11. Great article but the section on women and ISIS isn't very informative

"ISIS is dedicated to oppressing women, and uses rape as a weapon to terrify the population into submission in territory it controls. Somehow, perversely, it has managed to enlist large numbers of women to help in that awful effort."


There's no answer in this piece on how this group is getting large numbers of women to voluntarily don burqas, enable mass rape, and brutalize their Muslim sisters.

Because that answer may reveal a lot about why this group is so attractive to the type of man that joins too and how this group manages keep the fanaticism alive and hot for so long.
