| A spirit like Salahuddin's: How Kurdish Muslims downed ISIS |
| 2014-10-23 |
| From September 25 through October 19, 2014, a battle raged on ostensibly for a piece of land in the center of the planet, but it could well have been for the very soul of Islam. The self-proclaimed Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) band of militants marched on to a small border town in the North of Syria and South of Turkey in their bid to rule the entire region stretching 60 miles from Raqqa in Syria to Turkey. The small border town is called Kobani â commonly referred to as Ayn-al-Arab â inhabited by 250,000 Kurdish Muslims. The town was surrounded, outnumbered, outgunned, and written off for dead by most experts. |

| #2 Never again will the world ever be able to say that moderate Muslims of conscience did not stand up to the ISIS militants. Now why is so hard for the donks to talk about the threat from radical jihadist? There are moderate Muslims helping out the USA anti-terror effort at all levels many of whom are US citizens. Nobody is trying to tar Muslims with a broad brush. Define you enemy; he is defining you. |
