In the New York Times article, “Jihad and Girl Power: How ISIS Lured 3 London Girls,” Katrin Benhold composed how 16-year-old Khadiza Sultana and 15-year-old Amira Abase and Shamima Begum left their home, Bethnal Green, East London to Syria, join the terrorist organization ISIS.

These men are used to protect borders of connecting countries and used to keep armies like Isis out. The Peshmerga are not strong enough to keep Isis out and Khalaf’s family and the other Yazidi families are forced to give up all weapons and personal belongings to Isis soldiers.

(CNN)Dozens of Yazidi women captured and enslaved by ISIS in 2014 have been moved from the Iraqi city of Mosul to Syria, according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The monitoring group and US military officials have said ISIS militants are fleeing Mosul and heading for Raqqa, Syria, the de facto capital of ISIS, as Iraqi-led forces push to free the key Iraqi city from the terror group.

This article was about the Nigerian school girls that were kidnapped by Boko Haram about two years ago. The author wrote about how the search for the girls isn’t over as well as how the girls rescues are being planned, but the military and government officials from America are afraid that if they attempt to rescue one group of the girls the other will suffer because of it. African officials are afraid that Boko Haram is making the school girls become suicide bombers or giving them the option to become suicide bombers to escape the lives they are facing. They believe that the girls are choosing to be suicide bombers to escape the lives of being trapped, used for childbearing and abused that they have been forced into.

These mahuajirat are then trained and instructed to carry out suicide missions in the West, according to leaked ISIS documents” (“Sally Jones”). Jones played an extremely fundamental role in recruiting and training more women to become suicide bombers. She taught the women how to become killers and emphasized how they should not be afraid to die for their cause. She helped ISIS expand while also increasing terrorism in Europe, especially within the United Kingdom. Contrastingly, the Black Widows are another female terrorist group who became well-known after an attack in 2000, when a woman drove a truck filled with explosives into a Russian Special Forces building.

Over the past decade, armed conflict has escalated Iraq and Syria; subsequently, violence against women has become prevalent among members of the Islamic State. High-ranking officials have normalized the systematic enslavement of thousands of women and have revitalized the practice of sexual slavery in the region. In her essay, “Redeeming Slavery,” Kecia Ali attributes this phenomenon to the Islamic State’s attempted renewal of religious sentiments; even though she disputes claims that this practice represents a correct interpretation of Islamic beliefs, Ali argues that the widespread normalization of sexual slavery is at least portrayed by leaders as a return to the original beliefs and practices of early Muslim authorities. Jessica Stern, in her essay, “Response to Kecia Ali,” agrees with Ali that religious scholars ought not attempt to judge IS’s actions as Islamic or un-Islamic; however, she fundamentally disagrees about the nature and origin of the militant group’s practice of modern slavery. Stern instead attributes it to political expediency and practicality, emphasizing that the allure of sex serves as an important recruitment tool for the group. Though they disagree about the nature of the Islamic State’s relationship to slavery, Ali and Stern both agree that the attempt to situate IS on a rigid binary of Islamic or un-Islamic is problematic and

Despite possible misrepresentation of religions, the facts do not change. People of Christian faith have been persecuted by them.

In that same year, in Dyie, Nigeria, thirteen more Christian villagers were massacred by Muslim raiders in an overnight attack, including a mother and two children burned to death. Victims also had their tongues cut out. In the city of Dogo, Nigeria, Over five-hundred Christians, mostly women and children, were hacked to death by Muslim raiders with machetes in a night-time attack on their village.

This very sickening to read ,but in their country it 's being advocated as okay within confined lines.“A growing body of internal policy memos and theological discussions has established guidelines for slavery, including a lengthy how-to manual issued by the Islamic State Research and Fatwa Department just last month.
