Feds: Denver Teen Intended to Wage 'Sex Jihad'.

According to London-based the Middle-East newspaper, FBI opened a case, investigating about the alleged recruitment of young American girls by the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) to entertain the Islamist rebels sexually.

Omar Abu-Khalid the representative of Somali community in Minneapolis, told FBI officials that in the past three months, several Somali parents have informed the police that their daughter are missing and are believed to join ISIS to perform sexual Jihad.

Mr. Abu Khalid also disclosed that two twin teenagers from the Somali community from Saint Paul, Minnesota were disappeared after telling their mother that they wish to attend a marriage ceremony of a close friend.

The federal authorities say Shannon Conley, a 19-year-old woman, intended to wage sexual jihad was apprehended in Denver international airport last Monday. Conley confessed to her investigators that she met a young Arab man on internet and later she converted to Wahhabi faith (deviant Sunni Islam cult adopted by Saudi government).

Jihad Al-Nikah (Arabic: جهاد النكاح?, often translated as Sex jihad or Sexual jihad) is a controversial concept that refers to Sunni women allegedly offering themselves in sexual comfort roles to fighters for the establishment of Islamic rule.[1]

Allegations of this practise is related to the Tunisian government's war effort against Al Qaida linked Islamic terrorism in the mountainous Jebel ech Chambi region bordering Algeria. The Tunisian coalition government alleges that the practise began with Tunisian girls sympathetic to the Islamic jihad movement there, and then spread with Tunisian girls volunteering comfort to Syrian jihadis. [2]

Publicity first arose in 2013, and the veracity of the alleged practice became the subject of greater debate in September 2013 after the Interior Minister of Tunisia made a public statement as a significant issue http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_jihad

According to some media outlets, after this supposed fatwa ISIS fighters allegedly told families to "hand over [their] daughters for sex". Despite Sheikh Mohamad al-Arefe's denial, the Daily Mirror reported that "leaflets in the captured cities of Mosul and Tikrit claim the women—virgins or not—must join jihad (...) and cleanse themselves by sleeping with militants. Those that refuse to do so are violating God’s will, it is claimed, and will be beaten or killed. ISIS fighters have been taking women captive in Syria since last year [2013] when a Saudi-based cleric issued a fatwa (...) telling them to."[13][14] It has also been suggested that Sunni women from Australia, the United Kingdom and Malaysia have voluntarily joined ISIS as comfort women.[15]

What the hell is sexual jihad?
If I have sex with a Muslim, I'm converted? I mean, this is the dumbest damn thing I've ever heard.

have been unhappy with her predicament once she got to Syria. Do young women like this WANT to be raped, tortured, and treated like captive breeding animals? Or do they somehow think they'll be treated well, and valued? Is it a brainwashing issue, a self-esteem/attention issue? It's totally baffling to me.
