Claims famous Kurdish Peshmerga fighter Rehana may have been decapitated

SYDNEY: -- THE scourge of ISIS — a female Kurdish warrior who was credited with killing 100 jihadists — may have herself died in the desperate battle to prevent the city of Kobani falling into extremist hands. But her sisters-in-arms fight on.

The young woman, known only by the pseudonym ‘Rehana’, became world famous after a picture of her flashing a “V” for victory sign went viral on social media.

She was part of an unusual movement in the Islamic world: A 10,000 strong, fully female and officially sanctioned militia unit dedicated to defending Kurdish territory.

Most female Peshmerga fighters are trained as snipers.

She sounds like a real hero. At least she died for a good cause.

She sounds like a real hero.

Heroine. Not the drug.

And she was one ...

Hero is correct, it is gender-neutral.

May she find eternal peace. I just hope she managed to slot some of the British ISIS tossers in her impressive number.

[ggt]

Brave young women...fighting for the preservation of their families and culture...so sad what is happening in the ME...

[sunshine51]

RIP Rehana....may your peoples struggle drive on.

[mikosan]

I'm not sure her death has been confirmed yet has it? Let's not jump to conclusions. Hopefully she's still out there annihilating more of those IS b******s.

[razer]

Time for Vlad the Impaler to come back.

Like to some ISIS thugs with a thick, pointed wood shaft up their ar**.

[boomerangutang]

Hopefully she will inspire Muslim women to not be treated like chattel (lower than dogs) by their male lords. At least dogs get to roam around the neighborhood at will.

[landslide]

Must have driven the IRIS psychos insane that a woman took out 100 of their butchers. If her death is true, she left her impact on the world. RIP. She earned it.

[arjunadawn]

This woman should be an inspiration to many women, and men! While the end may have come in a grizzly similar fashion to other local women, she had the courage and drive to confront the growing evil on her own terms. She knew as did her peers that her risk was in many ways greater than her buddies, and still she entered the fray. I hope in her passing she can be a lightening rod to her people. ...such a pretty, brave light taken from the world again...

[Krataiboy]

"Claims" she "may have" been decapitated. Sounds like the sort of yellow journalism we are becoming accustomed to.

How can you fix Mister Fixit's mistake.

Then what's his purpose now in life.

Yes she sounds a real hero, it is a shame that the turks wont help, cowards they are, what a bunch of spineless people, and supporters on the sly

Give me a break with you politically correct BS about gender neutral. The Oxford Dictionary still lists the correct definition of the noun, Heroine. Hero relates to the male, heroine the female. The definition is:

Heroine: A woman admired for her courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities: No doubt this is want this woman is or was if the storey is true. RIP.

If you know the English language then don't post incorrect definitions. No wonder people who cannot speak English find it hard to learn when someone who writes in English provides incorrect information.

Hero: The definition is:

A man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities.

No, I am not being pedantic, I just like to see things stated as they are, not as you or the politically correct brigade want.

Bad bad boy, editing the definition to prove your point...let's see what it ACTUALLY said.

A person, typically a man, who is admired for their courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities:

I emphasise the word "typically"

From http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Hero we get... A person noted for feats of courage or nobility of purpose, especially one who has risked or sacrificed his or her life: soldiers and nurses who were heroes in an unpopular war.

and

any person who has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model or ideal.

From http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hero... a person who is admired for great or brave acts or fine qualities

: a person who is greatly admired

eg...She was a hero for standing up to the government.

I could go on and on and on.. but I believe I have proven my point.

Interesting how a poor girl may have been savagely beheaded fighting for her freedom and yet all some focus on is their bruised egos relating to use of the term hero. Who the f cares about the proper use of the term hero and why does any find it worth a debate.
