We all will be asked about the Kurdish heroes defending Kobanê

What's happening right now in and around Kobanê, will be the basis for world class films in a few years. I am honestly afraid that instead of epics with a happy ending they will be tragedies. In any case, we all - although only very few ones are realizing this fact now – will ask ourselves, or what maybe even more unpleasant, will be asked, what we did in these moments, as the attacks carried out by the inhuman murder gangs of ISIS aimed on the Kurdish town of Kobanê. Furthermore we all will be asked about our opinions in the face of this historical moment.


Even those who currently remain indifferent to the besieged Kurdish freedom fighters will remember my words. At least, maybe in two, maybe in five years, when one of their relatives or friends will come back from this planet’s cinemas with a crying face and bunches of paper handkerchiefs soaked with tears, they will remember those words.

Others who are now showing horrible lacks of humanity by silently or even loudly feeling and expressing support for the murderous scum and the scum of the ISIS will be ashamed, or as for such kind of people always use to do, deny, what a disgusting position they will have supported.

Still others will be able to proudly say: "I was on the road and have manifested for the heroic Kurdish defenders, who do not just defend a strategically less important town named Kobanê in West Kurdistan (Northern Syria), but first and foremost all the ideals and principles like the equality of the sexes, religions and ethnicities, that Western societies claim to be proud of, but today take for granted much too often.

I'll have to admit that I was restlessly sitting in a hotel room in Switzerland and to have sent those words to only a few hundred people, while I expected some business appointments that may seem important to me, but made me feel so small compared to the heroes struggling for freedom in Kobanê at the same time.
Even, if not now and even if it will be too late for those Kurdish heroes, we all will realize in a couple of years that what is going on there is a modern Iliad.

The counterpart to Homer's Hector of Troy in these days are Kurdish fighters like Jailan Diren (The Kurdistan Tribune: To Jailan) who preferred to commit suicide, after a heroic fight for her liberal ideals and the freedom and independence of their people, instead of being enslaved, or Arin Mirkan, who surrounded by the members of the gang of murderers, even sacrificed herself to the burden of more than 70 of these perverse beings off her fellow fighters (YPG Arin Mirkan, Hero in the Earth & in the Heaven).

They deserve more respect, appreciation and admiration than any pop star, football club or fashion guru.
It will take some years until the stories of these freedom fighters will conquer cinemas all over the world. But, there is no doubt about that this will happen and their deaths will not have been in vain!
