TRAVELING ACROSS IRAQ FOR 7 DAYS (Kurdistan) 

Indeed brother!

❤️

💜💜

❤️

That's what stood out for me in the video also

This is something I’ve always thought of I couldn’t understand how people are labelling immigrants, who’ve fled from terrorism, the same label as their enemies. It’s sad.

The sad truth, But the USA is trying to change that.

@@ANGELQV113 lol then why did they give Al-Queda funds and weapons

@@danieljaramillo9936 pshhhh we dont talk about that. Stop ruining the US "Hero" Image.. ;)

@Ladey Babey ummm America invaded Iraq for oil and started all this.

Evry moslem are not terrorist but all of terrorist are moslem!!daesh. Alqaede. Taliban . Sopay pasdaran ...

But I don’t think they’re christiams

​@@mrlonely5324Eg: US Army... I don't think so there is a bigger terrorist organization. If you are talking about smaller groups then we have some in India ( Separatists )

Every Muslim is not terrorist buy most of the terrorists are muslim

You would be surprised to find that much of the terrorism in the west are perpetrated by right wing extremists.

That was the best line of the whole video

There are more people like him on our planet than the media wants us to believe.

for real, speachless

And the moon in the background gave me chills!!

@Jesus Gonzalez ....are u ok, its just christianity, christianity influenced European cultrue not the other way round, just like it influenced the assyrian ppl who live in this so called Kurdistan

Mainstream media is very much on the left side of politics and are so easy to claim racism or any other type of bigotry, yet they deal in identity politics and segregation, which is incredibly bigoted. Identity politics stereotypes people of a certain culture, subculture, lifestyle, etc. People should not be defined by what they are but by who they are. Are there bad people in these cultures? Of course there are. But there are also good people. We should not be ignorant about cultures and ask people of different cultures about their culture. Not only are they happy to talk about their culture, but knowledge removes fear. Ignorance and the unknown is fear. Unfortunately, thanks to mainstream media, we are living in a pandemic of fear.

Jews do not pray to the same god.. They literally do not.

Beautiful message

In Iraq, our religions differ, and there are also many nationalities. We love each other and live in peace. I love them all because they are my countrymen.

That statement made me cry too. It was crazy how he was laughing and talking about such sad and horrible things but making positivity about it.

Wth why do you cry with that? Seek help you two. It's not normal to cry that easily.

Yesss God bless you

Sameee

I'm so appreciative of seeing it this genuine way ... full of solid context... looks wonderful.

I am Turkish 🖐

Ayyyy a fellow Kurd

Kurds are not native to mesopotamia.

Thanks 😊

Mesopotamia is not Kurdistan. It’s Assyria. Kurds tried stealing it after killing many Assyrians for the land. It’s not Kurdistan Kurdistan doesn’t exist.

@marissaz1771 you are right Assyria

​@@MariVelvet_You said well that it is northern Iraq, our land and our country, so that the world stops saying Kurdistan. There is no such thing as Kurdistan. There is such a thing as Iraq.

@@aybe32 What do you mean what does he lie about and how do you know his stories are fake. I would actually like to know.

His laughter is priceless😁

The historical times he is referencing, are not accurate, deliberately twisted, and misconstrued to fit his outlined agenda.Therefore I know what he is saying are significant spun up lies. This has been nothing more, then a propaganda video for him and the "Kurds".

@@rangkazzaz771 I have no affiliation, With Kurds, Arabs Muslims, or the MiddleEast other then it being my former Duty station. I'm just over the propaganda, Kurds have been looked after really well by the international community but are consistently double dealing in attempts to carve a country inside already existing sovereign nations, undermining stability of the region. @Rang Kazzaz get cultured & educated please.

Thank you brother for also being so generous in the video, explaining what Kurds and Yezdis have been through👏🏻

Amazing people in Iraq

Thank you for showing how amazing your culture is, and how generous and welcoming your people are, from your muslim brother

THERE IS NO COUNTRY IN THE WORD AS KURDISTAN..IT IS ILLEGAL NAME.. It would be more correct to call it Northern Iraq instead of Kurdistan. Since the Turkmen, who have owned that geography for 1000 years, are only seen as a minority, then the Kurds are also a minority. That is Northern Iraq.

I think i should show this video to family and friends. It might really help them

@@redacted8678 amazing idea

As an American who has also visited the country, I can say that so many have the wrong idea. It was a beautiful place.

Hi Yousif, I just want to tell you Iraq is not synonymous with "terrorism and war" for a lot of people in the world. When 9/11 happened I was a little girl. I remember everything of that day and the years that followed. I remember the hate aimed at Arabs, Middle-Easterners and muslims totally uncalled for. I always felt so deeply sorry for the people of Iraq (and Afghanistan) who were victims twice: first of the regimes and then of the war and instability that followed. When I grew up and it came time to choose a university, I chose to study languages, literatures and cultures. One of the languages I chose was Arabic. I wanted to know more about the language and by default about the culture, the history and the people. I never had hate towards Arabs or Iraqi on the contrary I was super curious to know about Iraqis. Since the first images I saw of Baghdad I wanted to go there and visit the place. Now I'm almost done with my degree and I hope I will be able to go there. Sorry for the poem I wrote, lol it's a long winded response to your statement only to say that a lot of people are curious and benevolent towards you

in addition "don't stereotype us with terrorists"..🙏

@@janche Would you say its also part of the religions of the West and culture too? Given the amount of bombs dropped and countries reduced to rubble, not to mention the genocides by these countries. Terror is not part of the religion, very ignorant statement.

@@janche or maybe it’s due to the large concentration of Muslims in one region in turn extremists are bound to rise as in the case of the KKK in the US, you shouldn’t correlate a religion with 200 different sects under one umbrella.

@MaskeD DEATH read it first and then say what's wrong with it

@MaskeD DEATH you say this yet Dubai is your girls dream vacation, I don’t have time to argue with someone this arrogant.

Badar khan's story really touched my heart because I have a similar story to him. I was born and raised in a city called Idlib in northern Syria, you might have heard about it on the news. I had to leave my school, friends and relatives behind at a young age, I was 9 years old. My mum took me and my 4 other siblings and we went to the Turkish border and we met with a guy that will help us smuggle into Turkey because we had Syrian passports but we couldn't get in. So the only way in was to go through fields and it was tough for my mum because she had to carry my younger siblings because they couldn't walk long distances. Then I remember when we got into Turkey, the Turkish people are the most hospitable and caring people you could ever meet, because I remember it was winter time and we had no place to go to or sleep so we just sat in a park and cuddled up to stay warm and we had no food. Then a Turkish man seen us from his house and came over and gave us food and water and we were so grateful for him. Then we went to Ankara airport and took a plane all the way to Manchester airport that is in the UK were we met up with our dad because we haven't seen him for over 4 years because he rarely used to cone home because he used to work in Greece and send the money to my mum back in Syria. And the way my dad came to the UK is way more difficult than the way we came in because he had to cross freezing cold rivers and damped fields at night so he wouldn't get caught then when he got to France he jumped into a loaded truck that had baby milk powder and that almost killed him because it was air seeled and he had little air to breath. But Allah didn't want him to die so when he crossed into the UK the police caught him and took him into the refuge hostel in the UK to have a place and make documents for us to fly from Turkey to Manchester. So when we got to Manchester it felt like it's a new chapter in my life because I knew that I can see my dad everyday and I'm able to live in a safe environment and go to school and complete my education. So when we met my dad in the airport I can still remember this like it's as bright as day light in my memory, I remember we were looking for him then when we recognised him we ran so fast and gave him the biggest hug and kisses then we got a national express bus the the city my dad was in. It's called Liverpool and that's when I went to school, I started in year 5 when I didn't even know a single word of English so wheb students used to speak to me I just nodded my head to them. But now obviously my English is 100% better than what it was 7/8 years ago😂😂. And the 2nd chapter or i should say tye 3rd chapter in our life was when we officially became free because on the 26th october 2019 we had a ceremony at the st georges catgerdial in Liverpool and wr got our British citizenship and that was a really happy time for me and my family because we felt free to travel to places were we couldn't go because we had no passports. All thanks to Allah because he is the one that planned this life for me. Alhamdulillah my family is safe and happy and I'm so grateful for everything that has happened in my life because my studies are going well and currently I'm in my first year of 6th form and I can't wait to see what my future holds for me. Because after 6th form I'm going to university to study Dentistry and hopefully become a dentist. I'm so sorry that this comment was sooo long but if you've read all of it please leave a like so I know that people actually read it. Even though it was a long comment I still have more to say but I'll leave it as it is and I want to thank you again for taking the time out of your day and reading this. I love you and I pray for the best in your future. Peace from 🇸🇾/🇬🇧❤❤

right thanks a lot

I swear none of the things I've seen on media are reality, most highly exaggerated good sides hidden. Kind of evil people that leads us blocks us from knowing such good people exist

His a amazing person and his speech is eye opening!

Yeah but Kurdistan is also completely different from Iraq. Its people, culture, history, and even religion are totally different from that of Iraq (You know there are Kurdistanians who are blond-hair blue-eyed?). Kurdistan is not even supposed to be part of Iraq. Even when it was part of Iraq under Saddam Hussein, it was a self-autonomous region. And UN and the world, in order to appease Iraq just lumped Kurdistan together with Iraq. And when the world imposed sanctions on Iraq, it imposed sanctions on Kurdistan too bringing much misery to its people. It's just that its unfortunate geographic location of being completely surrounded by five countries on all sides, it has been always been a site of war, much to the chagrin of the people there. And the people of Kurdistan have fought very bravely and very hard against the oppression by Saddam Hussein who used chemical warfare, land mines, everything sinister possible to bring Kurdistan under its control. Glad to see Kurdistan is finally enjoying some economic prosperity.
