There is not a single one that is Islamist.
There are some Muslims. There are many atheists among PKK. There are some Christians. There are some Lefties. I’ve seen some of them flash Che’ banners, I hate it.
I am close to some YPG/JPJ in Syria. They are totally secular. There are a broad sector of religions among them.
They are kind people. They are good neighbors. I’ve seen what they do to protect others from ISIS. That is enough for me.
I did break with FR tradition and I read the story before posting:
There are just a few imams in the region who can wash and perform the religious ceremonies for these bodies.
That doesn't meet my definition of secular.
Rule number 1 in the Middle East. There are no good guys.
“There are some Muslims. There are many atheists among PKK. There are some Christians. There are some Lefties. I’ve seen some of them flash Che’ banners, I hate it.”
So in other word they’re pretty much like every other group of fools who fell for the communist bilge swallow throughout history.
I’ll sit this one out, too. There’s no vital American national interest here. Let them sort it out.
Then we can kick Turkey out of NATO and be done with it.
