I reminded Nimet of the legends we hear of IS militants fearing to encounter women fighters. She replied, “This is not a myth but reality. I personally met IS fighters face-to-face. Women fighters infringe on their psyche. They believe they won’t go to paradise if they are killed by women. That is why they flee when they see women. I saw that personally at the Celaga front. We monitor their radio calls. When they hear a womans voice on the air, they become hysterical.” Kurdish women have traditionally been part of the resistance forces. At Kobani, one woman in particular, Arin Mirkan, showed just how far they are prepared to go to defeat ISIS. The woman, who is reportedly a commander in the Kurdish People’s Protection Unit, known as the YPG, broke into an ISIS, also known as IS (Islamic State) bastion on the eastern outskirts of Kobani and clashed with militants before detonating herself with a grenade, a monitoring group said on Sunday. Mirkan, a mother of two, is rumored (but not proven) to have killed 23 ISIS fighters. Another female YPG fighter, Ceylan Ozalp, killed herself with her last bullet rather than be captured by ISIS.
