| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Miaad Madaad is the only female member of the "Lions of the Tigris," a group of Sunni Arab fighters which is part of the Popular Mobilization Committee (PMU) battling ISIS in Shayyalah al-Imam, Iraq. Shayyalah al-Imam is a village near the ISIS-held city of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... ISIS Lions of Islam beheaded Madaad’s father-in-law and brother-in-law. "The last time [ISIS] they came to my house and threatened me I threw rocks at them and called them dogs," she told Rooters as she clutched an AK-47 assault rifle and vowed to defeat ISIS. When she and her husband fled to the relatively stable Kurdish region earlier this year, he was enjugged Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! by Kurdish fighters who suspected him of being an ISIS fighter. |
