On March 4, 2011, the Al-Qaeda-affiliated Al-Fajr Media Center released the first issue of "Al-Shamikha," a jihadist electronic magazine for women. The magazine, published by a new media company called "Al-Shamikha Media Foundation" and posted on several jihadi forums, features advice and tips for women from a hard-line Islamic perspective, alongside articles meant to inculcate jihadist ideology and values.
The editor's name is given as Saleh Youssef, and a man named Muhammad Al-Mashhadani is listed as being responsible for "security and contacts." The articles themselves are mostly written by women.
