Reappraisal of Women's Status in ISIS’s Violent Gender Discourse

The rise and spread of Salafi-Takfiri movements is one of the subjects that has seriously attracted the attention of socio-political analysts. Perhaps can be told, ISIS is the most radical Takfiri group that world has ever seen already. ISIS has been shaped from very different composition such as literates, illiterates, religious fanatics, children, women, and foreigners. More than 550 Muslim women has been attained to ISIS from western countries. In this research, by explanative and discursive methodology with emphasis on theoretical framework of Lacla and Moffe, has been tried to answer this question: what is the position of women in ISIS’ discourse and why? In answer to this question, the hypothesis is that: in ISIS discourse by axis of Islam as central signifier and important factor in making of Islamic State (Caliphate), the women has high position beside of men due to these reasons: breeding in the path of making Islamic Society (Ommah), jihadi mothers for consolidation of Islamic society, emancipation of Muslim women from secular society and suicide attacks and intimidating of the west.
