"why a number of Quebec women between the ages of 17 and 19 decided to leave for Syria. Many felt that it was difficult to live as a Muslim in a hostile environment that left them feeling stigmatized and/or marginalized. The Western feminist model of emancipation seemed to clash with their desire to stay home and raise a family. In contrast, calls to build and join a utopian state where one can live as a “true” Muslim without harassment, seemed like a panacea for some. "


Don't believe it. The vast majority of the Hundreds of thousands of ISIS fighters and their 'brides' who go to Syria come from Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Iran, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iran, Saudi, UAE, Yemen....all these countries follow the superstitious fundamentalist views of these Quebec women. There is no 'hostile environment' , 'Islamophobia' or 'western women' in those Muslim majority countries . It's the BELIEF system.
