Something about a WOMAN, of all things, being willing to take up arms against them really threw them off.
Anyone with time feel free to look up and add in here anything on a woman Kurdish fighter with the nomme de guerre of Rehana. I don't have all the details on her. Early in the Caliphate War she became a bit of a charismatic figure among the Kurds.
Then disappeared in battle.
After which an ISIS propaganda video appeared. A bearded fighter held up a Kurdish girl's decapitated head. Reportedly Rehana's. I don't know it it was ever confirmed it was her.
The Islamic State tried to intimidate these worrisome uppity women out of fighting them by vowing that any that they captured they would first "make their wives."
According to some Yazidi girls and women who were taken as war prizes, used as sex slaves, and escaped, what being made their wife meant for some was continual gang rape. A fighter comes in, says I Marry You, rapes the girl, says I Divorce You, goes out. Next ISIS fighter comes in, same thing. All night long. Those were the religious rules their Imams gave them for sex slavery. It made what the fighters were doing moral, in their spin on Islam.
The Kurds Erdogan is attacking today are the incredibly brave people who were our main and best Muslim allies, both in the 2003- 2000whenever chaos we ignited in Iraq. And then in the spin-off past 5 years' war to defeat the IS Caliphate.
Trump getting his "information" about the Kurds from Erdogan is like someone having gotten their "information" about the Armenians from Ataturk. Ataturk killed lots of Armenians in western Turkey.
Edit:
Dunno how to post pics yet, but this is/was Kurdish fighter Rehanna early in the Caliphate War, in the Syrian town of Kobani.

I looked at an image of the IS fighter holding up the girl fighter's head above her dead body, in victory -- and ugh I suggest you don't -- and to me it looked like her. But I see counterclaims it wasn't her and she was still fighting. So, I don't know. But some girl in fatigues and with a long hair braid got decapitated.
