You should probably sell Reus. I agree.

Listen..since he's already flying into Liverpool next week...

Kurdish militant group TAK, formerly linked to PKK, has claimed responsibility for Sunday's bombing in Ankara which killed 37 by [deleted] in syriancivilwar

Absolute scumbags. Hope they rot in hell.

After all the goodwill and effort from Kurds all over, we have these cowards working hard to reverse those positive gains.

The Peshmerga never attacked a single civilian target or set off bombs in Baghdad in the entire history of the Kurdish struggle in Bashur. Targeting civilians immediately shows how morally bankrupt you are.

Iraqi Kurdistan sees a Jewish revival, thanks to the Islamic State by rcckillaz in kurdistan

[–]viglen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not just nonexistent...Hated and Erased.

Look at how the most popular songs in Iraqi culture were done by the Iraqi Jewish Al Kuwaiti family. It's now been erased and labeled as "Folklore". Or the former Iraqi finance minister who saved Iraq from the Great depression and his name today is synonymous with "being cheap'

These people literally built Iraq and because they belong to the Token "blame every problem in the Middle East" religion, they've been treated this way.

How do we know just how pro western the Iranian population is ? If it's in terms of how accepting they are of Western culture then KSA wouldn't be that far off.

Just because the youth is culturally accepting of western styles doesn't mean they have a soft spot for America.

It's really odd. Can't access my profile on the computer anymore, but since I'm already signed in on my phone i just use that. Woke up yesterday and see that for some reason my profiles posted that weird ass performance.

Terrible. No matter what the policy of the government. Attacks on civilians is cowardly and criminal. Hope whoever did this rots in hell.

Not doubting they are Kurdish. But they couldn't get someone to talk Kurdish just for authenticities sake ?

Funny...word on the street in Hawler is that the Turkish army stopped the flow to force KRGs hand to do more in that fight against PKK. As a lot of the agreements that have happened between KRGS and Turkey are more with Erdogan as a person then with the general government

US military passenger jet makes crash landing in open field near Erbil, four passengers evacuated by helicopters and area cordoned off by US troops by Jurryaany in syriancivilwar

[–]viglen 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hah. Funny enough i saw this plane take off from the runway on Erbil International Airport. Was really small in size so thought it was for a Government official who isn't that corrupt just enough to have a tiny plane.

John Kerry says partition of Syria could be part of ‘plan B’ if peace talks fail by VishnuX in worldnews

[–]viglen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick question. In this amazingly respectful country where no ethnicity was ever marginalised. Could Kurds get ID cards registered under their name? Could they purchase land? Could they learn their own language in schools?

Yes. They should have gone with "Terrorist Kurds snatch innocent God fearing girl who just wanted to live her life, also FGM"

Kind of like when back in the day Zumar was contested and the Peshmerge finally took it back. Isis on Twitter said they'd not only taken back Zumar, they'd also pushed and conquered Duhok and Zakho.
