"Inside The Lives Of The Wives And Widows Of ISIS"

"Even as Twitter tries to delete accounts associated with ISIS, women claiming to be members of the group continue to use the platform as both a recruiting tool and a support group, providing outsiders with a unique glimpse into the everyday lives of female jihadis.

Six months after its initial investigation, BuzzFeed News takes another look at the women who travel to Syria and join ISIS. Some are new mothers, many are widows, and others have died... Many of the images appear to be an attempt to convey the “normalcy” and “freedom” of life in ISIS-controlled territory... Since so many ISIS members use social media, it’s possible to track a relationship from marriage to “martyrdom.”"

Fascinating. Fascinating fascinating fascinating. I am recognizing a set of assumptions that I have when I see these images and posts that are totally in the context of 2015 social media. I had this idea in the back of my head of sort of subdued victims distant from modern technology.
