The shocked parents of a young woman from Scotland say shes been recruiting Western sisters to join ISIS. Will the next waves of suicide bombers include women?
She was raised in a well-heeled Glasgow suburb, attended an exclusive Scottish girls school that could have come from the pages of Muriel Sparks novel The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, and is described by bewildered family and friends as a once sweet, intelligent and peaceful girl. But yesterday the parents of 20-year-old Aqsa Mahmood revealed she is one of the female jihadists behind the online campaign reported on by The Daily Beast to recruit Western girls.
Western terrorist experts think the operation is a drive endorsed by the self-proclaimed Islamic State, widely known as ISIS or ISIL, to lure Western women to the marriage beds of the caliphates holy warriors, and it relies on those already enlisted to promote jihad.
Potential recruits are told their main role in the Islamic revolution will be through matrimony and childbearing, not martyrdom. And Mahmood, using the Twitter handle Umm Layth, has been highly active on Twitter and on her blog trying to persuade would-be sisters in Europe and the United States to travel to the Middle East to help ISIS establish its extremist vision of a militant Islamic utopia.
Mahmood ran off last November, according to her parents, who reported her as missing to police, and she is understood to have married a jihadist fighter soon after arriving in the Syrian city of Aleppo...

Curious as to what her actual birth name is, and what ethnicity she and her parents are?
Good Scottish girl.
MacMood?
“In a statement read by their lawyer, her clearly distraught Pakistani-born parents warned yesterday: If our daughter who had every chance and freedom in life could become a bedroom radical, then it is possible for it to happen to any family. Her father built a successful business and the family lives in $800,000 sandstone house in a posh Glasgow suburb. Term fees at her girls school, Craigholme, are $6,000.”
I doubt they are shocked as I’m sure every Friday at mosque their imam preaches no different than what IS promotes. And I’m sure the parents talked of the vilent jihadis with revence in their home and blamed the west for islamic terrorist acts..

Which of these is not like the others?
Yikes.
From the article.....In a statement read by their lawyer, her clearly distraught Pakistani-born parents warned yesterday: If our daughter who had every chance and freedom in life could become a bedroom radical, then it is possible for it to happen to any family. p>
Her secret was she's a lesbo?
That’s a new term; “Bedroom Radical”. I don’t think it involves multiple partners though.
Do you suppose she is troubled by MacMood swings?
Well played...
From the article “her clearly distraught Pakistani-born parents ...”
When you import the third world....
Reminds me of our older daughter who was a Christian before going to college at Boulder,CO where she became a radicalized liberal who hated far right winged Christians...when I reminded her that I am one of those far right winged Christians, the response was the breaking point in our relationship and we have not spoken since........welcome to communism taking control over our children in our school system.................
Reminds me of the upper middle class German chicks who joined the Bader-Meinhoff gang, or American chicks who joined the Weather Underground and fringe groups like the Symbianese Liberation Army.
” Aqsa Mahmood”.
I think they spelled the name wrong. It must be Alice MacMood.
Well, send her over there.
Revoke her citizenship and never, never allow her to come back. I’m sure she’ll love living in a black bag for the rest of her life.
So, Islam actually encourages your women to take up the occupation of public mattress?
Why would anyone do this?
