In a conservative society where women are often expected to stay at home, these women say gender does not keep them from entering battle.
"If a man can carry a weapon, a woman can do the same," said Nauzad. "The men are inspired to fight harder when they see women standing in the same battlefield as them."
The women in the unit are convinced Islamic State militants are scared of women fighters "because they think if they are killed by a woman, they will not go to heaven," said Nauzad.
"This story encourages more women to join the fight."''
I shudder to think what Republicans think of women like this. I say God bless them.
