How Two Americans Helped More Than 100 Iraqi Christian Refugees Escape ISIS - ABC News

Quote:

An American husband and wife team helped more than 100 Iraqi Christian refugees escape ISIS terror threats in their homeland and flee to Europe.

Joseph and Michele Assad, former U.S. counter-terrorism officers, helped arrange for 25 families, 149 refugees in all including 62 children, to board a privately-chartered plane in the Kurdistan region of Iraq on Dec. 10, and land in Kosice, Slovakia, where they will be granted asylum within a month.

“We are so proud of Slovakia,” Michele Assad told ABC News “20/20.” “They were very courageous to make this decision and it wasn’t an easy one to make, yet they did. … We hope other countries will have similar courage.”

Could be, he's a bit like Marr in that he likes to seem hard hitting on screen

Today I was talking to a teenage girl who grew up as a Christian minority in two separate Muslim countries and she was saying how ISIS isn't really Muslim. She wasn't just repeating liberal rhetoric but was saying honestly how she feels as a person who faced difficulties dealing with Islam herself but her opinions and feelings are so much more tempered than mine. I know this isn't going to be a big surprise to anyone but I'm really a very pissed off person and sometimes my politics are distorted by unfounded hatred. Sometimes it's in a good way and sometimes bad. I'm not making excuses. I'm stating a fact when I say I'm mentally unstable.

Recognizing you might have gotten bad or one-sided information on a subject is a great thing. Nothing wrong with giving opposing views a real, honest shot. Glad to hear it!

And with anger issues, it's always a good idea to see a counselor if you're able. Getting at the root helps.

I tried. I can't afford it. No access.

Islam is terrible. But so is Christianity and Judism, and all the others.

Except for that Aztec human sacrifice and penis impaling religion. That one is fantastic.
