Western Lions Volunteer to Fight ISIS Horrified by ISIS atrocities,dozens of western volunteers are fighting alongside the Kurdish Peshmerga army againstISIS Islamic militants in Syria and Iraq. People from the United Kingdom, America, Germany, Canada and other western countries, including a woman, have reportedly answered recruitment call from Lions of Rojava, a Facebook site run by the Kurdish Peoples Protection Units. Many of them have military backgrounds, The Muslim Issue has reported. Americans Jordan Matson, an early US Army discharge, and Jeremy Woodard, an Army veteran with tours to Afghanistan and Iraq, and six unidentified Canadian special forces veterans are among them. Also volunteering are former British infantryman James Hughes, who had three tours in Afghanistan, and his friend, Jamie Read, who was trained by the French army. Others, including an Australian, refuse to be identified.Gill Rosenberg, a Canadian-Israeli woman was the first westerner to join YPGs female squads Reports of ISISs cruelty, rapes and murders of Christians, Yasidis and even Muslims who dont agree with ISISis drawing outside fighters. The caged immolation of a Jordanian pilot was the latest atrocity to horrify the world. How many people were sold into slavery or killed just for being part of a different ethnic group or religion? Matson told The Associated Press. Thats something I am willing to die to defend. Im not going back until the fight is finished and ISIS is crippled, Matson said. I decided that if my government wasnt going to do anything to help this country, especially Kurdish people who stood by us for 10 years and helped us out while we were in this country, then I was going to do something. The work is dirty and hard with little payback but the satisfaction of helping people in need. Its dangerous, of course, and some volunteers have been wounded. Generally western nations, except Australia, dont forbid the volunteering as long as they arent fighting their home country. The Assyrian Christians and Yasidis forming militias as well, so volunteers will have options: see link. Do you EVER post anything else? Words can not illustrate the ignorance of your statement. Rancher Muslims have been gaining in numbers and territory by torturing and killing unbelievers since the 7th century until the Ottoman empire was broken up after WWI in 1924. They enslaved and raped captive women and children during their rein of terror. They tried to invade Europe many times but were pushed back by the Crusades. Unless we know history we are fooled into believing Terrorism is something new by Islam because of the terrible things the United States is doing or because Israel was made into a nation after WWII. The truth is terrorist are following the teachings of the Quran just like they did during the Ottoman empire. Moderate Muslims are just the ones that dont take Islam seriously. The radical Muslims are the ones who take it seriously because Islam is a radical belief. Islam seeks the establishment of Sharia law that calls for the submission and or death of unbelievers. Our constitution guarantees freedom of religion. Sharia law is, of its own nature, unconstitutional and can not be permitted in order to protect the very freedom of religion it seeks to destroy. The other problem with Islam is it isnt just a religion, it is also a form of government that seeks to replace other forms of governments. What imbeciles. ISIS is a creation of the US and Israel.
