23-Year-Old Student Who Killed 100 ISIS Militants Now Has A $1 Million Bounty On Her Head
1.8Mviews
Joanna Palani is a 23-year-old politics student from Denmark. She also happens to have a $1 million bounty on her head. Why? Because believe it or not, Joanna is thought to have killed over 100 ISIS militants while fighting alongside the Kurdish Peshmerga in Iraq and Syria.
Joanna, who is of Iranian-Kurdish ancestry, was born in a refugee camp in Ramadi, Iraq, following the first Gulf War. She first fired a gun at the age of nine, and she was still a teenager when, in 2014, she dropped out of college and left Copenhagen for Syria. She wrote on Facebook that she was inspired “to fight for women’s rights, for democracy – for the European values I learned as a Danish girl.” She joined the ongoing uprising against the Syrian government in the wake of the Arab Spring, first fighting against the Assad regime and then against ISIS. She fought them in Kobane, a Syrian town on the border with Turkey, while fighting with the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG), and she also helped to liberate Yazidi girls who were imprisoned as sex slaves while fighting alongside Peshmerga forces in Iraq.
Her actions came to the attention of the Danish authorities, who banned her from further travel to the region when she returned from fighting in September 2015. She was then locked up in Vestre Fængsel, Demark’s largest prison, when it was discovered that she’d flouted her ban in order to travel to Qatar. She spent 3 weeks behind bars before being released, and she’s since had her passport confiscated. She believes she’s seen as a terrorist in her own country, and she lives in hiding and changes her location constantly from fear of reprisal. “I am sorry for breaking the law but I had no choice in my mind at the time,” she said. “Those I risked my life for, are now taking away my freedom. I did not expect to lose almost everything for fighting for our freedom and our safety.”

So publish her face everywhere, so everyone can see her. If there is a bounty on my head I would not want to be recognizable to the everyone who wants $1million just for pointing me out in a crowd.
The photos are taken from her own posts all over the internet. Spare 5 mins, see for yourself. She likes publicity. A lot.
That is a strategic tactic for recruiting more people for war and fight for good guys and reasons. But it comes with a high prize, and not exactly measured monetarily.

Of course she does, she's a female.
You don't put a bounty on someone's face if you don't know what they look like.
She's my kinda lady regardless. She has more testosterone flowing through her veins than most men.
You may mean well John, but don't give us that testosterone bull. Don't make this about men. She is not "manlier" than most men. She is a woman and she is a badass.
You're my kinda man. You've got more oestrogen running through your veins than most women.
your kinda lady has to have more testosterone then men?
Tell that to the large numbers of men sent to fight these animals only to come back in caskets or messed up and given less assistance than women for kental health and employment because "oppression"
She has probably determined that the media exposure is sufficiently valuable to the cause that the personal risk is worth it.
There's gotta be a Boba Fett joke in there somewhere.. But yes I have to agree.
Was thinking that myself lol
OMG, I just loved the comments. Brilliant! My award goes to Dawn Denham. Worst comment - Delacy. You've tried too hard, dude... sorry!
That's exactly what i was thinking. The thing people risk for a good story.
She probably wrote this herself...
Kinda have a Jessica lynch feeling of embellishment on this for a narrative of empowerment.
Don't worry, Daesh don't have that kind of money anymore, they barely can feed themselves no mention paying their thugs salary, about a million dollar bounty on her head is just a propaganda Daesh put to encourage their followers to kill her, despite if they can really kill her, the killer will not receive $1 million, it will be way...way...way... much less than a million. But any Daesh thugs wouldn't dare to confront her because they are afraid to get killed by her because they will lost their 72 goat virgins prize if killed by a woman.
Ignorance,plain and simple.
What's a 72 goat virgins prize
72 goat virgins novadays translates to 72 iPhones 7?
Exactly!! We should know about her after everything is said and done.
A petition to add her to the avengers?
YEAH!!

Like it wasn't enough that you're bipolar...you're stupid too !! RESPECT FOR THIS LADY!
Whoa! I am pretty sure that Bipolar King's comment was a complement- not an insult. Do you know what the Avengers are? Plus, putting someone down for a mental illness? Harsh!
Do you even know who the Avengers are???!
I agree every cause needs a face, but c'mon... If at least 50% of this is true, kudos to her, but I agree w/ several comments here - one of the most violent political and military group has a big-a** bounty on your head and you go around posting pictures of yourself to motivate people on social media?
They ("the bad guys") probably already know what she looks like. Now the rest of the world (aka "the good guys") know it too, we could keep an eye out for her safety
Her safety is strictly her business. She made her choices, she has to live with the consequences. We're not responsible for her safety, she is. I'm all for freedom to make choices, and I feel that the Danish authorities shouldn't have intervened in the way they have, but she must live with her choices, including the bounty that's apparently now on her head. Publicity isn't going to help her much, if at all.
This is propaganda. It is impossible to verify details, and it is written one-sided. Who does remember reports of people returning from war and being tried: many did not really fully understand whom they had fought for, and for what. Since when did we start to believe that it is right to take justice into one's own hands? Since when would it be OK that citizens arm themselves, travel to crisis areas, and fight? And even if you assume this to be justified because states failed in their actions against terrorist, since when is it right to violate court orders? Do not get me wrong: probably Europe is failing. The situation in Syria is unbearable, particularly if political agendas are more important than helping suffering people. But if you learn in Europe that you should be proud if you have killed 100 people, that you should bend the law, to glorifying fighting, I am ashamed. I do not have answers here. But that a government stops civilians to engage in wars is justified.
In case anyone wants to read something more balanced than what all the tabloids write, here is a source: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/dec/19/danish-woman-who-fought-against-isis-faces-jail-sentence
Just to add a point of argument: obviously, she fought on the "right" side even from the viewpoint of her government, and trying here at least has ambivalence. However, I stick with he glorification of killing, which simply is wrong.
I don't think there is any glorification of killing. Sure, the way they put the number of people she killed might seem like this but in my (very own) opinion, I see it more like : "look what bravery can accomplish, you can face and defeat many many many ennemies". This one young woman is way more courageous than many of the Syrian citizens reunited.
Right or wrong side,killing is killing and it's simply wrong.
Do you mean to say that your opinion is that it is wrong? or that it is objectively wrong? Because right and wrong are subjective opinions. To claim that morality is objective, and that we must impose this objective reality on our fellow humans, is what has caused the majority of violence throughout human history. You're actually perpetuating the problem you're against. Reality is amoral. Talk about what's beneficial for the human species (which can be debated), not what's moral. Morality is relative to people, there is no morality "out there", other than in the skulls of our fellow apes.
I see your point. But there is great frustration with govts that do nothing! Same in in US which is why Trump was elected-to DO something.
I agree. It is, in fact, a sadness how different allies follow differing aims in Syria. In cannot really judge how much good and how much bad the Peshmerga do, but they are in a quesitonable role considering how the different parties treat them.
@Juana: thanks for educated posts in an ocean of unreflected ones.
Hans, I agree that Syria involvement is a mess. She fought with the Kurds in Kobane which to me was more clear cut and justified.
I don't agree. If civilians want to travel to war ones and fight for a cause they hold dear to their hearts, they have that right imb. Authorities shouldn't try to prevent people from making their own choices about their lives.
Ich glaub in dem (im) Krieg gibt's kein richtig und falsch. Die euroäischen und amerikanischen Ansichten scheinen mir da sehr zu differieren. Ich betrachte es als Privileg als Österreicher zur Auseinandersetzung gezwungen zu sein.
Oder um genauer zu sein: In Syrien wurde die Büchse der Pandora geöffnet. Im Krieg passieren Verbrechen. Bin ich als Pazifist nur naiv?
Well Hans? It is because of pussy-thinking like yours that this situation has gotten as bad as it has. Now look who has to wear the pants in Europe.
I do agree about her fight (ie. the reasons why she fights), I do not agree with idealizing someone who has kill 100 people, whatever the reasons. Downvote me, call an idealist or anything...there is line beyond which your actions makes you not better than what you are fighting
as far as i see it there are 100 less trash on this planet, you say she may be one herself but there is 100 less thanks to her
No, just let her or people like her kill them if you don't want to. If you are content with just ignoring these people and letting them live side by side by you and your family, it's your choice in life, hers is to cleanse them off the planet.
let's try another point of view (just for the sake of the argument, I totally agree with you they are bad -to say the less- people): I have a friend who was raped at young age by someone close. So I know the culprit who was never judge because it never went to tribunal. Should I kill him? I have seen people responsible of the murder of children get away because of a procedural mistake. Should I go kill them? I heard my neighbour hitting his wife when they argue. Should I kill him? (the examples are totally fictive...or not...). At what point do you consider bad people "trash" enough to go kill them?
Fighting in self defence is not the same as fighting to impose a dictatorship. If you cant recognise that then you have a failed morality compass.

going to an other country to kill people (however bad they are, whatever her origin is), is self defence? tell me again about morality please :]
These people do horrible things, to a healthy mind killing another person, even an enemy cannot be easy. Why do you think soldiers get PTSD? Therefore, is it a bad thing to tell these people that what they did was for a just cause and we appreciate them taking care of maybe the next Hitler? I don't agree with he glorification of the military in general, nor idolizing anyone. But I do think it's fine to give thanks and appreciate people who are doing things that are arguably for the greater good, and is incredibly dangerous to themselves.
It's certainly can't be easy...and can very well understand soldier getting PTSD. Just saying I don't agree with the fact of putting this girl on display "she has killed over 100 ISIS militants". Be well aware that it's the exact same method used on the other side "he has killed over 100 heatens" to glorify their actions. Again (because apparently I have to repeat myself over...) ISIS supports moral "values" I'm totally against.
You don't fight a terrorist group that is beheading people by holding up some signs.
This girl freed sex slave. And who captured the sex slaves? Those who were killed. I mean i wouldn't say idealize her but atleast thank her for giving a damn about her life and having a liberal point of view. While WE are debating on her causes right now!
If you think about it i see the point. The humanity reached a level to where we better kill eachother rather than trying to educate eachother. I agree that people should not be killed but in this case that was the only way.
If this is really the conclusion of the world, it's quite sad :( I'm kind of stubborn and won't believe it yet :)
so your moral compass has you sitting at home behind a keyboard criticising people who die and risk their life to protect your freedom and way of life. You are not idealist, you are not a liberal, you are a coward and a moron
You're sitting behind a keyboard yourself arguing with a "moron" don't you have something better to do fuckhead
Please, feel free to go killing people you don't know :) (ps: Never pretend to be a "liberal"...don't know what this has to do with the question anyway)
liberal mambo jumbo... in the real world you either kill your enemy or get killed. want to see you guys travel there with hippie peace and love shit you would get shot instantly... these people don't take prisoners or if they do only for public televised executions.
that is not liberal mumbo jumbo, liberals are not morons. they realise that there are times when the only and best course of action is to kill the enemy.
cause the world is black and white, everyone should know that! thank you for your enlightenment! :)
I think it's GOOD if someone is killing bad people who will harm innocents. And if you go all "Oh who decides what's good" - It's ME! I do! It's my sense of morality. I'm not saying "This is how we will run a government" or anything, just that I personally feel that killing can be justified if you're killing the right people.
Thank you arty, for a balanced post.
Sarcasm?
No, just let her or people like her kill them if you don't want to. If you are content with just ignoring these people and letting them live side by side by you and your family, it's your choice in life, hers is to cleanse them off the planet.

Stupid liberal who loves the Islamic terrorist pigs
I don't believe this bullshit. Those pictures are too staged.
I was thinking just the same... pictures looked too staged to be true (too "instagrammy")... I don't know, but I have my doubts on this.
there's one pic of her going down stairs in her uniform on the phone... she's prolly just obsessed with taking pics of herself ;)
Okay people, I did a quick Google check... "1 million dollar bounty on Danish girl". TheSun.co.uk was one that published the story and a bunch of "indianews", Iraqinews", "muslimpress" articles. Didn't see anything from CNN or Aljezzera on the first page. If she is truly a fighter, GO GET THEM, GIRL!! If not, bravo for wasting my time on you.
This is BS
incredible story... but I can't help but wonder if it would get this much attention if the cover pic didn't have so much cleavage...
I didn't notice the cleavage until your comment, and come on, there's barely any cleavage to see!
She seems like a movie character.
That last picture of her sleeping soundly under a soft blankie, pulled at my heart. Give this girl her voice back!
“I am sorry for breaking the law but I had no choice in my mind at the time,” If everyone would argue like this, our societies would crumble.
So... everybody in Germany and other Nazi-controlled countries should have followed Hitler's law?
never said anything about law (maybe you wanted to answer Hans), I was just kidding about the reference to the Nazis.
Arty, I can easily suggest the Mussolini's Italy, the Soviet Union, North Korea, countries in the Middle-East that say it's ok to throw rocks at people until they die and so on, and so on. Moral principles and the law aren't synonyms.
There is no doubt the Third Reich was a regime of injustice. I would not apply this definition to contemporary Danmark.
Aaaand the Godwin point go tooo....Roookas. Congrats! ;)
When gov't fail to act there will be more and more vigilantes.
Isn't it sad, that this girls achievements are defined as " many she killed", instead of "how many she saved"...? Killing people, however nesssary in same situations, is nothing to be proud about. Saving people lifes- this gives honor and is an act of humanity. Here we have: "killed 100" in the title :/
Totally! If there is an article it's definitively how it should be written! Thank you :)
who ever idiot wrote that article don't know how the real soldiers work .... this is not call of duty high score ...
she's brave, but also quite careless for posting her photos everywhere.
She is brave and has more balls than Al-Baghdadi and the coward ISIS who are too afraid to post their faces online for fear of being shot by US drones. DAESH are just bunch of faggot fighters who are afraid to fight in the front line and man-to-woman or man. They hide on their wives and children and in the back of their hostages. They are not real fighters since they have no balls to fight--they are not brave. They are pigs.
Quite bizarre to boast that you have KILLED 100 HUMAN BEEINGS. This is not how war and conflict should be reported.
I don't think anyone needs to worry about a bounty on her head. The only one who needs to worry is the idiot that tries to collect.
So... she defends the good people by fighting the good fight and went to the war zone by herself and you treat her bad ? Do you guys treat your soldiers , who defend your country, so bad ? Maybe she should be given 1 million $ ;) think about that
This is so theatrical its ridiculous, what a bad joke. Bored Panda is lame for trying to creat a war idel like this, shameful...
Don't offer to give anyone shooting lessons ...
There is something extremely implausible about this post. It wreaks of being totally inappropriate and substantially inaccurate. I think this post may be best described as, 'this information may bear some resemblance a character that exists in real life'.
Sad she did the right thing
Vanessa Robinson easy
Ahahaaa what an idiot ! Now she got her publicity !! Zero fuck is givennnn !
So far into hiding your publishing your face everywhere? Okay!
Lock her up.
She fights for a postmodern cause. Just pornography for Democracy and a post-Christian Europe.
Decisions come along with consequences. If she has decided to be a terrorist fighting other terrorists, this is the result. And, obviously she likes publicity. She has posted ziliions of photos here and there. The photos in this post are also taken from her own posts.
She's 23 and was born during the first gulf war? If this article was written in 2017 the math doesn't add up. She would have been born in 1994. Gulf War ended in 1991
It says "following the first Gulf War"... learn to proof read before you comment on a matter.. Fail
The Gulf War never ended. Through the no fly zones in Northern and Southern Iraq have been bombed daily since 1990. In the US we are told the war ended then. Most of the rest of the world believes otherwise.
Poor girl, she did what she believed was best
maybe she is advertising this face because she has drastically changed it now?
So how does saying that you have bounty on your head help? ISIS would go after her regardless.
Really interesting , thanks for the article
it's (anti)terrorist barbie! the ones she whacked won't be getting their virgins I think *evil snicker*
Brand spanking new fatigue's in every pic ,plus apple i-phone if they wanted her they can get her any time though that i-phone plus facebook would also know where she is since they are into 24/7 watching and listening to there customers private lives?
new fatigues in every pic?plus i-phone.facebook spies on its customers 24/7 they can find her if they wanted.
over 100 people she killed, shes just a cold blooded killer now.
Does she need a husband? Let me know..
She's our Wonder Woman!!!
A intelligence agency needs to hire this badass chick
Why does every picture look like she is dressed for a photo shoot..Every uniform looks brand new pressed and starched..Just an observation
As a USMC vet, 100 kill count is kinda ridiculous, especially for snipers.. are these confirmed or? sounds a bit far-fetched
She's not afraid of Isis assholes probably just the political bs cause they got bested by a woman ~and those fools are really being supported by government leftists like Ol Mcain
Your courage and heroic acts should be recognized by all. Right now your actions have saved lives and prevented torture of many who will never be able to thank you. I thank you for your voluntary service and what you did with it to save and help others. God has always been with you as you attempted to save His/Her precious children from harm. Lay low, write a book about your experiences and let the world know what a young woman with heart can do in battle. There is nothing worse than being labled the one thing you gave everything of yourself to destroy. Take heart the truth is with you and the reward for your actions is in the lives that you know have been spared.
Way to go boredpanda. If this story is even true. You just help Isis murder this young lady. Smh
these women have bigger balls than cheetolini or his saudi sand nigger supporters
Let her carry on killing the idiots who go about with their prayer books in one hand and an AK47 or a rocket launcher in their other hand ,it should be the other way about she should be getting paid that amount for every one she has killed .
sounds like a freedom fighter to me. She isn't waiting for anyone to hand her freedom. She is picking one up and fighting for it. Good for her.
If I find her I'll kill her
Wow this is what happens when you're too good at your duty ?? She must've killed someone's connect... most of the time the bad guys pretend to be good ones 🤔😉😉
She should be heralded as a hero not vilified for doing what in her heart she believes to be the right thing. Good for her
Well shit.
When anyone decides it can determine right from wrong apart from the Lord God, that person is going to become a monster. And so it is with ISIS, and numerous other terrorist groups. They imagine they worship a god who tells them to kill everyone who is not like them. They are Cosmically wrong. Hardly religious, they are common, ordinary murderers. Tragic, but once evil believes it has divine blessing, it has to be destroyed.
If you have a bounty on your head don't show yourself ... be careful!!! A lot of rats in this world and money talks... take care..!!!
I bet Trump would let her in. I know as an American I'd be proud to have her in my neighborhood
Fighting against SAA??? Terrorist bitch.
You go girl!!!!! Denmark doesn't realize how amazing you are!!! You saved lives!!! I applaud you!!!! You are a HERO!!!!!
"killing monsters hunting things the family business" - Dean winchester hahahahha
Tell her if she ever needs a place to stay and she's in the states she can come to my home.
She's a hero!
first of all she shouldn't have shown her face second of all come stay with me I'll take care of you and I have a Mexican Mafia and Hispanic Mafia to back us up
humans, they cared about themself.. those around them.. are there willing challager. [What i meant] Y'ALL MOTHER FUCKERS ARE CRAZY THAT BITCH SAVE YO ASS AND U TRYNA KILL HER.. BITCHES LIKE Y'ALL BE HIGH ON DRUGS.
So let me get this right, she kill 100 or so ISIS Militants in time of war for her county.... then said county put a bounty on her head.... Why?
There's a lot of brave women rebel and freedom fighters across the Middle East, she is only one of them.....
Can this have conseguences for Denmark?
Real heroes don't blow their own trumpets.
You fucking cunts.. if her face is everywhere what do you think is gonna happen? You fucking idiots!!
Personally, I would cover my face and all body marks at ALL times. I respect her for her actions and courage, and I applaud her for that, but her safety is a major concern.
No good deed goes unpunished. If she were a man, I suspect the authorities would have been less zealous
More bullshit aye
This is an immigrant I would welcome.
She should come to America. I'm sure she could land a job working with our President Trump. Sending much respect and love her way
Most gorgeous infantry soldier I've ever seen. Bring her to America. I bet she speaks a bunch of relatively rare languages too.
Most gorgeous infantry soldier I've ever seen. Bring her to America. I bet she speaks a lot of relatively rare languages too!
it's very hard to find :))))))))))) Captur-58a...fb-png.jpg
Thing you don't know is, her fought for another terrorist group named YPG. YPG is act as another name "PKK" in Turkey, Northern Syria and Iraq. They killed ten thousands innocent people and Turkish soldiers via bombing attacks, massacre, ambush etc. So, killing ISIS is a good thing but she still fights for a terrorist organization.
Something seems iffy about this story. In all but one photo she has makeup on?
I'm truthfully more confused about how she made it from an international airport in Iraq to the borders of Syria... Considering the closest international airport is a days walk away...
You can not promote act of killing that easy. Does not matter how it ends you empower people to go war with such posts. When Boredpanda started to promote military groups?
So she's sorry for breaking the law but didn't expect the country to label her as a threat after she broke a ban, illegally crossed a border, all in order to kill more criminals?
Courage doesn't need "balls"
She should be given asylum in the United States.
Yeah right
I'm confused
she is a beauty with brain kind of girl. well done grl
Ok I'm going to go on a rant here. This is absolute bullshit she killed 100 ISIS soldiers. Freed who know how many sex slaves and your going to put a bounty on her head. Fuck society. You guys don't have to live knowing you killed 100 plus people. And if every ISIS solider kills 10 people which they kill way more that's 1000 people she's saved. Screw humanity.
I'd love to kill her .. with special effects, then collect the bounty (for her and her cause), then make fun of ISIS for paying the million dollars.
Probably mostly boloney
key words "She is thought of to have killed "
Miss Palani, you've done more than your share. Enjoy the freedoms Denmark has to offer, enjoy your life.
It's funny how so many Americans idolize army and "war heroes" or just enjoy news about. Killed 100 Isis! What a glorious person.
She fought against President Asad??? So, shes dumb. It was a attempt for a coup, this "Arabic spring".
That's Shield maiden to bring home to the mother!
That's a shield maiden to bring home to the mother!
Sexy AF! You go Joanna. Support💯
100 ISIS 'fighters' eh? that is 7200 'virgins' that 'allah' didn't have to provide. ~giggle~ this Lady is awesome. the Socialist Workers Paradise of Denmark has lost ALL credibility as a People.
Reads like obvious propaganda..,
Reads like obvious propaganda...
Make her an offer to work for our Pentagon.
Joanna Give Me Hope
This is a psyop - somebody who killed that many people would not advertise themselves. She reminds me of militant women in the 1960's who acted like they were badasses, because it was hip at the time. 100 kills - eh? I doubt that she ever killed anyone, much less 100 victims. If she did kill 100, then shame on her for being proud of it...!
I WONDER WHY SHE HAVE SO MANY PHOTO? IT LOOK LIKE A STORY TO GET PUBLICITY, REAL FIGHTERS IN THAT AREA DO NOT DO THAT.
doppelganger will be sad when they are pointed.
Brave and beautiful. Fuck isis. My prayers are with you.
Awesome work lady. I wish I could fight beside you.
Obviously so many non-Syrian people are fighting for "freedom" of Syria, first against Asad - now against everyone. Result seems is a war set by foreign forces..
doesn't like the fack of a Kurdish terrorist to be portrayed as a heroine
If I was her, I would do the same, what kind of government would treat her like the enemy when she only kills the evil scumbags Isis!!! If I was there I would do the same, if it wasn't for my family and other things I must support, I would protect my values to the death. I am not ashamed, and she shouldn't be either.
Cool propaganda shots. I doubt if she's actually seen any real combat though. Every cause needs a face I guess...
soon he's also dead
Big fat fake. That women wears a uniform with hungarian flag on the arm and "hungarian army" title on the chest
It's the Kurdish flag and there is "Kurdistan Army" written on her chest.
God bless you and keep you safe from evils. I will pray for your safety and pray that no one could put a finger on you.
Just saying, but without the pictures nobody would believe her. This is the only way for her to get the word out.
However, it's not up to citizens, like her, to take the law in her own hands. She knew the law, knew the consequences when she left again.
TAKE THIS DOWN! Or at least take down pictures of her....
We need more people like her
Really great, great woman! Big respects!
did she have a plastic surgery?

You did, you had a boobs change
if it makes you feel better, let it be...
A really strong woman!
gud news
That's incredible! But also sad to the fact that's she gets prisoned by the peoply who she fought for.
She got imprisoned for breaking court orders after breaking the law and obviously being middly treated. Saying that you are a hero and that you have done rightly neither makes you are hero nor does it make your action justified. Do not fall for one-sided reports without any chance of scrutinizing them.
For those who can read German or will use Google translate, here is an interesting article: http://www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/rueckkehrer-gute-kaempfer-boese-kaempfer-1.3309632-2 The problem indeed is that while she obviously fought for the right cause, she did so under penalised conditions. As I have written earlier, this subject is highly complex and does not make for a short "heoric" story. In fact, it underlines tha many facets or moral, ethical, legal, and political challenges involved in the situation i the middle-east.
Against ISIS sure. But how is the terror they act in Turkey for over 30 something years justified? They don't have sovereign soil? So does many other minorities. As Hans says, this is a more complex issue.
Dude, the Kurds need all the help they can get! Yet another minority copping a raw deal in this world! They don't even have any sovereign soil of their own, that's what their fighting for!
A real woman fighting for real issues. She is battling actual oppression but some made up nonsense we hear about here in the west from our whiny western women.
My hero!!!
This woman rocks
Very brave woman!
Killing people is wrong. I am against any kind of violence.
Publish her face and story everywhere! Great idea
Someone who kills a hundred people is called a murderer. Not a student.
Killed a bunch of people who were TERRORISTS. Is killing really ALWAYS bad to everyone else? How else are you supposed to get rid of people in ISIS?
The monopoly on violence rests with the government for a reason.
The real wonder woman!
May be the stupid cause, but at least she's fighting for real and not over Facebook.
And most women you see in social media these days feeling proud of their daily selfies.... #facepalm #respect #badass
So does most men. No need to show your inner sexism.
There is no reason to criticize boredpanda for publishing her pics since her pics have been featured on many sites and news articles.
Kurdish Propaganda nothing more
So we're sharing her face and location because...?
So we're sharing her location and face because...?
Real Hero. She should be free!
I sure hope they're using photos of someone else. And that she's chilin' somewhere like Greenland or Tibet.
So ISIS kills the girl in the photo, even though she had nothing to do with it. Yeah right.
Dumb move Bored Panda - you beclown yourself
This is an incredible story!! Kudos to you, joanna!!
Let me see if i get it.Men ego is so fragile that they want arrest a girl just because she beat the shit out of other mens?
Click bait? Don't need to be slammed, just putting it out there!
Yeah！Also ISIS see this article now！Good job！editor！
If ISIS put a reward on her death I think they may already have her picture you know
Nothing to get excited over. It's a typo. It's 1 million doll hairs
she should shoot Trump she would get a medal
send nudes!
This is a propaganda. They are all terrorist. Now they use big boobs to take public attention to their terorism propaganda. This post is one sided and illegal. No isis nor the pyd are good people! They are not heros they are just terrorists! Bored panda shouldnt be posting such craps
So, she's 23 years old, but she was in teenager in 2014 when she dropped out of college? I realize that Donald Trump gutted our education system, but I didn't realize it would have such an immediate effect.
Sorry, but is that great news? To feature someone who killed a hundred human beeings?
anyone can publish here... it's not news
Bravo!
ISIS fighters are bunch of coward faggots who fight only the weak. They are afraid to fight a woman. A dollar for each dead ISIS pig.
Ha ha coward Al-Baghdadi humiliated by a woman fighter. What an idiot ISIS?

So that woman with her white supremacist Euro values is touted as a heroine for murdering one-hundred "ISIS members;" black people! Huh? Well...Her head too will explode from several hundred yards away soon! ISIS when white people mean it, is a code word for all black people! And I say this! All of you white supremacists will pay the ultimate price for you all's historical global treachery against black Africans! It's not death that will be that ultimate price(that would be mercy)! The CREATOR is about to appear to show you all what power, might, and authority really looks like! And no amount of science fictions movies where you all triumph over the "alien invasion" will be effective in psyching you all up to victory! Because there will be no victory for you all! Everything you all have built up will be erased from time! You, you children who throw match sticks at an adamantium wall! You all's total ineffect-ability to stop our CREATOR''S reign will become the sum of all humiliations!

What a woman. She deserves medals and high praise

Such a tragic story. She was just a teenage girl. She should never have been made to make choices like "do I finish school or go back to my home country to fight for freedom?". But unfortunately western countries are only an island of safety in an ocean of fear and terror. Or maybe an island of relative safety :/

Does she have a boyfriend? :)

After all this pro-muslim bullshit posted on boredpanda, killing muslims is okay now?
So publish her face everywhere, so everyone can see her. If there is a bounty on my head I would not want to be recognizable to the everyone who wants $1million just for pointing me out in a crowd.
The photos are taken from her own posts all over the internet. Spare 5 mins, see for yourself. She likes publicity. A lot.
That is a strategic tactic for recruiting more people for war and fight for good guys and reasons. But it comes with a high prize, and not exactly measured monetarily.

Of course she does, she's a female.
You don't put a bounty on someone's face if you don't know what they look like.
She's my kinda lady regardless. She has more testosterone flowing through her veins than most men.
You may mean well John, but don't give us that testosterone bull. Don't make this about men. She is not "manlier" than most men. She is a woman and she is a badass.
You're my kinda man. You've got more oestrogen running through your veins than most women.
your kinda lady has to have more testosterone then men?
Tell that to the large numbers of men sent to fight these animals only to come back in caskets or messed up and given less assistance than women for kental health and employment because "oppression"
She has probably determined that the media exposure is sufficiently valuable to the cause that the personal risk is worth it.
There's gotta be a Boba Fett joke in there somewhere.. But yes I have to agree.
Was thinking that myself lol
OMG, I just loved the comments. Brilliant! My award goes to Dawn Denham. Worst comment - Delacy. You've tried too hard, dude... sorry!
That's exactly what i was thinking. The thing people risk for a good story.
She probably wrote this herself...
Kinda have a Jessica lynch feeling of embellishment on this for a narrative of empowerment.
Don't worry, Daesh don't have that kind of money anymore, they barely can feed themselves no mention paying their thugs salary, about a million dollar bounty on her head is just a propaganda Daesh put to encourage their followers to kill her, despite if they can really kill her, the killer will not receive $1 million, it will be way...way...way... much less than a million. But any Daesh thugs wouldn't dare to confront her because they are afraid to get killed by her because they will lost their 72 goat virgins prize if killed by a woman.
Ignorance,plain and simple.
What's a 72 goat virgins prize
72 goat virgins novadays translates to 72 iPhones 7?
Exactly!! We should know about her after everything is said and done.
A petition to add her to the avengers?
YEAH!!

Like it wasn't enough that you're bipolar...you're stupid too !! RESPECT FOR THIS LADY!
Whoa! I am pretty sure that Bipolar King's comment was a complement- not an insult. Do you know what the Avengers are? Plus, putting someone down for a mental illness? Harsh!
Do you even know who the Avengers are???!
I agree every cause needs a face, but c'mon... If at least 50% of this is true, kudos to her, but I agree w/ several comments here - one of the most violent political and military group has a big-a** bounty on your head and you go around posting pictures of yourself to motivate people on social media?
They ("the bad guys") probably already know what she looks like. Now the rest of the world (aka "the good guys") know it too, we could keep an eye out for her safety
Her safety is strictly her business. She made her choices, she has to live with the consequences. We're not responsible for her safety, she is. I'm all for freedom to make choices, and I feel that the Danish authorities shouldn't have intervened in the way they have, but she must live with her choices, including the bounty that's apparently now on her head. Publicity isn't going to help her much, if at all.
This is propaganda. It is impossible to verify details, and it is written one-sided. Who does remember reports of people returning from war and being tried: many did not really fully understand whom they had fought for, and for what. Since when did we start to believe that it is right to take justice into one's own hands? Since when would it be OK that citizens arm themselves, travel to crisis areas, and fight? And even if you assume this to be justified because states failed in their actions against terrorist, since when is it right to violate court orders? Do not get me wrong: probably Europe is failing. The situation in Syria is unbearable, particularly if political agendas are more important than helping suffering people. But if you learn in Europe that you should be proud if you have killed 100 people, that you should bend the law, to glorifying fighting, I am ashamed. I do not have answers here. But that a government stops civilians to engage in wars is justified.
In case anyone wants to read something more balanced than what all the tabloids write, here is a source: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/dec/19/danish-woman-who-fought-against-isis-faces-jail-sentence
Just to add a point of argument: obviously, she fought on the "right" side even from the viewpoint of her government, and trying here at least has ambivalence. However, I stick with he glorification of killing, which simply is wrong.
I don't think there is any glorification of killing. Sure, the way they put the number of people she killed might seem like this but in my (very own) opinion, I see it more like : "look what bravery can accomplish, you can face and defeat many many many ennemies". This one young woman is way more courageous than many of the Syrian citizens reunited.
Right or wrong side,killing is killing and it's simply wrong.
Do you mean to say that your opinion is that it is wrong? or that it is objectively wrong? Because right and wrong are subjective opinions. To claim that morality is objective, and that we must impose this objective reality on our fellow humans, is what has caused the majority of violence throughout human history. You're actually perpetuating the problem you're against. Reality is amoral. Talk about what's beneficial for the human species (which can be debated), not what's moral. Morality is relative to people, there is no morality "out there", other than in the skulls of our fellow apes.
I see your point. But there is great frustration with govts that do nothing! Same in in US which is why Trump was elected-to DO something.
I agree. It is, in fact, a sadness how different allies follow differing aims in Syria. In cannot really judge how much good and how much bad the Peshmerga do, but they are in a quesitonable role considering how the different parties treat them.
@Juana: thanks for educated posts in an ocean of unreflected ones.
Hans, I agree that Syria involvement is a mess. She fought with the Kurds in Kobane which to me was more clear cut and justified.
I don't agree. If civilians want to travel to war ones and fight for a cause they hold dear to their hearts, they have that right imb. Authorities shouldn't try to prevent people from making their own choices about their lives.
Ich glaub in dem (im) Krieg gibt's kein richtig und falsch. Die euroäischen und amerikanischen Ansichten scheinen mir da sehr zu differieren. Ich betrachte es als Privileg als Österreicher zur Auseinandersetzung gezwungen zu sein.
Oder um genauer zu sein: In Syrien wurde die Büchse der Pandora geöffnet. Im Krieg passieren Verbrechen. Bin ich als Pazifist nur naiv?
