Oregon musician traveling to Syria to sing for peace

It may sound crazy to some, but it's not the first time James Twyman has gone to a war torn area to sing and pray for peace. While it might be dangerous, James feels he has to do it.

Twyman sings the Muslim prayer. It's just one of many prayers he puts to music from various religions when he sings for peace around the world.

In the late 90's, Twyman performed in Baghdad amid fallout from Dessert Storm and he played in Syria a couple years ago.

On Jan. 20, Twyman will travel to the Israeli-Syrian border to hold a concert in a Syrian village. It is in ISIS-dominated territory, but Twyman says he has people there setting it up and making sure it's as safe as possible.

He should take the sock puppet guy with him.

Nothing teaches peace like someone sticking his hand into an old sock.

If he's lucky, Bluto will get to him first, before ISIS does.

With all the violence, with all the feat that has been generated, I think the only answer is for us to focus on love and compassion and peace.

Focus on love and compassion and peace?
That's exactly what the Muslims want us naive Infidels to do, while they overcome us Kafirs. -Tom

That’s great, just as long as everyone understands that no American blood or treasure will be expended to seek his eventual recovery.

Must be the grandson of the priest who waived the white hanky at the martian invasion force in War of the Worlds. These guys keep having kids before they die, it’s like a loophole in the Darwin Awards.

Exactly this. Let him co-ordinate with Bowe Bergdahl’s parents.
