Revenge against ISIS

Here is another story from London's Daily Mail, which is kicking the butts of American media all over the map.


Revenge: The 'Sun Girls' (pictured), an all-female batallion of Yazidi women, are fighting back against the ISIS fighters who have enslaved and raped thousands of their women.


Leader: The brigade's founder and commander is Xate Shingali (pictured), a renowned singer who performed traditional folklore music all over northern Iraq

The story is by Owen Holdaway In Dohuk, Iraq For Mailonline.

ISIS kidnapped thousands of Yazidi women and very young girls when it stormed their villages in Sinjar province, northern Iraq, in August 2014.

Those who escaped from their clutches have told of how they endured unimaginable cruelty and sexual abuse at the hands of the ISIS fighters they were forced to marry.

...Xate says the group is unofficially known as the 'Sun Girls' because the Yazidis believe the sun protects them, adding: 'The sun is something holy.'

And there is a rumour in the Yazidi community that ISIS fighters are scared of being killed by a woman because they worry they will not be rewarded with '72 virgins in heaven'.

'ISIS will never go to heaven,' Xate laughed when asked about the rumour, 'We will kill them.'
