A Brave New World - Women Stand Up Against the ISIS

ISIS fear the female fighters (http://www.mirror.co.uk/)

ISIS is the name that puts the fear of god in the civilized world. They slit throats, burn people alive, drown

people alive and they do all the killings in the most extreme way possible. It is really an uphill battle to

stand up against them. That is why most of the Syrian men run away from them. When men run like

cowards, Syrian women decided to make a stand against this ruthless terrorist organization. The world

might think women must be easy game for a ruthless terrorist organization like “ISIS”. But the reality is

female fighters have the upper hand when it comes to the fight against these Islamic extremists. Because if

an ISIS terrorist gets killed by a female, that terrorist won’t get his “Jannah” (Paradise after the death), in

other words “He won’t get his 72 virgins”.

According to the Greek mythology there was a female warrior tribe called “Amazons”. “Female Protection

forces of the land between the rivers“is the all new Christian female militia and it is no myth. It comprises

of women who belong to the Syriac Christian minority in north eastern Syria. Those women leave behind

their jobs and loved ones in order to put an end to the reign of terror which inflicted by the “ISIS”. Also

these women want to show they can do more than just housekeeping and putting on makeup. Currently

this group is small in numbers but expected to grow in numbers in the near future. Even though they are

small in numbers, they fight like the “Amazons”. Their main objective is to keep Syriac Christians safe and

keep ISIS at bay. Syriac Christians belong to the eastern Christian tradition.

Not only Syrian Christian women, Kurdish women also fighting against the ISIS. A female Kurdish fighter

named “Rehana” killed more than 100 terrorists. ISIS fear to get killed by a woman, but they don’t hesitate

to torture the female fighters they catch. So these brave female warriors always spare a bullet in their

weapon to take out their own life just in case if they seem to get captured. They believe there is no shame

in taking their own life rather than getting captured and tortured. There are rumors spreading around say

that these women were trained by foreign forces. But there is no concrete evidence to prove that.

One way or another we really have to admire the courage of these women. Not only they are fighting

against the ISIS, also they are fighting against Gender Inequality in an indirect way. Their courage is not

second to a man’s courage. They could have easily abandoned their homes and could have sought asylum

in Europe. But they didn’t. Instead of carrying fancy hand bags, they carry AK47 guns. Instead of sitting in

sofas they wait in their barracks. These women already sacrificed more things than anyone could have

imagined. In few years’ time their names will be written as “The Amazons of the 21st Century“.
