The first Muslim woman to work for the US government's Counterterrorism Center, Qazi found herself fascinated, even obsessed, by the phenomenon of female extremists. Why, she wondered, would a girl from Denver join ISIS, a radical movement known for its mistreatment of women? Why would a teenage Iraqi girl strap on a suicide bomb and detonate it? From Kashmir to Iraq to Afghanistan to Colorado to London, she discovered women of different backgrounds who all had their own reason for joining these movements. Some were confused, others had been taken advantage of, and some were just as radical and dedicated as their male counterparts. But in each case, Qazi found their choices were driven by a complex interaction of culture, context, and capability that was unique to each woman. This book reframes their stories so readers can see these girls and women as they truly are: females exploited by men. Through hearing their voices and sharing their journeys Qazi gained powerful insights not only into what motivated these women but also into the most effective ways to combat terrorism?and about herself as well. ?Through them,? Qazi writes, ?I discovered intervention strategies that are slowly helping women hold on to faith as they struggle with versions of orthodox Islam polluted by extremist interpretations. And in the process, I discovered a gentle Islam and more about myself as a woman of faith.? 606 $aWomen terrorists$zIslamic countries 606 $aWomen radicals$zIslamic countries 606 $aIslamic fundamentalism 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Freedom & Security / Terrorism$2bisacsh 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Women's Studies$2bisacsh 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Islamic Studies$2bisacsh 615 0$aWomen terrorists 615 0$aWomen radicals 615 0$aIslamic fundamentalism. 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Freedom & Security / Terrorism. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Women's Studies. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Islamic Studies. 676 $a363.325088/297082 700 $aQazi$b Farhana$01679175 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827993403321 996 $aInvisible martyrs$94047224 997 $aUNINA
