Great Britain is now the leading European source of female jihadists in Syria and Iraq.<\/em><\/p>\n

Britain’s Female Jihadists<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Soeren Kern | Gatestone Institute<\/a> | September 21, 2014<\/p>\n

Great Britain is now the leading European source of female jihadists in Syria and Iraq.<\/p>\n

As many as 60 Muslim women between the ages of 18 and 24 are believed to have left Britain to join the jihadist group Islamic State [IS] during the past twelve months alone, according<\/a> to British terrorism analysts.<\/p>\n

Dozens more have inquired about joining IS since the beheading of American journalist James Foley in Syria in August 2014 set off a frenzy of enthusiasm within jihadist circles.<\/p>\n

Many of the women seem to be motivated by the hope of finding a jihadist husband, analysts say, apparently because they covet the cultural and religious \u201cprestige\u201d conferred upon Muslim widows whose husbands have died as \u201cmartyrs\u201d for Allah.<\/p>\n

Until recently, most of the British women affiliated with IS have been restricted to performing domestic chores such as cleaning and cooking. Lately, however, some women have become restive and have demanded a greater role in the IS enterprise.<\/p>\n

Several British women are now engaged in IS recruiting efforts, using social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter to encourage a new wave of British jihadists to travel to Syria and Iraq.<\/p>\n

A half-dozen other women have been incorporated into a female-only militia called the Al-Khansaa<\/a> brigade, based in the Syrian city of Raqqa, where the IS has set up its headquarters.<\/p>\n

Al-Khansaa\u2014named after a seventh-century female Arab poet<\/a> who was a contemporary of the Muslim Prophet Mohammed\u2014was established in February 2014 with the purpose of exposing male enemy jihadists who try to disguise themselves by wearing women\u2019s clothing in order to avoid detection and detention at IS checkpoints.<\/p>\n

The brigade was also established to detain civilian women in Raqqa who do not follow the Islamic State\u2019s strict interpretation of Islamic Sharia law, including the requirement that all women be fully covered in public and that they be accompanied by a male chaperone.<\/p>\n

In an interview<\/a> with the blog \u201cSyria Deeply,\u201d Abu Ahmad, an IS official in Raqqa, explained the rationale behind Al-Khansaa. He said:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have established the brigade to raise awareness of our religion among women, and to punish women who do not abide by the law. There are only women in this brigade, and we have given them their own facilities to prevent the mixture of men and women.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

British terrorism analyst Melanie Smith told<\/a> the Daily Telegraph<\/em> that Al-Khansaa is a Sharia law police brigade whose social media accounts are run by British women and written in English.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe British women are some of the most zealous in imposing the IS laws in the region,\u201d Smith said. \u201cI believe that\u2019s why at least four of them have been chosen to join the women police force.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Al-Khansaa brigade has now expanded its remit to operating brothels for the use of IS fighters. The result is that British female jihadists are now in charge of guarding as many as 3,000 non-Muslim Iraqi women and girls who are being held captive as sex slaves, according<\/a> to British media.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is the British women who have risen to the top of the Islamic State\u2019s Sharia police and now they are in charge of this operation,\u201d another analyst told<\/a> the Daily Mirror<\/em>. \u201cIt is as bizarre as it is perverse.\u201d<\/p>\n

A key figure in the Al-Khansaa brigade is said<\/a> to be Aqsa Mahmood, a 20-year-old woman from Glasgow, Scotland who left for Syria in November 2013. Mahmood attended private schools and had wanted to become a doctor, but she dropped out of university without warning and vanished overnight in order to become a jihadist and marry an IS fighter.<\/p>\n

\"uk<\/a><\/p>\n

Using the jihadist name of Umm Layth (Arabic for \u201cMother of the Lion\u201d) on Twitter (account now suspended), Mahmood has encouraged other British Muslim women to leave their families behind in order to join the jihad in Syria. She wrote<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cBiggest tip to sisters: don\u2019t take detours, take the quickest route, don\u2019t play around with your Hijrah [religious pilgrimage] by staying longer than 1 day for safety and get in touch with your contacts as soon as you reach your destination.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mahmood, who says<\/a> she is dedicated to the \u201cpursuit of Allah\u2019s pleasure,\u201d added: \u201cOnce you arrive in the land of jihad, [IS] is your family.\u201d<\/p>\n

In two tweets Mahmood described the kinship she felt with fellow Muslims in the Islamic State. Before referring to the place as \u201cparadise,\u201d she concluded<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cWallahi [I swear] I will never be able to do justice with words as to how this place makes me feel or what Ansaar of Shaam [helpers of Syria] have done for me and Allah only knows how much I love and appreciate these people for His sake\u2026\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In another post, Mahmood called on Muslims to imitate those who murdered<\/a> British soldier Lee Rigby outside the Woolwich Barracks in London in May 2013. \u201cFollow the examples of your brothers from Woolwich, Texas and Boston,\u201d she wrote, referring also to the shooting<\/a> in Fort Hood, Texas in November 2009 and the Boston Marathon bombings<\/a> in April 2013.<\/p>\n

Mahmood also called on Muslims to conduct jihad operations on British streets. In a recent tweet, she counselled: \u201cIf you cannot make it to the battlefield, then bring the battlefield to yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n

She also wrote<\/a> about martyrdom: \u201cAllahu Akbar, there\u2019s no way to describe the feeling of sitting with the Akhawat [sisters] waiting on news of whose Husband has attained Shahadah [martyrdom].\u201d<\/p>\n

British media have published<\/a> photographs of a burqa-clad Mahmood holding a shotgun, and of a child holding an AK-47 machine gun.<\/p>\n

Mahmood\u2019s parents have said<\/a> they cannot understand why their daughter ran away from home to become a jihadist:<\/p>\n

\u201cOur daughter was brought up with love and affection in a happy home, attended Craigholme private school, went to university and was always taught to show respect for mankind and was well integrated into this society. She may believe that the jihadists of ISIS are her new family but they are not and are simply using her.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf our daughter, who had all the chances and freedom in life, could become a bedroom radical, then it is possible for this to happen to any family.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Another British jihadist linked to the Al-Khansaa brigade, a 21-year-old medical student who goes by the name Mujahidah Bint Usama, published pictures<\/a> of herself on Twitter holding a severed head while wearing a white doctor\u2019s jacket. The gruesome image appears alongside the message \u201cDream job, a terrorist doc,\u201d followed by images of smiley faces and love hearts.<\/p>\n

\"twitter<\/a><\/p>\n

Usama\u2019s Twitter account has now been suspended, but in her description of herself she wrote: \u201cRunning away from jihad will not save you from death. You can die as a coward or you can die as a martyr.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet another British jihadist, a 22-year-old convert to Islam named Khadijah Dare<\/a>, has vowed to become the first female jihadist to execute a British or American captive.<\/p>\n

Writing under the Twitter name Muhajirah fi Sham (Arabic for \u201cimmigrant in Syria\u201d), Dare asked for links to video footage of the beheading of James Foley. In a slang-filled tweet she wrote<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cAny links 4 da execution of da journalist plz. Allahu Akbar. UK must b shaking up ha ha. I wna b da 1st UK woman 2 kill a UK or US terorrist!(sic)\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"twitter-khadijah-dare\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In another tweet, Dare wrote:<\/p>\n

\u201cAll da people back in Dar ul kufr [land of disbelievers] what are you waiting for … hurry up and join da caravan to where the laws of Allah is implemented.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one from Lewisham [a borough in southeast London] has come here apart from an 18-year-old sister shame on all those people who afford fancy meals and clothes and do not make hijra [Mohamed\u2019s flight from Mecca to Medina in 622]. Shame on you.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dare was born in London and converted to Islam at age 18, when she began worshipping at the Lewisham Islamic Center, a mosque linked<\/a> to the radical cleric Abu Hamza and the two killers of Lee Rigby.<\/p>\n

Dare moved to Syria in 2012 to marry a Swedish jihadist named Abu Bakr. The marriage was arranged through his mother on Facebook and she did not meet him until the day of their wedding. Dare recently published pictures<\/a> of her son holding an AK-47 rifle.<\/p>\n

In a Channel 4 documentary<\/a> that aired in July 2013, Dare, who at that time went by the name Maryam, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t find anyone in the UK who was willing to sacrifice their life in this world for the life in the hereafter… I prayed, and Allah ruled that I came here to marry Abu Bakr.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She also called on other British Muslims to join the jihad:<\/p>\n

\u201cYou need to wake up and stop being scared of death…we know that there\u2019s heaven and hell. At the end of the day, Allah\u2019s going to question you. Instead of sitting down and focusing on your families or your study, you just need to wake up\u2026.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On August 31, the Daily Mirror<\/em> reported<\/a> that Dare\u2019s jihadist rants have turned her into a \u201ccelebrity jihadi\u201d who has become an \u201cimmense threat\u201d due to her popularity. The newspaper reported that British security services have now made finding her a \u201ctop priority\u201d over fears that radical Muslims are answering her calls to leave the UK to join IS in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

In a four-minute video<\/a> entitled, \u201cAnswering the Call\u2013Foreign Fighters (Mujahedeen) in Syria,\u201d a burka-clad Dare appears firing an AK-47 rifle and pleading with fellow Brits to fight by her side in Syria. Speaking in a London accent, she said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are your brothers and sisters as well and they need your help. So instead of sitting down and focusing on your families or focusing on your studies, you need to stop being selfish because time is ticking.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not all British female jihadists are in their teens and twenties. A 45-year-old British convert to Islam named Sally Jones recently issued threats<\/a> via Twitter to behead Christians. Jones, who changed her name to Umm Hussain al-Britani, wrote:<\/p>\n

\u201cYou Christians all need beheading with a nice blunt knife and stuck on the railings at Raqqa. Come here I\u2019ll do it for you!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Police say Jones<\/a>, who also goes by the name Sakinah Hussain, travelled to Syria in late 2013 after converting to Islam and developing an online romance with a 20-year-old British jihadist from Birmingham named Junaid Hussain.<\/p>\n

\"uk<\/a><\/p>\n

Hussain, who uses the alias Abu Hussain al-Britani, was jailed<\/a> in 2012 for running a computer hacking group known as Team Poison. He escaped<\/a> to Syria in 2013 while on bail, and has been posting extremist messages on social media pledging to conquer the world and kill infidels.<\/p>\n

Police fear<\/a> Hussain is masterminding plan to teach jihadists how to empty the bank accounts of rich and famous Britons to fund terror attacks.<\/p>\n

According to British media<\/a>, Jones, originally from Kent in southeast England, was once an aspiring musician with an all-girl punk rock band but ended up spending a lifetime on social welfare benefits. She is now raising her 10-year-old son from a previous marriage as a Muslim under the Islamic State.<\/p>\n

In an interview<\/a> with The Sunday Times,<\/em> Jones reflected on her new circumstances: \u201cMy son and I love life with the beheaders.\u201d<\/p>\n
