I'm sorry I wasn't speaking of muslim girls. I am speaking of American women, and any other country. I really don't understand why these women would give up a life of freedom, and the ability to make one's self heard. This situation is far above my intellect.
"NUFFSAID"
There is a case of three Colorado teenagers who flew to Germany to join the Islamic State group, a model example of terrorist recruitment by social media. The suburban Denver girls were just a few among hundreds enticed to join the terror organization in Syria by such methods.
The Colorado girls, a 16-year-old girl of Sudanese descent, and two 15 and 17 year-old sisters of Somali descent, shared militant recruitment videos.The girls followed online jihadists from around the world, including the United Kingdom, Canada, the Netherlands and Syria," Rita Katz, director and co-founder of the Bethesda, Maryland-based nongovernmental organization, said in her report. Online recruiters have successfully won over Westerners, including Americans. The girls purchased their tickets in cash, but they never made it to their final destination. The teens were brought back to the U.S. two days later.
How were the teens radicalized? In addition to following online jihadists from around the world, the teens followed the Twitter account "Jihadi News." In fact, all three of them spent extensive time on social media sites like Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.
Recruitment is reportedly a priority for ISIS for both males and females, but there has been an emphasis on luring women after the group announced the goal of BUILDING ITS OWN NATION. In a recent campaign, Muslim females of all ages are encouraged to leave their homes for Syria. That campaign reached the Colorado teens. The campaign provides the propaganda, the communications, and the information on why--and very specifically how--Muslim females of all ages must leave their homes and travel to Syria, Katz said.
AND HERE IS OUR REAL PROBLEM, JMOSES: These sites that lure young women have no competition. We leave the Radical Islamists to spew their deceitful propaganda to impressionable young girls and offer them no alternative in exchange. These jihadists are, frighteningly, quite successful at it. So again, political correctness is taking its toll on truth - only this time, it could cause us the loss of our children.
Can you conceive of this Apologetic American Administration sanctioning a video which illustrates the abuse of Islamic women? In addition to not even being able to say the words, RADICAL ISLAMISTS, they couldn't even attend a Solidarity March to condemn these murderers of innocents!!! Perhaps if there were some videos that illustrated the abuse Islamic women must endure, we could present our young women with an honest representation, rather than a distorted view of the ISIS lifestyle. Perhaps then they may learn what some of the tenets of the Islamic "religion" has in store for them:
Surah 4:34 - Men are superior to women, and may beat their wives if they disobey.
Men have authority over women because God has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because God has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them. Then if they obey you, take no further action against them. Surely God is high, supreme.
Surah 4:24 - You may keep women who are captured in war as your possessions, and you may have sex with them.
And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess.
BTW, jmoses - This situation is not above your intellect - it's beyond reason. When we have acquired a past history of experience and logic and see how vulnerable and naive our children have become, it is a challenge to common sense. When we have an administration that is deceptive, and politically and ideologically prejudicial as well, our country is bearing the cost. It is your intellect that is making you correctly question the development of this absurdity.
