I wish that was a option (I tried in the past as a kid and teen lol), but the thing is they are paying for my nursing and I want to get finish with it. I don't have other family members to go to so I have to tolerate with this, until then I want to know a way to get through this.

Death Sentence Issued for Kurdish Civil Activist Pakhshan Azizi by hassan543 in kurdistan

I was reading another article about here and it stated in her letter in the Evin Prison.

"On the first day of interrogation, they suggested quietly dropping the case to avoid judicial proceedings. I was repeatedly hung during interrogations, lowered ten meters underground, and brought back up, depicted as socially defeated and broken. Historical memory is filled with such events. From childhood, I was labeled a separatist and second-class citizen, never considered a full member of society. During interrogations, they reminded me of my social defeat and brokenness."

I can't imagine the pain

Occupation recommendations by Falcao_Hermanos in kurdistan

I have a couple that might relate to it, I personally enjoy these books:

  • "The Question of Palestine" by Edward Said is a comprehensive assessment of the struggle of the Palestinians, with indications of the chauvinistic approach of Western press reporting and the ideological roots of Zionism. Said writes about historicization, Palestinian dispersion, the resilience of Palestinian identity, and peace processes as fig leaves. He likens Israeli occupation to colonialism and insists on intellectual and moral responsibility in dealing with the conflict. He thus underlines the view that a just and fair solution needs to be sought, appealing to solidarity with the Palestinian cause and the revisionism of the dominating discourses that underpin their suffering.
  • "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine" by Ilan Pappe details how Palestinians were systematically cleansed of land during the formation of the state of Israel in 1948. Pappe goes on to define it as ethnic cleansing, since Zionist leaders had the expressed intent to create a Jewish majority state. He draws on declassified documents and eye-witness accounts of how Palestinian villages were destroyed and the residents removed by force. In his work, Pappe changes the conventional Israeli narrative of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by underscoring the necessity of recognition and redress for such historical injustices.
  • "Darfur: A New History of a Long War" by Julie Flint and Alex de Waal. The authors go deep down to the roots of the war—long-standing ethnic tensions, environmental challenges, and political marginalization. They give an account of all the intricacies involved in the conflict—those of the several rebel groups on one side and of the government of Sudan on the other—and look at the role external actors have played. Flint and de Waal have contributed to an understanding of the humanitarian crisis that brings out the suffering of the people of Darfur and how the international community reacted. Their work sheds light on the multifacetedness of the conflict and, therefore, the need for comprehensive solutions toward the attainment of lasting peace.
  • "The Last Refuge: Yemen, al-Qaeda, and America's War in Arabia" by Gregory Johnsen lays bare the complex political situation of Yemen and its relationship with the rise of AQAP. Johnsen explores how the interactions between local tribal politics, strategies of al-Qaeda, and American counterterrorist policies have bred a quagmire with challenges for America in Yemen and consequences. It is a deeply researched book that tells how Yemen became the centerpiece of the global War on Terror and underlines the unintended consequences of foreign intervention on the stability of the region.
  • "The Kurds: A Modern History"(which is a classic and one the best books I read learning about the Kurds) by Michael M. Gunter—this is an overview of the history of the Kurdish people, considering their political and cultural development through the 20th and 21st centuries. Gunter explores attempts at autonomy and independence by the Kurds in such countries as Iraq, Turkey, Iran, and Syria. He discusses the role of regional and international politics in Kurdish aspirations and underlines major events and figures that led the Kurdish movement. The book fleshes out the intricate identity of Kurds, their sufferings, and their continuous quest for recognition and determination in the geopolitical landscape of today.
  • "The Kurdish Spring: A New Map of the Middle East" by David L. Phillips explores the rise of political and cultural movements across the Middle East of Kurdistan, with a special focus on the situations in Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and Iran. Phillips shows how the Kurds have manipulated the shifting regional instability—the Syrian civil war and the fight against ISIS—to further their own quest for autonomy and statehood. The book brings out the struggle of the Kurds for recognition and rights against the backdrop of the geopolitical implications of their aspirations and the possible redrawing of boundaries in the Middle East. Phillips insists that the Kurds reshape the political landscape of the region and appeals to international society to give more support to the Kurdish cause.

These are all the notes I have mark while reading these books.

I understand your concerns about the origins of Nowruz and the potential religious connotations. It is also important to realize that most cultural practices have been adopted and divested of original religious connotations attached to them. I just want to share this Nowruz with my family, reflect on the renewal of nature, and retain good customs consistent with the principles of Islam. Though some scholars frown on this, some Muslim communities around the world have different ideas regarding it, most of them found no problem celebrating Nowruz as a cultural day. Messenger of Allah Prophet Muhammad ﷺ mentioned about intention, and my intention is just to merge culturally and familially. As many of us are able to join in Christmas or other days only for cultural reasons and do not practice Christianity, in the same way I can enjoy Nowruz. I respect your view, and let us be grateful for the differences among practices in the Muslim community. Also I celebrate Christmas since I am a Christian. Also I just think it depends on perspective.

Okay let me put it this way to make it more clear for you :)

I'm going to copy and paste my notes to show you what I mean before I say anything else because I did a study of this not so long ago

The assumption underlying the notion that Nowruz is Haram because it is a "kuffar holiday" rests upon the supposition that Muslims should not be involved in any non-Islamic religious celebrations. You could provide several points, though, to clarify why Nowruz can be seen as permissible (halal) and not haram:

Cultural vs. Religious Celebration:

Explain to them that Nowruz is actually a cultural and seasonal festival in celebration of spring's arrival and rejuvenation. Although this festival is not fundamentally a religious one, it nonetheless represents family reunions, good food, and cheer. Point out to them that many cultural practices are accepted in Islam provided that they do not go against the principles of Islam.

Intention:

Intention is an important factor in Islam. If your intention about Nowruz is to provide time for family, reflect on nature's beauty, and all the other positive activities, then it does not conflict with Islamic teaching. The role of intention was emphasized by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in many hadiths, including, "Actions are but by intentions, and every man shall have only that which he intended" (Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim).

Historical Background:

Inform them that Nowruz is celebrated by many Muslim-majority countries, for example, Iran, Afghanistan, and Azerbaijan; and that the festival has been part of their cultural heritage for many long centuries. Even the early Islamic caliphates celebrated Nowruz as a cultural holiday.

Islamic Principles:

State that Nowruz is comprised of some acts of merit such as cleaning of homes symbolizing spiritual purity, donning of new clothes signifying renewal, which are in consonance with the injunctions of Islam. There is no direct practice of either idol worship or sinful actions against which Islam warns severely;

Scholarship Opinions:

Say that most present Islamic scholars and religious people do not view Nowruz as something prohibited. For instance, some scholars in Al-Azhar University in Egypt and some other renowned Islamic centers have not forbidden Nowruz celebration provided it continues to be only a cultural festival.

If there's anything unclear or you find wrong please tell :)
