The siege of the Kurdish town of Kobani by the self-anointed soldiers of Islam has now entered its third week. That’s a week longer than a group of Americans, including the famous James Bowie, held the Alamo against Santa Anna’s army. No doubt the caliph’s men were hoping to encounter a feeble and terrorized people. Killing women is holy work for the Islamic State, but doubts must enter their deformed minds when the women fight back with such ferocity.
