This week, I traveled to the beautiful country of Iraq. All my life I'd heard of the war in Iraq and how dangerous it was to visit, but I wanted to go there and explore if for myself to hear the stories that didn't make it into the media. So, along with Drew Binsky, Lexie Alford and Cory Martin, we were taken around Iraqi Kurdistan by our amazing guide, Baderkhan.

It hurt my heart when he said, "People of the middle east, we suffer from terrorism more than anyone else in the world, so don't stereotype us as terrorists."
-
"One day people will not call me a terrorist, but call me a tourist" wow, that's an emotional statement to process.
-
âEvery Muslims are not terrorist and every terrorist are not Muslimsâ What a story and documentary man! I hope every people should see this video and change their mindset about Muslim countries and people. Being a person from South Asia, I loved the way Iraqi people are and their tradition and culture. Beautiful content with beautiful story! Heaps of love â¤ď¸
-
The message at the end realy moved me (34:19). "We are different from outside but similar from inside". I wish more people come to realizing it! Huge thanks from Ukraine.
-
â...later people wonât call me a terrorist, but a tourist!â What a charming and upbeat man, we need more people like him in this world.
-
I started crying when he said "later on, people won't call me a terrorist, they will call me a tourist."
-
"it doesn't matter whether you are Yazeedi, Muslim, or Jewish we all pray to the same God" He was saying this while the three of them had their arms on each other's shoulders pretty much hugging each other...i love seeing things like this that was so wholesome I love to see people from different parts of the world from different cultures showing respect and love to each other that's what it's all about âď¸ mainstream media forces people to think that we're all so different and that we cannot mingle with each other and that of we do we won't get along and that it will be awkward but in reality we're all so similar and can enjoy and respect each other's company and cultures and can even be brothers and sisters
-
He is such a beautiful soul, what a world we would have if more people had the same outlook on life as he does. So much love for his countryâ¤ď¸â¤ď¸
-
"People will not call me a terrorist, they will call me a tourist"- what a fuckin legend!
-
âOne day they will not call me a terrorist, they will call me a touristâ- What an incredible story. Thank you for showing this to the world!
-
It was quite emotional for me watching this video.....I wish people could be more concerned of these people rather than stereotyping them
-
I have been in Mesopotamia and I am really in love with place and people there ! Wish Peace in Kurdistan ! â¤ď¸đđ
-
Seeing Yes Theory at 10 million would be insane, I just remember back to the time of sneaking into places with high visibility jackets and clipboards aha.
-
âWe people from the middle east suffer more from terrorism than anyone else in the world, so please donât stereotype us.â Couldnât say it better, Baderkhan is the best
-
These people were all such beautiful souls â¤This video brought me tears. The fact that they are still so optimistic despite their situation, has changed my outlook on life. Sending the people of Iraq all my love, health, happiness, and peace. đ

I HAVE NEVER LEFT MY COUNTRY EVER & ONLY BEEN TO VERY FEW STATES. THIS VIDEO MADE ME CRY SO MUCH TO SEE THE BEAUTY IN THIS COUNTRY & TO SEE HIM SAY ALL IT NEEDED WAS LOVE.𼺠IF ONLY PEOPLE COULD SEE THE BEAUTY IN EVERYTHING INSTEAD OF BEING HATEFUL TOWARDS OTHERS JUST BECAUSE THEY DON'T LIVE UP TO THEIR STANDARDS OR JUST BECAUSE ALL THEY HAVE SHOWN US WAS THAT IT WAS NOTHING BUT WAR ZONE & TO STAY AWAY. IT IS EXACTLY VIDEOS LIKE THIS THAT HAVE ALSO CONVINCED ME TO MOVE TO ERBIL, IRAQ THIS FRIDAY OCTOBER 28TH, 2022. MAY GOD PROTECT US ALL NO MATTER WHERE IN THE WORLD WE ARE.â¤ď¸ BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER & ALWAYS TRY YOUR BEST TO BE POSITIVE NO MATTER WHAT & REMEMBER LOVE & PEACE CONQUER ALL. đĽşâ¤ď¸đ THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! YOU HAVE A NEW SUBSCRIBER.â¤ď¸đ
