26. They didn't prove their assertion in that piece.

They just said that ISIS had a few female enforcers who enforced the rules amongst women. They use women to terrorize women, in essence. They aren't afraid of their OWN women enforcers, but why should they be? Their own cadres aren't looking to kill them (yet, anyway).

There's nothing in that piece that indicates that ISIS isn't fearful of women who are actually in battle against them.

I think the Kurds are onto something, and that's based on country knowledge/experience.
