Terror groups prefer to use women to groom potential new members on social media because of their 'empathy and soft approach', researchers found.
Both Islamist organisations such as ISIS, and far-right terrorists, use women to target vulnerable individuals on social media, radicalise them and persuade them to join their 'cause'.
Research carried out on behalf of Facebook found that ISIS in particular had successfully used this tactic.
British 'ISIS wife' Aqsa Mahmood, from Glasgow, is one such woman recruiter, who is known to have urged British Muslims to join the terror organisation in Syria on social media platforms
'They [women terrorists] put in the hours... That's when radicalisation works best,' Erin Saltman, lead manager of counterterrorism policy at Facebook, said according to The Times.
'They're very good at recruitment because it's a very human process - they're playing on grievances with world problems and offer membership to an extremist group as the solution.
'That's what is being sold and women are very good at those dialogues.'
Several British women who are known to have left the country to join ISIS in Syria in recent years have been actively trying to recruit others using social media.
Aqsa Mahmood, from Glasgow, Scotland, went to Syria to marry an ISIS fighter aged 20 in 2014, having been radicalised online.
Propaganda: This photo was posted by Mahmood from ISIS's so-called caliphate in Syria as part of her online recruitment campaign
Terror twins: Zahra and Salma Halane, from Manchester, left the UK shortly after finishing sixth form in 2014, and became ISIS wives in Syria
Once in Syria, Mahmood began tweeting jihadist propaganda in a bid to lure other young British Muslims to join the brutal regime.
Calling herself Umm Layth, Mahmood would post pictures of herself and other foreign ISIS-wives, covered in black from head to toe, and write about their 'happy' lives in the so-called caliphate.
Salma and Zahra Halane, known as the 'terror twins', left Manchester in June 2014 to join ISIS, and are then said to have been painting a romanticised image of life in Syria on social media.
They are said to have been radicalised over the internet themselves.
In October 2015 it emerged that they had been trying to encourage others to join ISIS.
One message, sent by Zahra to encourage her two younger brothers to sign up as ‘future mujaheddin’, read: ‘We might seem evil to you, but we will all be happy in jannah [the afterlife].
‘Are you coming to Dawlah [ISIS]? They will train you up. You will meet boys from England, China, Ireland, Sweden, FROM EVERYWHERE. Want to see my Kalash [Kalashnikov]?? Ha ha ha.’

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
