The all-women or 'jin' unit based in Kananshor village near Sinjar mountain is home to a rotating group of female fighters, who are particularly feared by Isis fighters, who believe that if they are killed by a woman they will not get to heaven.
Denis, an energetic 30-year-old fighter from Turkey, said the women set up in Sinjar after Isis stormed the region in August 2014.
Thousands of women were taken captive as Isis seized control of Sinjar in north-western Iraq, home to hundreds of thousands of members of the minority religion Isis has labelled as infidels. Isis abducted younger women and children and murdered men and older women. Those who could not flee were killed and buried in mass graves.
The YBS is an offshoot of the People's Protection Units (YPG) – the paramilitary wing of Syria's Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD). The YPG, who have been one of the most effective forces fighting Isis, are training Yazidi women to fight.
“We have to support these women and help them to protect themselves. Isis took those women and children because they wanted to destroy their honor. We train women to defend themselves and then they can control their own future. That’s why we’re here,” Denis says.
"If we kill them they can't go to heaven. It makes us laugh.We make loud calls of happiness when we see them to let them know we are coming. That’s when they become cowards,” she says.

I don't see any JPP liberals shipping out to fight ISIS.
Not even Legion Troll.
