All-Female ISIS Brigade Cracks Down on Women in Raqqa
ABC News ^ | July 20, 2014 | Ahmad Al-Bahri, deep in Syria

Shortly after the Sunni militant group the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) retook control of Raqqa earlier this year, it created the al-Khansaa' Brigade, an all-female unit operating in the city. Its purpose is to apprehend civilian women in Raqqa who do not follow the organization's strict brand of Sharia law, including a mandate that all women be fully covered in public and that they be accompanied by a male chaperone.

"We have established the brigade to raise awareness of our religion among women, and to punish women who do not abide by the law," says Abu Ahmad, an ISIS official in Raqqa. "There are only women in this brigade, and we have given them their own facilities to prevent the mixture of men and women."

He says the organization, which has been pushing further into eastern Syria after taking control of the Iraqi city of Mosul and key points on the Iraq-Syria border last month, needs a female brigade to "raise awareness among women, and arrest and punish women who do not follow the religion correctly. Jihad is not a man-only duty. Women must do their part as well."

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....

Interesting development ... Seeing more and more burkas so best bet is they are already here too moving amongst us.

So if the women have to be escorted does that mean their hubbies are traveling along with these whackos?

I think I would have worded the headline very differently. I was, shall we say, expecting another type of article. Think of the “B” movies (for ‘art houses’)that could have used that title.

Hopefully Sandra Fluke will experience these people first-hand some day, since she’s helping bring it all about.

Good. The main goal of anti terrorism is to bring terror into their heartlands. This is precisely it. I hope that CIA is behind atleast some of it.

Let Muslims kill each other over the claim of true Islam. We should arm both sides and not let this quiet down. If these scum continue to kill each other, they will have less time and resources to kill us.

Onward, Islamist wackos... lay ruin as you move across your own lands. And remain primitive and full of religious fervor.

We did a pretty good job of feeding the fire in the Iran/Iraq war.

Of course, our Muslim-loving President will not mention anything related to the real war on women.

And the libtards still call this the religion of peace.

Try to coexist who will kill you for not believing exactly what they believe.

" .. that all women be fully covered in public and that they be accompanied by a male chaperone."

Y'know ... I've read this a hundred times and it just now occured to me to ask ... why ?

I know, I know ... they're sick bastards .. but even sicko's generally have a reason for something.

What is the purpose of the full cover and male chaperone ?

I imagine the full cover is to prevent such delectible beauties from enticing otherwise good and holy islamic men (puke) ... but why the chaperone ?

A holocaust is occurring in Iraq..ISIS kills everyone who doesn’t convert to Islam..that is something that won’t get reported in the media since they are too busy kissing Hamas’s ass

The implication seems to be that Muslim women are incorrigible whores.
