https://twitter.com/jihadmatchmaker--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Radical websites like Jihad Matchmaker, which offers to arrange marriages between Muslim women and Jihadists, have been blamed for encouraging young, impressionable girls to travel to Syria. Hundreds of besotted British women have put marriage proposals to jihadists fighting on the front line with Islamic State, according to security sources. One European fighter in Syria who has become a pin-up jihadi fighter has been bombarded with proposals from women all over the world, desperate to be associated with a 'holy warrior'
Jihad Matchmaker, which states it is based in Syria, uses the motto keep it halal and get married.
Its official Twitter account says: Jihad Matchmaker is here to link up those seeking marriage in Syria in a halal manner.'
It is not known how many jihadi brides it has matched to jihadi fighters but it has 378 followers, many of whom are young Western Muslim women.
Last year it was forced to deny it was linked to any terrorist groups after it was alleged to been responsible for helping to radicalise teenage girls in the UK.
It encourages Muslim women seeking a jihadi husband to make contact through a third party or agent who can represent the girls interests under Islamic law.
It also claims: 'All actions will be conducted via Shariah acceptable routes and means once agreement and compatibilities are established.'

(55,445 posts)There are headhunters who get paid big $$$ to lure, recruit, screen and deliver prospective wives to the ISIS chieftains (ironically, there is a premium on Nordic and/or Western educated women)
Of course, they wouldn't be as fucking stupid to use something as obvious as "Jihad Matchmaker"...That has to be an elaborate troll job or something....
