UAE's 1st female fighter pilot led strike against ISIS - CNN.com

(CNN) -- Maj. Mariam Al Mansouri may be ISIS' worst nightmare.The first female fighter pilot in the United Arab Emirates, she led a strike mission this week against the terror group, that country's ambassador to the United States said Thursday.
"She is (a) fully qualified, highly trained, combat ready pilot, and she led the mission," Yousef Al Otaiba told MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
The UAE has joined the United States and a handful of other Arab nations in conducting airstrikes against ISIS in Syria.

Hot diggity.

What's next, women driving cars? Leaving home without the burka and a male relative? Sounds like a slippery slope to me!

I think it is amusing because don't the ISIS extremists believe if they get killed by women they won't go to heaven?

Fine use of psychological warfare, if it's true. :lol:

I'm actually inclined to wonder whether the rampant extremism of ISIS might actually cause reactionary backlash in the rest of the Middle East, leading many more Conservative nations to ease off of the strictness of their own customs.

I don't know if they believe that or not, but I hope they do. Let's be sure to tell them that they're being killed by women.
 
And, one of the Fox News morons called this "boobs on the ground" amazing.

No, couldn't be, surely not even the talking heads at Fo.... What? Holy (bleep!) You're right!

Fox host Eric Bolling apologized Thursday for a quip he made yesterday about the first female pilot for the United Arab Emirates representing “boobs on the ground.”

For those not in the cable news know, when the roundtable talk show discussed that pilot’s involvement in UAE strikes against ISIS forces in Syria this week, Bolling asked: “Would that be considered boobs on the ground?”

Oh, well. He apologized. That makes it OK, right?

I'm not sure if this is true or not but I remember hearing quite awhile ago that the Israelis had stopped using women in some combat situations because Arab men wouldn't surrender ito women.

They talked about that when it came out the Kurdish militas were training & integrating women into their units to fight ISIS.
If being killed by a woman keeps these freaks out of heaven, then this makes it awesome.

1) did you believe these guys were otherwise going to heaven?
2) do you believe being killed by women affects where anybody ends up when they die?
 
OMG, that is incredibly awesome! You go, girl!

You apparently arent very familiar with women in non-fundamentalist Muslim countries like UAE, Kuwait, Oman, Turkey, etc...

Yea in the same show where they chastised Obama for his coffee cup salute we get "boobs on the ground" for those fighting ISIS. Gotta luv it.
 
It'd be funny as hell if she rebuked sexism with a sexist tag painted down the nose of her jet like... "Bitches be Crazy" or "Bitch pleeeze!"

The US stopped using female interrogators, because it offended Muslims.

My wife won't let me get very familiar with any women other than her.
 
She apparently led the mission as well.

Beautiful.
