UAE female fighter pilot in ISIS blitz disowned by family?

[Terpe]

While the world celebrated her courage, the family of Major Mariam Al-Mansouri from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), didn’t share the enthusiasm of many people and had, in fact, reportedly disowned her for taking part in the US-led airstrikes against ISIS in Syria.


Roughly translated inEnglish, the statement read as follows according to a Daily Mail report:-

In the name of God All Merciful.

O ye who believe! Take not your fathers or your brethren for friends if they favour disbelief over faith. Those of you who taketh them for friends are wrong-doers.’ [Quranic verse]
