    abstract = {Insofar as terrorism is usually associated with
men, the phenomenon of Muslim women joining groups
like Daesh and Al Qaeda and that the fact they are usually
recruited on the Internet have aroused much interest.
Accordingly, a qualitative content analysis was performed
on articles written for Muslim women appearing in the
official magazines of both groups, with a view to
examining the gender narrative employed by them as a
decisive factor in fostering female radicalisation. Both
groups clearly advocate for gender inequality, giving
Muslim women the traditional and by no means passive,
roles of mothers and wives. Daesh, above all, promotes
very strict social gender stereotypes and rules, justifying
them on the basis of its interpretation of the Islamic
sacred texts. In the content published in the magazines of
both groups there are three factors that may go a long way
to engaging Muslim women: a feeling of sisterhood and
belonging; their religious duty to construct an Islamic
‘state’ and a sense of empowerment that makes them feel
that their role is essential to the survival of such groups.}
