GREAT MOMENTS IN FEMINIST EMPOWERMENT! “ISIS thinks female jihadis should stay in the kitchen. Tashfeen Malik disagreed,” A headline above an article by Yahoo’s Liz Goodwin notes:

Malik, a 29-year-old Pakistani citizen with an infant, pledged loyalty to ISIS on Facebook before the deadly attack. But her actions do not necessarily reflect the ideals and rules ISIS has laid out for women and their role in the caliphate.

ISIS has so far said publicly that Malik and her husband, Syed Rizwan Farook, were “supporters of the caliphate” — refraining from calling them “soldiers,” as they have described followers in the past.

The group’s propaganda targeting Western women often features burka-clad girls toting AK-47s. ISIS’s message stresses the “empowerment” of women, according to Mia Bloom, a terror expert and professor at Georgia State University. It has been more successful in recruiting U.S. women than any other terror group, notes Karen Greenberg, the director of the Center on National Security at Fordham University’s School of Law. The group claims that feminism has failed women and that in the caliphate, they will be able to be their true, nurturing selves.

Smash the bonds of patrimony with pipe bombs! Plus this:

The strict rules for women inside the caliphate are also different from what ISIS encourages women to do in their home countries, Katz said. ISIS videos that call for lone wolf attacks in the West are addressed to Muslims in general instead of “brothers,” a semantic distinction that clearly includes women.

Well, if there’s one thing we’ve learned from college campuses throughout America this year, the wrong kind of language can really be “triggering” to the impressionable — and taking the uber-PC tone of the above article to its natural conclusion, who knows what sorts of violations to a “safe space” can occur next?
