Tunisian Girls Perform “Sexual Jihad” In Syria, Return Pregnant

A number of Tunisian girls, who had
travelled to Syria to perform “sexual
jihad” there, have returned back home
pregnant, Tunisian Interior Minister
Lotfi Bin Jeddo said on Thursday.
The Tunisian girls “are [sexually] swapped
between 20, 30, and 100 rebels, and they
come back bearing the fruit of sexual
contacts in the name of sexual jihad. We
are silent doing nothing and standing idle,”
the non-partisan minister said during an
address to the National Constituent
Assembly.
Bin Jeddo said the interior ministry has
banned 6,000 Tunisians from travelling to
Syria since March 2013 and arrested 86
individuals suspected of forming “networks”
that send Tunisian youth for “jihad” to
Syria.
The minister hit back at human rights
groups criticizing the government’s
decision to ban suspected “jihadists” from
travel. Most of those slapped with travel
bans were less than 35 years old, he said.
“Our youths are positioned in the frontlines
and are taught how to steal and raid
[Syrian] villages,” Bin Jeddo said.
Former Mufti of Tunisia Sheikh Othman
Battikh said in April that 13 Tunisian girls
were “fooled” into travelling to Syria to
offer their sexual services to rebels fighting
to overthrow the regime of President
Bashar al-Assad.
The mufti, who was dismissed from his
post days afterwards, described the so-
called ‘sexual Jihad’ as a form of
prostitution.
“For Jihad in Syria, they are now pushing
girls to go there. 13 young girls have been
sent for sexual jihad. What is this? This is
called prostitution. It is moral educational
corruption,” the mufti told reporters.
In August, general director of the public
security service Mostafa Bin Omar said a
‘sexual jihad cell’ was broken up in an area
west of the country where al-Qaead
fighters holed up.
Bin Omar told reporters that al-Qaeda
affiliate Ansar Shariah was using minor
girls, dressed in the full face cover to offer
sexual services for jihadist male fighters.
