This Portland Hippie Is Planning a ‘Peace Concert’ in ISIS-Controlled Syria

James Twyman, 'Peace Troubadour,' is embarking on 'the most important and dangerous peace mission' of his life-to the Israel-Syria border and beyond, wielding his classical guitar.

ISIS generally doesn't respond well to music.

But that isn't stopping James Twyman, an author and musician based in Portland, Oregon, from planning a trip to ISIS-held territory in Syria later this month to help bring peace to the region through the power of a musical-prayer concert.

Dumbest post of the week.

What's his play list?

"If I Were A Rich Man"

"I Have a Little Dreidel"

"God Bless America"

"Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue"

and, just to get them into a real frenzy, "We Are The World"

Well, that last one would make me want to decapitate him, at least...

[paintriot]

Would you compare this guy to Christ?

[marktwain]

Don’t forget that Christ rode to Jerusalem knowing of his demise
Would you call Christ an idiot ?

Non-sequitur.

Christ was both devine and human.

On the other hand, this musician may, by example, serve a higher purpose.

"Hava Nagila?"

Heck, have TWO Nagilas ...

In ISISLAND, it’s ‘Lose your head’.

GREAT stuff Bill! You’re killin’ me! lol

[mkjessup]

BRAVO! lol

[ExCTCitizen]

I believe his first song will be: I'll be dead my Christmas and I think, it be the only song he'd sing...

I heard they beheaded a quartet for singing...

[ExCTCitizen]

Maybe he could convince Obama to go wth him...

[When do we get liberated?]

I hope he leaves before the election...

[ExCTCitizen]

Suicide by Stupidity...

I feel bad for this guy. He actually seems to believe his hippie-dippie friends who say that Islam is a religion of peace and that they can be reasoned with. All he needs to do is bring an acoustic guitar and he can bring about world peace.

Took me well over five minutes to stop laughing. Still have tears....

Keep Portland weird.

From what I gathered by reading the article and checking out his website, this guy is not a Christian. In fact, I didn't see any mention of Jesus at all. He appears to group all the religions together, so Jesus would just be one of many religious figures. Sounds like he is into New Age or Baha'i. Definitely into spoon bending and psychic manifestations. He believes in some mystical power to make peace in this area of the world though his singing of a Islamic song. So to suggest that Jesus may be sending him on a mission is highly unlikely.

I wonder if he did something intelligent like buying his plot and marker before he leaves.

Christ wasnt a pothead.

The highest logic, that of the Creator of the universe. We may not always understand with our mortal minds, but our Lord is immortal and all knowing.

That said, why are you trying to attribute Christ-likeness to this man? Do you know him, know that he is a dedicated follower of Christ? If not, why assign those attributes to someone you do not know?

If your message is that we, as believers, should not call someone a fool, you should state that clearly. It is a blessing to be warned of our sins.

However, I suspect, you are here to troll, since your post was not logical.
