Egypt's state-sponsored Islamic authority warned women Wednesday against marrying fighters from the Islamic State group online, saying such unions would push them into a "circle of terrorism". Dar al-Ifta, the body that issues rulings on Islamic sharia law, said it made the warning after **ticing several IS calls on social networks for girls to marry its jihadists "through video conferences". Such actions would push them into "the circle of extremism and terrorism through illegitimate marriages that neither please Allah or his prophet." The London-based Institute for Strategic Dialogue said in a recent report that women joining the extremist group in Iraq and Syria are expected to marry its fighters, keep house and bear children. Since December, Egypt has imposed restrictions on male citizens between the ages of 18 and 40 travelling to Turkey and Libya to stop them from joining organisations like the Islamic State, which has captured swathes of territory in Iraq and Syria and is **w present in Libya.
