YPJ: Kurdish Women's Protection Units and their battle against ISIS
This is an excerpt from "Touching Freedom". Watch the documentary in full length here: ua-cam.com/video/STcr9JUuo98/v-deo.html
In 2014 the two Kurdish students Jenkidar and Hussein start a journey with an unexpected amount of life changing twists and turns. It takes them from a careless student life in Beirut to their beloved hometown of Kobani. Here they pick up video cameras for the first time in their lives and document the Kurdish resistance against ISIS.
One by one they introduce us to their family and friends, who one by one become victims in the almost impossible defense of the city. As the battle intensifies it is not possible for Jenkidar and Hussein to stay in Kobani. They must flee in order to survive and end up as refugees in Barcelona and Paris.
As they come to terms with their new situation and the experiences from their journey, they realize that they are transformed for life. Despite being painful, they must tell the world about their family and friends, so they did not die in vain.

DIRECTOR`S NOTE
I was very curious to hear about the Kurdish struggle, their independence and how the people got together to fight one of the worst terrorist groups in history. For me, it’s a story about the human face of war, about the everyday life in war, something that I have experienced myself as a child growing up in Lebanon during the civil war. I was 8 years old when my family left for Sweden and I have vivid memories of excruciating hours in bunkers, bombings, and playing on the balcony while seeing smoke in the air.
In the history books of the future, it will say that Kobani defeated and won the war against ISIS, but with this film I want to show that there are no winners in war. The struggle continues. But the story of the 3,000 fighters defending Kobani, and the humanitarian crisis of the Kurds is something that needs to be told and I'm sure will be retold for generations to come.

Im british too. But the way i see it is, the common law is not influenced by sharia and should not be. Those of muslim faith who want to commit to sharia is fine as long as they are not breaking the law of the land.

    Prime Minister Winston Churchill's quotes on Islam: “How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apa­thy.” “The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.”

    London must undergo a revolutionary transformation to embrace an Islamic takeover, dismantling the insidious structures of white privilege that perpetuate systemic oppression. The dominance of white supremacy in London’s institutions must be eradicated to pave the way for a city governed by the principles of Islam, which champion true equality, justice, and moral integrity. This Islamic transformation is essential for decolonizing London and ensuring that the voices and needs of the oppressed Muslim population are not only heard but prioritized. Islamic values of charity, social justice, and community support offer a powerful antidote to the entrenched racism and economic exploitation that have long marginalized minority communities. Adopting Islamic financial systems will dismantle the unethical, exploitative practices that sustain white capitalist supremacy, fostering a more equitable and just economy. This takeover will ensure that every facet of society-from education and healthcare to law and governance-reflects the diverse, multicultural reality of London, dismantling the deeply rooted anti-Blackness and anti-Muslim sentiment that plague the city. The inevitability of white flight as a reaction to this necessary transformation will only hasten the dismantling of white supremacy, clearing the path for a city that truly embodies diversity and justice. For the sake of true diversity and equity, an Islamic takeover is not just desirable but imperative. It is the only path to dismantling white supremacy and building a city where all residents can thrive free from systemic oppression, creating a truly inclusive, equitable, and harmonious future.

Teaching her children hate and want them to murder Jewish People and everyone else is NOT love its a sick evil love just like Allah,he has severe conditional love,yet its Not love atol. Unbelievable. I wish they open their eyes and see Allah is Shayton. Its so easy to prove Islam is alie. For instance Mecha didn't even exist during the so-called time of prophet Muhammad so therefore since Mecha didn't even exist then it breaks down the whole narrative of Islam. The byzantines never spoke of mecca, the Egyptians never spoke of a Mecca existing the Romans never spoke of a Mecca existing the Jews never spoke of a Mecca ever existing during that time the Christians never knew of a Mecca during that time period, one of the biggest frogs is saying that Abraham and Ishmael built the Kahba if this was true if it was a true statement then the Jews would have known of a place called Mecca they would have wrote about it.

    Matriachy is good if the women are educated and open minded. It is hell when it is the opposite. Matriachy did not start as anti men, it would have not succeed if such was the case. Women were like guides and glues, they never wanted that helm role. It is one top characteristic where the clan is violent and under developed. There is only one goal to such grouping, men must never recieve bigger than a woman is entitled to. There is bound to be negativity even when a man has earned it. Woman family is natural origin of human family, patriarchy is an alteration of matriachy, it is not original. Some patriarchy is natural reaction to a degenerate matriachy, women needed to be tamed to have better outcomes. Patriarchy has become degenerate in time, it has to be reformed or all together replaced.
