Our Last Stand

One woman’s journey to reveal the plight of Christians in Iraq and Syria

In Our Last Stand, Helma, an Assyrian-American school teacher from New York, spends her summer vacation traveling to Iraq and Syria to help raise awareness about the plight of the Christian communities threatened by civil war and ISIS.
Helma’s journey takes her from refugee camps struggling to care for Christians who have fled ISIS in Northern Iraq, to the small militias helping to defend and retake villages from ISIS in the Nineveh Plains and Hasakah, Syria, to Helma’s family’s hometown of Quamishli in Northern Syria. During her trip, Helma uncovers both heart-breaking and inspiring stories of grief, despair, persecution, courage and hope as she discovers what it means to sacrifice for her faith and community
This first-of-its-kind documentary will inform westerners, especially Americans, about the existence of these ancient Christian communities, the threats they face and the crucial role these communities play in the Middle East. By building awareness, Our Last Stand will help American citizens, policy makers and others stand in solidarity with the persecuted.

Is a lot of the funding of ISIS coming from certain petroleum rich countries? Maybe not from the government but from private backers?http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/isi...ls-say-n208006

OH HELL YEAH! Of course it is. There is so much money in the hands of few in these countries that it makes our income gap look equal. The reason their religious doctrine has never changed is because neither their government nor their people want it changed. Maybe a small minority, but these people are believers, no doubt it for a minute, in the Shariah and Jihad doctrines if Islam. They call it "ancient" and no longer applicable in practice, but that's bull. It is still in practice in every country where it exists. They execute Christians, they stone women to do death, they mutilate for thievery, they accept honor killings as a legal religious right, you have to have an exit visa just to leave Saudi Arabia, they hold your passports and don't give them back to you until you have their permission to leave. Women in Saudi Arabia just got the right to vote this year, 2015, at separate polling locations from men. One can only hope they got the same ballot, but who would know? They can't drive, go outside alone or show their faces. Islam is the highest law of the land, and even in Iraq and Afghanistan under their new Constitutions, their Koran based Constitutions don't allow their parliaments to ever change that, so all law is decided by the law of the Koran which to my knowledge has not been revised to exclude Shariah or Jihad. In fact, after Donald Trump's statements, the Imams of Saudi Arabia ordered Jihad.

So, if Saudi Arabia is typical of these Muslim Monarchies which I'm sure they are, then the Muslim claims about their religion, at least foreign Muslims, are not peaceful, they're violent, warring, Shariah Law-Loving Jihadists.
