A Danish woman who fought for the Kurds in Iraq and Syria against Islamic State has been taken into custody in Copenhagen, prompting accusations of hypocrisy over her treatment compared with returning Isis fighters.

Joanna Palani, 23, who fought with both the Kurdish peshmerga in Iraq and the YPG militia in Syria, faces a potential jail sentence.

The gal is the daughter of an Iranian Kurd couple who emigrated to Denmark. Contrast her treatment with that of returning ISIS fighters. According to the article, "returning fighters are assigned mentors, psychological counselling and are helped to apply for jobs or to resume education."

Just more evidence showing that western Europe has gone crazy.

I’m afraid she will be a target wherever she goes. From the article: “As a high-profile Kurdish fighter Palani has become a high-value target for Isis sympathisers, and is subject to vicious trolling as well as online and offline threats.”

But at least in America she could get a CCW permit.

Total agreement... This chick rocks and I won’t need to train her how to treat my gun right, because she already looks like she knows how to handle my gloc.

The only motivation to bring this culture into the West, is to destroy the traditional way of life AND cause the increasingly outnumbered natives to demand an authoritarian state to “restore” order.

Hence, the elites get the tyranny they’re always after.

The article says that she is a Kurdish immigrant who was born in a refugee camp. I do admire her but I do not see the wisdom of Denmark importing into itself the Muslim world’s problems. In other words, if you want to be a Kurd, go be a Kurd, but I don’t support using your new country as a back and forth staging area for a war being fought in your homeland. That said, on a human level, she’s terrific and I commend her and hope she killed many ISIS fighters.

SHe may be helod in prison for up to two years because the Prosecution needs more time to develop the case against her. She better not be in the general population or it’s curtains.
