Umm Umar's marriage to an ISIS fighter in Syria, "Life without a mahram [close male relative] here can get quite difficult," she told. He had been "so so sweet and caring", but had been killed just a couple of months earlier. She was now the wife of a Shaheed [martyr] and was being honoured. "U dnt hav 2 pay 4 ANYTHING if u r wife of a Shaheed," she told.

On the other side, whoever has crossed the border to join ISIS regrets for the loss of their life for taking it for real the utopian Islamic state where there is little poverty and inequality, governed with perfect fairness under clear-cut, divine laws that work to the advantage of all. Many girls who have crossed over had told to Nabeelah Jaffer a freelance writer and a contributing editor at Aeon magazine.

“The sickest thing I’ve ever done in my life is cross that Turkish border,” said Umm Umar on Twitter. “I’ll never forget that night.” The names in the article are not real, they are changed for the safety of the individuals.

Small girls of even less than the age of 16 are being lured to the terrorist organization for the pleasure of fighters.

Non-Muslim girls are being put for sale in the slave market. Young girls are paraded nude, so that the customers can see and feel the girls and then purchase them for work and pleasure. The inhumane treatment towards females of other beliefs has surprised the world. In the name of God and religion, these barbarians are exploiting the females and twisting the holy book of Quran to find excuse and satisfy themselves of their wrong doings.
