The Islamic State fighters are petrified of dying at the hands of women fighting alongside Kurdistan's Peshmerga, as many fear that getting killed by a female would mar their chance to go to heaven.

According to FOX news, the women fighters from the Kurdistan Workers' Party, also known as the PKK, told Stars and Stripes they have an intense interest in killing the bloodthirsty marauders who have beheaded Christians, raped women and sold females into slavery across a treacherous swath of Iraq and Syria.

Zekia Karhan, 26, a female guerrilla from Turkey said the Islamic State militants raped and beheaded women in the name of Islam, adding that the group had captured a lot of women and sold them for 100 dollars in Syria.

 

Karhan said that the extremists were terrified of being killed by women, as they believe that they won't be admitted to heaven if a woman kills them.

Meanwhile, PKK Commander Tekosher Zagros said that his comrades fighting the Islamic State extremists deserved credit and support from the Iraqi government, which they did not receive as the group was labeled a terrorist organization by the U.S. and

NATO, the report added.
