ISIS and their ilk don’t exactly respect women, do they? Helly Lev, a Kurdish singer in Iraq is pissed off at the situation and lets it be known in a song called “Risk It All.” Yes, she’s been getting death threats for daring to be so uppity, but she doesn’t care. This is one brave woman.

Pretty lady, catchy song.
The Kurds seem to be the most normal people in that region. The rest of them seem to be caught up in their death culture.
That was actually true of most Muslims prior to the Iranian Revolution. The worst radicalization has taken place since 1979.
Hat tip to Jimmy Carter.
A bit heavy around the hips but that’s ok.
She’s got the looks and the voice to go with it.
Talking about foreign music...

Time to recognize Kurdistan (and ask them to be a conduit to provide materials to the Iranian opposition.)
I guess you’re too young to remember the Munich Olympics and the Pan AM plane that was bombed on the tarmac in Rome in 1972 where a whole bunch of ARAMCO kids died on their way to meet their parents in Saudi Arabia.
Of course, we were both too young to have been in Turkey in 1918 where close to 2 million Armenians were murdered some having been crucified the Roman way.
And of course you haven’t read European history and their ages long fight against Islam. Murder, rape and slavery was in Mohammed’s DNA and has been passed on to Muslims.
I vividly recall the massacre but was quite young at the time.
I’m not saying it wasn’t bad in the past, but there has been an explosion in radicalization of late. The Ottoman Empire did keep a lid on the worst of the Arabs, and in spite of the atrocities against the Armenians most Christians & Jews in that part of the world were safer than they are now. Compounding the problems today are the global ambitions of many Islamic groups that the Turks would not have tolerated.
Although 1979 was a milestone, I think the collapse of the Empire started the Muslim world down the road to ruin, as it led directly to the rise of the House of Saud and the Muslim Brotherhood during the 1920s.

The Kurds have always seemed to be the whipping boys/girls of both Iraq and Iran. I think they should have and deserve their own country about a billion times more than the philistines.

We are still paying the price for Jimmy Carter’s incompetence. I am afraid we’ll pay an even greater price for Obama’s cluelessness.
I am of the opinion that the extreme radicalization of Islam took place after the West became so dependent on ME oil and started to invite the muzzies to come live with them — biggest mistake ever made.
That’s definitely a large part of the equation. Oil wealth changed the dynamic big time.
