Ignore ISIL Propaganda, KOBANI Remains Strong & Motivated! #Kobani, #Kobane, #Rajava, #ISIL, #Syria

Defenders of Kobani are as strong and as motivated as ever. Ignore desperate ISIL propaganda by a hostage who's fighting for his life.

KOBANE IS NOT ALONE!

Email your US Legislators to help Kobane.

My thoughts and prayers are with Kobani, its defenders and residents!
