A female Kurdish fighter named Ceylan Ozalp was surrounded by ISIS fighters, when she took out her pistol and blew her brains, choosing death over being taken captive by ISIS.
A Syrian Kurdish female combatant, who appeared on a BBC report in September, shot herself with a last bullet during fighting with militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) last week, according to media reports.
Ceylan Ozalp, 19, was reportedly surrounded by ISIS fighters near the Syrian Kurdish city of Kobane also known as Ain al-Arab. After she run out of ammunition Ozalp said “goodbye” over the radio and spent her last bullet on killing herself.
The reports of her suicide, which follows the beheading of seven men and three women by ISIS in Kobane earlier this week, took social media by storm and appeared in several Turkish news websites such as the daily Radikal.
But other reports suggested Ozalp, also known as Diren –which means “resist” in Turkish, never left the northern Syrian town of Jezaa, which is still under the Kurdish control, according to International Business Times.
Al Arabiya News Channel could not independently verify the authenticity of the report on her suicide.
During her interview with the BBC last month, Ozalp said: “We’re not scared of anything…We’ll fight to the last. We’d rather blow ourselves up than be captured by IS (ISIS).”
“When they see a woman with a gun, they’re so afraid they begin to shake. They portray themselves as tough guys to the world. But when they see us with our guns they run away. They see a woman as just a small thing. But one of our women is worth a hundred of their men,” Ozalp told the BBC.
Like Ozalp, many Syrian Kurdish women have joined the Syrian Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG), an offshoot of the guerrilla group, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK). Pictures of these Syrian Kurdish female combatants carrying their Kalashnikovs, or those of their Kurdish Iraqi counterparts – the Peshmergettes – stand out as a striking anomaly in the region’s often male-dominated conflicts.

Wow she bust have blue blood.
That would have been too close for comfort.
Authorities recently uncovered an ISIS-inspired plot to carry out a "knife and gun" attack at a "public place" in Canada,NBC News reports.
Anonymous intelligence officials told the American news network "that some of the discussions raise the possibility of attacks on U.S. citizens and other U.S. and Western targets in Canada."
The sources stressed that the possible attacks were at the "aspirational" stage, NBC reported.
It's not clear which "public place" was targeted.
Authorities in Canada and the U.S. fear an ISIS-like attack, where either someone is publicly beheaded or citizens are slashed at until cops arrive to shoot and "martyr" the terrorists, NBC reported.
"While I cannot comment on operational matters of national security, I can say that security agencies are constantly evaluating the terrorist threat and taking action to protect Canadians," said Jason
Tamming, spokesman for Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Steven Blaney.

Well, it wasn't that long ago that that Sikh temple in Wisconsin (or some place like that) was attacked, because the idiot gunman couldn't tell the difference between a muslim and a sikh. Some red-neck white supremacist there.
PS-Yup, it was Wisconsin, and it was only in 2012 that it happened. How soon we forget?
Sikhs repair, reclaim temple after rampage - CNN.com
PPS-On second thought, perhaps we forget about the above story because we may have put it into another category of uniquely American hate crime, which is the shooting rampage. Those things happen so often in the US that we don't even pay attention to them anymore. Also they're unique among hate crimes as each one uniquely targets different groups, so to some extent they've become a non-racial hate crime by targeting all races equally. Each individual one is racial, but once they get lumped in into the shooting rampage category, the racial component gets forgotten.

Well, you were the one saying that we (western civilization) don't do these sort of things, but obviously we do. And let's face it, what's happening on a daily basis is not happening here, it's happening in the middle east. We sometimes get attacked once every few years, but that's not daily. I suspect that there are far more deaths from shooting rampages in the US than from middle-eastern terrorists. But the majority of the damage inflicted is being done to other middle-easterners, and other muslims.Prim0 said:
I'd put the US military (and allies) as one of the "groups". And they are trying to take out other groups. Just because they have official state sanctioning doesn't make it any more legitimate.

The reason probably is because the US is still basically a secular society, with a strong theocratic minority. Some muslim countries are theocracies, with varying levels of minority secularism. The only reason the US doesn't go the same route as these countries is because theocrats haven't taken over yet in the US. The theocrats are trying to take over the US (and to a lesser extent Canada, if we keep Harper around much longer), and if they ever take over, expect the same kind of violence from them.Prim0 said:
You can see the effects of this already, as the theocrats get more and more powerful in the US -- the language and opinions being expressed by politicians now were unthinkable even just 30 years ago. Having a strong secular society is what keeps the society from going nuts.
Isn't it ironic that over 200 years earlier, you probably heard the British probably complained about the same thing: "At least our soldiers have the decency to wear the red coats. These guys on the other hand look like farmers and blacksmiths." But that was during the American Revolution.

OMG!! :don'twantto-see:/
Syrian activists say that one of the U.S. airdrops with weapons and ammunition meant for Kurdish fighters near the town of Kobani has instead landed in the hands of Islamic State militants.
The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, with sources inside Syria, said Tuesday that the sizable parachuted cache was grabbed by the insurgents after the U.S. Air Force dropped the supplies Sunday night. The rights group said the jihadists also may have secured a second consignment intended for the Kurdish militiamen, who are fighting for control of the town just south of the Turkish border.
The United States has acknowledged that one of its airdrops landed in the wrong spot and destroyed it when the error was discovered, but says that the "vast majority" of the 27 airdrops ended up in the hands of the Kurdish fighters.
A video uploaded by a media group loyal to the Islamic State shows a masked fighter inspecting the cache of hand grenades, ammunition and rocket-propelled grenade launchers. The fighter voiced his delight at capturing the arms cache.
"Thanks be to God, spoils and booty for the mujahedeen," he said.
Analysts tell the Associated Press the poorly aimed weapons drop may be a mistake of little strategic consequence. The Islamic State already possesses a huge trove of American weapons seized from Iraqi soldiers as they fled in the face of the militants' takeover of vast reaches of
Iraq.
With the fight for Kobani unresolved, Britain says it will soon conduct military surveillance flights over Syria to collect intelligence on Islamic State militants.
Watch the video.
