A flying “mule with the face of a woman.”
Is this a mainstream belief?
And if so, are we supposed to treat these people seriously?

I don’t know. I’ve seen a woman with the face of a mule.

The Hadith do not explicitly refer to the Buraq as having a human face, Near East and Persian art almost always portrays it so.
Note that Judeo-Christianity also has strange beasts especially in the old testament and then in the book of revelation.
