From what I've heard the only way you can tell the different between the Kurdish genders is that the MEN have the fuller mustaches and beards. A little bit of Kurdish humor as the Kurds DO intermarry.
Women fighting along side men means that their culture is doomed. Women can best fight from a control panel back at the base, aiming the bombs and drones at their targets.
In hand-to-hand combat women are dead meat. But before that they may be subject to gang-platoon-rape.
Combat is no place for women and SAD is the culture that requires them to be in combat fighting men.
I find your posts here in particular insulting and completely ignorant. You're entitled to your opinion, but do not post to me again.
I’d hit them too, oy vey!!
That’s because feminism is all about being a victim. Being an armed woman is all about not being a victim.
100% agreement from me and my HEARDFELT SORROW for these women as well.
====================================
The Kurds want their own country. But, it would entail getting some land from Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria, where Kurds now live. THAT will never, ever, happen. They are all Muslim, so they would PROBABLY feel better being in a Muslim country. I guess they are doomed to being angry and disenfranchised...in Syria, Turkey, Iran and Iran. No-win for everyone.
It's a no-win for the young angry ISIS/ISIL as well--as I see it.
Do you remember all those gangs of ANGRY young black men in this country.? NOTHING made them happy; they just wanted to kill, vent, scream and kill some more. These ISIS/ISIL young men remind me forcibly of our own disenfranchised ANGRY, YOUNG BLACK MEN.
Everyone will lose over there as there is NO WAY that modern Syria, Turkey, Iran and Iraq will implement the Koran as a way of life for THEIR 21st century. THAT is what these young, angry fanatics want: an ISLAMIC STATE. It AIN'T going to happen. If Saudi Arabia didn't do it, NO one will and the Saudis are the most vehement about Islam.
The Saudis ARE an Islamic state but now ALSO have PETROLEUM, natural gas AND Mecca. Obscene wealth and fervent faith don't often mix well. They CAN and they SHOULD but...
The Saudi Bedouin were some of God's poorest people on the earth. ALL THEY HAD was Islam. However, NOW they have all the petroleum and natural gas in the world. It's an interesting mix. [THAT is where we lived for FIVE YEARS.]
Saudi Arabia: Unlimited wealth AND the center of Islam = very interesting mix. ISIS/ISIL will do NO better!
Lol.
مع السلامة
You are the moron. She is defending her life and liberty and you are just being an cowardly ass.
She is pretty, loves guns and hates ragheads. A great combination IMHO.
And YOU stoop to name calling. Way to use your brains.
What you ARE showing are your lack of manners, lack of self control, inability to argue a point and unabashed believe in Internet news stories as if they are 100% true and accurate.
Why don't you complete the circuit by throwing yourself on the floor, drumming your heels and screaming?
YOU don't know the middle east. I do. We LIVED and worked there FIVE years and we traveled all over the middle and near east.
Our home in Saudi Arabia was 100 yards from the Persian Gulf. The local folks over THERE call it the ARABIAN GULF.
We (Saudis, Americans, Brits, Filippinos, Pakistanis, Indians, etc.) were as protected as the Saudi and American air forces could keep us.
ONE missile from Iraq, a couple of bombs from bombers or an offshore submarine bomb COULD have wiped out a lot of us. Our Air Force has been there since the early 1980's. At least that was the rumor. We never saw squat. We just trusted that all that petroleum and natural gas was worth protecting. They were.
I WILL pray for this young woman. I will pray that God protects her and gets her safely home to her family. THAT is all that I can do.
Odd that NO ONE here has mentioned prayers. Well I do mention them and she is in my prayers.
God be with YOU and yours too.
I've never heard that about feminism. But you are 100% correct.
Being armed is good. Being with a couple of very protective dogs is good too, both at home and on the streets. The dogs give a woman (or man) time to pull out the gun.
My choice is a nice little Beretta. My husband taught me to shoot it. I got so I could hit Osama bin Laden's beard 9/10 times at twenty feet.
Yea yea, that makes you look even more the fool.
And even more cowardly.
You called a brave woman fighting for her life, liberty and country a MORON!
Apologize to her and I will apologize to you. Otherwise, stop being a hypocrite!
DOUBLE God bless you and yours, Balding_Eagle.
She is STILL going to be in my prayers.
Please forgive my being blunt. But you’re an idiot.
I will pray for her. She needs our prayers. She's got MINE.
Please don't apologize to me. That wouldn't be right for you.
You still haven’t said you were WRONG to call her a MORON.
Your prayers for her after insulting her are hypocritical.
Muslim “morality” has nothing to do with free will. It’s all about shame and taboos. A man rapes a woman? She get stoned to death, he goes free. A man rapes a goat? He is blameless, but the goat has to be killed. Get buried with a pig? You don’t go to heaven. Get killed by a woman? You don’t go to heaven.
Islam is organized demonic possession.
In my book you are taking the Lord's name in vain.
Don’t worry. Frankly I very much doubt any Kurdish person, man or woman, would care about that person who professes to have at some point lived 5 years in Saudi Arabia and traveled around the Gulf region, etc... The Kurds have much more important business to take care of, and I was just told they would consider her a troll.
In case you haven’t noticed, the Kurds are in dire straits in some regions over there and need every able-bodied adult to join the fight. WTH are you expecting if women like her? Like the Israelis, when the Kurds fight an enemy, they’re fighting literally for their lives and those of their families.
