Fighting erupted in the ISIS-stronghold of Fallujah on Friday after the extremist militants attacked a local woman for not covering her hands, according to Iraqi officials.
"The clashes started when tens of Fallujah men stood against ISIS militants who started to beat a woman in a Fallujah market because she was not wearing gloves," said Sabah Karhoot, the chairman of the governing council of Anbar province where the city is located. "Therefore, the men could not stand and do nothing."
ISIS, which has conquered much of Anbar, imposes an extremely strict dress code on populations it controls, with women having to cover almost every part of their bodies — including their hands — when in public.
"In the beginning they fought ISIS militants with their hands and knives," Karhoot added. "After a while the situation evolved into armed clashes."
The anti-ISIS fighters took control of parts of northern Fallujah, and called for government forces to support their fight against the militants, he added. The tribesmen also destroyed ISIS headquarters in the Julan area of Fallujah as well as two checkpoints, according to Rajeh Barakat, a member in the security committee of Anbar's governing council.
It was not immediately known how many people had been injured or killed.

Evil has a way of turning back against itself, like the SS hanging kids at the end of WWII who were too scared to fight the Russians or the Allies. This is a good sign.

LTC (Join to see) - Women make awesome snipers. The Soviet Unions figured this out quickly in WWII and the female Soviet snipers were legendary at Stalingrad. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3033808/Lady-Death-female-sniper-killed-300-Nazis-Russian-Ukrainian-biopic-legendary-sharpshooter-aims-unite-former-allies-despite-ongoing-crisis-torn-apart.html We all know about Vasily Zaytsev (sometimes spelled Zaitsev) because of the book and then movie, "Enemy at the Gates," but less people know about Lyudimilla Pavlichencko (309) kills. But see also this list http://www.militaryeducation.org/10-deadliest-snipers-of-world-war-2/
Lady Death, the female sniper who killed 300 Nazis
Titled 'Battle for Sevastopol' in Russia but 'Indestructible' in Ukraine, the biopic tells the remarkable story of Lyudmila Pavlichenko who reportedly killed 300 Nazis during World War Two.

The passion of the local people and thus people of a nation will often determine what transpires in the country. The Iraqi government does not want to empower the Sunnis with weapons for the fear of genocide, but this is a Catch 22 situation as ISIS is committing mass murders. I am certain many Sunni militias will fight ISIS if they are given weapons.
