But on the other hand, they are the people who shielded the Christians in Iraq and in Syria when the Muslims with the upper hand were butchering them.
God help the US to handle this properly, in spite of Obozo's support of the Islamists Terrorists.
God protect the brave Kurds in Kobani.
In just over 3 decades (since the Islamic Khomeinist regime in Iran came to power), the Kurds in Iraq, Syria, Turkey and Iran have been, mostly (not all, but mostly), Secular (separation of religion from state). Being secular has many advantages. For one, religious persecution of minorities is diminished, if not totally stopped.
I use that date i.e. Islamic Khomeinist regime in Iran as a significant starting point, because, since then we've seen a rapid spread in Islamism, Islamic terrorism, and Islamic govts being installed in the M.E. and N. Africa.
To be Secular as the majority of Kurds are, and don't want to live under Sharia, in my view, is a Very Good thing, in mentioned regions.
Unfortunately, Obama since 2011 simply has worked to not only topple secular govts in mentioned regions, but also actively support Islamic factions, groups and play them against one another, then bomb one country after another. And, NO, Obama does Not care about Christians either.
“..they are the people who shielded the Christians in Iraq and in Syria when the Muslims with the upper hand were butchering them. ..”
Impressive!
Obama: Does Kobani have any golf courses?
Aide: No
Obama: FORE!!!
While their history in the second half of the 20th century to present warrants sympathy, one must remember the central role played by Kurds in the slaughter of Armenians in the first half of the 20th century.
Ain’t gonna happen Fossil,
In the future obammy will be judged for allowing this masacre to happen.
Course being a mooselimb the bastard thinks it his duty to kill or allow Christians to bekilled.
Hey magic negro ya f-ing turd ya play sports like an 8 year old girl or a 50 +
Year old fag.
I was at HQ European Command hen Operation Provide Comfort was in full swing in 1991. At one point during that year news reports mentioned President Bush (41) was experiencing possible heart problems. At the aid location in southern Turkey, dozens of young Kurdish men approached the American liaison and offered to sacrifice their lives so President Bush could have a new heart. To me, that speaks volumes of the character of the Kurds.
Also, lest we forget, the Kurdish were the only group within Iraq who turned out in large numbers to welcome American troops, and to this day the Peshmerga are the only able fighting force in that country. I have great respect for those people.
