could you set up a call to an english-speaking assyrian in iraq able to articulate how his evangelicalism is very racist and likely to fund terrorism by inappropriate non-state actors once he gets kidnapped?

quote:

Some of the volunteers said they have come to fight for their religion — others just to fight. Brett calls himself the “King of Nineveh,” after the province of ancient Christian villages now occupied by the Islamic State. He lifted his shirt to show a tattoo on his back of Saint Michael, and Psalm 23 inked up his side.

The Iraqi Assyrians he serves alongside, not all of whom are impressed by the “King of Nineveh” persona, stress that this is not a crusade but a fight to return to their homes.

“We don’t want to fight a holy war for Christians,” said Marcus Naissan, 25, an Iraqi Assyrian fighter. “We fight for our land.” He said that while the influx of foreigners brings a media spotlight and potential funding, it also brings concerns. “We aren’t crusaders,” he said. “That’s how they make it look.”

“There are regulations we have to bear in mind and make sure everything happens according to the legal structure,” Barzani said. “We are thankful for any volunteer that is coming here [to] fight. But we don’t lack men — we lack weapons.”
--
As the Islamic State takes hundreds of Christians hostage in Syria, the leaders here say they are still trying to work out how best to use outside assistance. “It’s very good to have the Westerners coming,” said Capt. Khalid Hamzo, an officer with the official peshmerga forces. He said he recently obtained permission to take two foreigners out to the front lines to see whether they could help resolve an issue with a supply of mortars that were not exploding.

“But they couldn’t help without the Internet,” he said as he left the makeshift headquarters with a printout of a manual on 81mm mortars. “We need artillery experts.”

The Assyrian Christian fighters are largely kept away from the front lines. At Dwekh Nawsha’s forward operating base in the Christian village of Baqufa, they make up the second line of defense behind Kurdish peshmerga forces. The battle here is largely static, but mortar fire is exchanged daily.

travis steals guns and ammo to sell to black gangs and uses the proceeds to build suburban housing which he hopes the gangs will drive rich white folks to

there's even scenes where he basically spells it out 'people don't want to live around people like you any more' to the black gangster boss

then murtaugh whacks his son's friend
