The greatest threat to Islamic extremists may surprise you

'...if they are killed by a girl, a Kurdish girl, they won't go to heaven.'

Jihadists believe if they are killed by women, they are unable to make it to Paradise, where their virgins await.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Twenty-one-year-old militia commander, who goes by the name Tehelden, meaning "revenge" in Kurdish, said ISIS fighters fear facing women on the battlefield.

"They think they're fighting in the name of Islam," she said. "They believe if someone from Daesh [ISIS] is killed by a girl, a Kurdish girl, they won't go to heaven. They're afraid of girls."

Tehelden leads the all-female militia called the Women's Protection Unit (YPJ), which is a branch of the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) who fights ISIS in Kurdish areas of Syria and Iraq.

The group does not fear ISIS, and 20-year-old Efelin laughed when CNN's Benjamin Wedeman asked if Jihadists ever attempted to reclaim Al-Houl.

"If they do, we won't leave one of them alive," one girl responded.

The YPJ is stationed in Al-Houl, which is in northeast Syria, and the group comprises 20 percent of the YPG. Most of the women are Kurdish and are in their early twenties.

While the YPJ continues to grow in woman-power, ISIS released images of their hi-tech arsenal looted from the Iraqi army. The images include handheld rocket launchers, automatic weapons and front line tanks.
