Replying to @AmanKJEsq
Yes. I think there isn't much focus on tackling jihadi women for 2 reasons: 1) They do not usually carry out actual attacks. 2) Going after them (handcuffing, strip-searching) would be portrayed as sacrilege & humiliation, giving jihadis fuel for their oppression narrative.

A primary impetus for jihad is the perceived assault on the dignity of Muslim women. One block away from me, when Taimour al-Abdaly's wife was arrested, the local ALM immediately began making up lies about her having hijab ripped off and being strip-searched. Angered many locals.
