Episode 4239: TERRORISTS’ FORGOTTEN WOMEN & CHILDREN

Women and children in terrorist lands are ‘Prisoners of War’. 

In Syria, they’ve become a breeding ground, a ticking time 

bomb, and in Afghanistan, they are being forced back into 

the dark ages under the Taliban. 

First, we look at the refugee camps and prisons in 

Syria, where the children of ISIS brides are growing older 

every day. The brutal conditions and their moms, some of

whom are still ‘wed’ to ISIS ideology, are causing them to 

become radicalized. Indeed, some of these males have had

to be transferred to prisons for ISIS fighters because of how 

violent they have already become - further radicalizing 

them into ‘ISIS 2.0’.

Next, you will hear the heart-wrenching story of Yusuf

Zahab, an Australian boy, whose elder brother, an ISIS 

recruiter, brought the family to the Middle East to become 

terrorists. Yusuf, only 11 years old when he was drafted, got 

separated from his mother and siblings, ending up in prison. 

When ISIS attacked the prison to free former members, 

Yusuf was injured and recently died. You will hear the 

messages he managed to get out to family left in Australia, 

begging for help, describing conditions in the prison and 

conveying his last words through tears. 

Lastly, we go to Afghanistan, where, though the Taliban 

had promised to treat women well, they broke their promise 

as soon as American troops were hastily pulled out in a 

debacle that continues to endanger - not only Afghans - but 

America. You will hear women’s stories of how their life has 

drastically changed and forced them back into hijabs, 

burqas, child marriages and dank basements.
