some of them were wearing veils that were too thin. Others were accused of wearing hair clips under the veil, pinning them in a way that showed too much of their faces.

Al-Hamza says that the women subsequently spent six hours in an ISIS detention center, where they were whipped. “After arresting those women and girls,” continues al-Hamza, “they took them to ISIS prisons and locked them in for six hours and punished some of them with 30 whips each.”

While the group is successfully enacting Sharia, they have a hidden agenda as well. The true reason the brigade has formed is to expose anyone attempting to infiltrate Raqqa dressed as women.

The women act as “morality police,” imposing jihad on anyone who might seem immodest in any nature.

The female militants receive “a monthly salary worth 25 thousand SYP (Syrian pounds),” for exacting such violence, twice the country’s average wage.

“The brigade has created fear among the women and girls of Raqqa,” said a female student who was arrested for walking without a male escort. “We’ve seen how they move, always watching women on the street, raiding schools, arresting students and locking them in for hours.”

It’s infuriating to see men of Islam repressing their own women, all while claiming they willingly chose the niqab and hijab. However, it’s alarming when the very victims themselves are victimizing their sisters.
