The Islamic State has inspired dozens of women to attempt
terrorist attacks in its name in Europe. One all-female cell
allegedly planned several attacks in France over a matter of
days in September 2016, including an attempt to blow up
gas cylinders near Notre Dame Cathedral. The suspected
plotters were largely radicalized online, and social media
was integral to both their recruitment and plotting. One
of the Islamic State’s ‘virtual entrepreneurs,’ Rachid Kassim,
helped guide their activities. Though the alleged plots
failed, Kassim exploited the dedication shown by these
women to shame males into attempting a subsequent wave
of attacks.
