| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the rise of the Islamic State (IS) through its anashid (a cappella), analyzing their lyrics and their musical attributes such as sonic elements, pitch, and harmony, among others. It focuses on key themes that define the group's lyrics and traces the evolution of anashid production and use—an evolution that began with the IS borrowing existing jihad-themed anashid to articulate its message and accompany its video messaging, and led to a far more developed and sophisticated sonic identity in the form of internally produced, group-specific anashid. The IS's claims to legitimacy as the caliphate are sounded out in the group's anashid. The recurring appearance of propaganda in the form of anashid and videos builds a strong case for the genre's significance among the highly complex factors catalyzing an individual's involvement in carrying out violence, especially among recent attacks within Western countries in the name of IS.

| Summary/Abstract |
When the animals in George Orwell’s Animal Farm concluded that their misery could be ‘summed up in a single word’, namely ‘Man’, and became resolved to ‘Remove Man from the scene’, it was a song that propelled them to revolution.1 Old Major the boar, the most highly regarded among the animals, addressed his comrades with a philosophical speech about the ‘tyranny of human beings’, going on to tell them of a dream he had had about life after the disappearance of Man. In particular, he recalled a song from the dream, ‘Beasts of England’, the lyrics of which contained ‘joyful tidings’ of a ‘golden future time’ when ‘tyrant man shall be o’erthrown’ and the fields ‘shall be trod by beasts alone’.2 The song ‘threw the animals into the wildest excitement’, much more so than Old Major’s speech had done, and before long ‘the whole farm burst out into Beasts of England in tremendous unison’.3 In short, the song forged a common bond among the animals, transcending their differences and imbuing Old Major’s plan to eradicate Man with a potency and resonance that his rhetoric had clearly lacked.

| Summary/Abstract |
The ideological literature of jihad excludes women from combat, even though the classical doctrine of defensive jihad (jihad al-daf’) that jihadis invoke stipulates that all Muslims—men, women, children, and slaves—have an obligation to go out to fight (fard ‘ayn) in defense of their territory and their faith. Thus, the validity of the doctrine of defensive jihad is inherently linked to its universal application to all Muslims. Jihadi ideologues and leaders, however, have either purposely refrained from calling on women to make their presence felt on the battlefield as warriors or have explicitly excluded them. This article is an investigation into this lacuna in jihadi ideology. It addresses a dimension that is hardly, if ever, discussed in the academic literature, namely the jihadis’ exclusion of women from combat. This exclusion represents a gaping hole in jihadi ideology and undermines the validity of the jihadis’ defensive jihad.
