A 22-year-old woman from Lewisham, south-east London, wants to become the first female jihadist to behead a British or US citizen.

Khadijah Dare, who goes under the name Muhajirah fi Sham (‘Immigrant in Syria’) on her Twitter page, tweeted her ambition to become an executioner for the IS cause the day after video emerged of the killing of US journalist James Foley.

Dare posted: ‘Any links 4 da execution of da journalist plz. Allahu Akbar. UK must b shaking up haha. I wna b da 1st UK woman 2 kill a UK or US terorrist!’

Despite spelling terrorist incorrectly, a later tweet declares: ‘I hav no tym 4 arguments wit da ignorant.’




It is believed Dare converted to Islam as a teenager and moved to Syria at some point in 2012. She posts regularly on Twitter, and her page features a picture of her toddler son holding an AK-47.

Twitter makes clear that users are not allowed to make direct threats of violence against others ‘on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, age, or disability’.

But it does allow users to post ‘potentially inflammatory content’, provided they do not violate the Twitter rules.

Metro has contacted Twitter for comment.
