| Summary/Abstract |
Muslims, particularly clerics, should address such double standards in the treatment of women. It is only one of the jihadists’ many hypocrisies that they would promote outrage over the arrest of “their” women while simultaneously targeting “other” women for assassination and slavery. As women increasingly shift to a more active role in politics and conflict, some might consider this development an expression of greater agency. The overall picture suggests that these women continue to be used by men, both jihadists and those in government, to their own ends.
