Felat noted that "our male friends are used to this path and are not surprised by this anymore; they respect and support us." As far as their male enemies, ISIS fighters believe they won't be admitted into paradise if they're killed by a woman.

I don't want us in Syria at all...but the Kurds should be supported.

Oh, but what about Turkey, one of our allies in the region? They don't like us helping the Kurds, who they consider a terrorist group.
