Writing in Ibnat al-Islam (“Daughter of Islam”) magazine:

“Ladies, we need to detox — we need to unlearn the toxic and damaging messages we’ve been programmed to believe by feminism. Here is the truth that we need to replace the lies with....

“Don’t choose a career over a family. Choose to be a wife and mother over being a corporate slave.

“Do not be a modern woman of the ‘strong, independent’ variety. Be a traditional woman.

“Marriage is not a 50-50 egalitarian partnership of two leaders. Your husband is the leader. Sit back and enjoy it.

“As a wife, you are not in charge. Neither are you your husband’s ‘partner’. You certainly give your input, but your husband has a headship.

“Masculine men like feminine women. Feminine women like masculine men. Don’t be androgynous.”Dipesh Gadher, “Ignore feminism, be an obedient wife: al-Qaeda’s tips for women,” Times (London), November 7, 2021, https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/ignore-feminism-be-an-obedient-wife-al-qaedas-tips-for-women-g5lz85hr6.
