The Islamic State has tried every trick in the hat to recruit as many people as it can into joining their self-proclaimed ‘Caliphate’ and now, for the first time, they have appointed a female spokesperson to lure more Muslim women into their fold.
According to reports, the woman spokesperson is featured in their new video and is seen wearing a full-length burqa that covers her face and makes it difficult to establish her identity.
While their propaganda videos have always been dominated by either men or boys, the terror group has announced the new move in a short video titled ‘Foundation of the Euphrates’.
ISIS had recently unveiled a magazine called ‘Majestic’, which exclusively caters to women readers and is given to people who live in territories controlled by them.
The appointment of the woman spokesperson is widely seen as a move to appeal to the fairer gender to join jihad.
Many women from across the world are known to have traveled to Syria to join the terror group. Girls as young as 15 have deserted their families over promises of ‘young, handsome’ grooms and a life of riches, only to be jilted by the harsh realities of a life of jihad.
Only last week, British teenager Kadiza Sultana, who ran away from home in January 2015 with two other schoolgirls, was killed in an airstrike in the city of Raqqa.
