Ecstatic Syrian civilians have been shaving off their beards, burning their burqas, smoking and dancing in the streets after being freed from Isis. The jubilant celebrations were seen in the Syrian city of Manbij on Friday, where militants have been driven out after months of fighting by US-backed rebel groups.
How can anybody possibly say that this is not a good thing and helping these folks experience liberation is a less worthy goal than pushing them into Europe where they will forever be stuck in ghettos, turning to burqas, beards and ISIS-like preachers out of anger and resentment?

I fly out of Bishkek to Kurdistan in less than a week to start work. I am very happy to see that the Peshmerga are systematically defeating Isis not only in Syria but now Iraq as they advance on Mosul.
