ISIS publishes treatise on womanhood in apparent bid to recruit Saudis

[quote]An all-female brigade of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has published a treatise on womanhood in what some analyists say is an apparent bid to recruit Saudi women and others from the Arabian Peninsula.
Produced by ISIL’s Al-Khanssaa Brigade, the manifesto enumerates the ways Muslim women should behave in ISIL-controlled territory, a swath of land that includes much of Iraq and Syria.
[B]The “most pure” women, the text says, must be wed by age 16 or 17, and girls as young as 9 may be married off to an ISIL fighter.[/B]
[B]Al-Khanssaa Brigade — an all-female fighting group named after a 7th century poet who wrote elegies for her brothers who died in combat — says women should leave the house only to practice medicine, teach or study religion or if it has been ruled that she must participate in a “jihad.” The ultimate purpose of a woman’s life, the document says, is to produce children.[/B]
These ideas, originally written in Arabic, stand in stark contrast to much of ISIL’s rhetoric in English. Many European women fighting with the group have emphasized the more “adventurous” aspects of joining its cause, according to Katherine Brown, a defense studies lecturer at King’s College in London. “The [ISIL] narrative provides young women from North America and Europe with a meaningful purpose of their lives that they don’t necessarily have in the West,” she said.
The guide’s sober picture of what is expected of Muslim women exposes as fabrications the social media accounts posted by many Western female ISIL fighters, said the Quilliam Foundation, which translated the document into English.
“Just as they have sexed up what it is to be a woman living in the so-called [ISIL] caliphate, this document dresses it down. Women, it is unambiguously stated, are homemakers and mothers,” the foundation said in concluding remarks to its translation.
[B]The treatise was disseminated in Arabic and not in English, despite the presence of English speakers in Al-Khanssaa Brigade. This has led some experts to conclude that the pamphlet was targeting women from the Arabian Peninsula.

In couching its message in religious terms borrowed from the Wahhabist branch of Islam, Brown said, the group may be pushing its political goal of opposing the ruling powers of Saudi Arabia.
“By saying, ‘We’re more Muslim than you in a way, we’re going to appeal to your citizens and demonstrate that we’re more Islamic than you are,’” Brown said, “they set themselves apart as a challenge to the monarchy of the Gulf.”[/quote]

One of three options:
1. Forced into it.
2. Brainwashed.
3. Idiotic western girls who think they want to go on a adventure and are blind to harsh reality.

Delusional promises about religion, life and afterlife.

actually... the men who are locals are fighting because they don't really have any connection to their country (syria or iraq), and do it because its what everybody else is doing, the foreigners tend to be more radical, at least thats what some of the hostages who have personally lived amongst these groups have said
who knew that a government that systematically disenfranchised and marginalized a large ethnic group because one group reads a slightly different holy book, for 40-50 years would see the rise of a very radical and viral rebellion

Probably a psychological complex of being raised in morally homogeneous communities where they know of no other alternative other than being thoroughly second-class citizens bound to subservience, so having establishing that:

I guess if you're conditioned like that, you'll jump when you are told to jump
That's amazing. So the current center of Islam, which is sadly a corrupted shithole, is being challenged for its title by an even more extreme, more corrupt, more hypocritical group.
