My take away from reading it is the higher ups are promising sex for the men and love for the women if they lose their lives. In addition they encounter so much violence at home that their quality of life is low enough to make suicide a more attractive option.
It's an interesting article for sure, but I notice that at the end of the article she mentions only using different "sticks" to punish violent behaviors. Where are the "carrots", the incentives for non-violent behaviors? People almost universally respond to them better. If this is about people feeling there is no other way out of all of the injustices of their sh***y life ( and I do believe she is right there) give them a way out.
They all say the same thing - and it's because of the Salafist propaganda that Saudi Arabia has spread with the money we pay them for oil. Of course, the Iranians (whose only major crop is oil, and weapons, and some very good pistachios) were also using Shiite Islamic propaganda to send waves of thousands of young Iranian "martyrs" to their deaths when they were used as waves of human mine-detonating mine clearers in the Iraq-Iran war in the 80s. So the death cult is not just a Sunni fetish.
How can we protect ourselves against this, a religion whose adherents long for death, truly believing that they will earn a paradise of earthly pleasures in the next life, by dying in the act of murdering others?
Imagine if in the US the daughters were kept under lock and key.
The rich older men and their families would have many wives.
Average age was 19, unemployment something like 40%.
Most young men only has a skill of "religious studies", marriage requires dowery money....which they'll never have.
That was Syria prior to their civil war. Initially they managed to direct the anger against Jews, the US in Iraq etc. but they finally ran out of distractions.
It's not so hard to get an 18yo, especially if struggling with any number of issues, no job, no chance of ever having wife or kids....to buy into an illusion.

You pull out of that region and let them fight their own fight. And you become energy independent.
