Christian Women Fighting in Iraq

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/01/18/christian-mothers-wives-take-up-fight-against-isis-whose-women-serve-as-suicide-bombers-and-slaves.html?intcmp=hpbt3

Interesting compare and contrast the roles of women in this war.  The Syriac women take up arms to defend the ground they grew up on.  Fighting as professional soldiers to protect their children and their homeland vs. ISIS..recruiting women with cash and promises of reward in Paradise if they commit atrocity. 

The west has an obligation to support these efforts.  It is telling that Iraqi women stay and fight while Syrian men flee to the west.
