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."
This is something I’ve always thought of I couldn’t understand how people are labelling immigrants, who’ve fled from terrorism, the same label as their enemies. It’s sad.
Im watching this in 2024 after just discovering this channel. Just amazing storytelling and cinematography. The thing that makes these videos the best is the people. Love and kindness is what makes us human.
Same here. I spent an entire day binge watching this channel only, and forgot to eat lunch 😂. What an amazing channel with a great message. Also big shoutouts to the team behind the scenes. The production quality is top notch!
*As a Kurdish It was my dream to see Yes Theory in Kurdistan Region!* Thanks for coming to the place I was raised and born! And so happy to see my friend Baderkhan here!
@Jesus Gonzalez ....are u ok, its just christianity, christianity influenced European cultrue not the other way round, just like it influenced the assyrian ppl who live in this so called Kurdistan
“Every Muslims are not terrorist and every terrorist are not Muslims” 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 ❤️
@@mrlonely5324Eg: US Army... I don't think so there is a bigger terrorist organization. If you are talking about smaller groups then we have some in India ( Separatists )
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.
AAAAAAHHHHH!!!! PAAAAAIIIINNNN!!!!!! I broke my hand yesterday because of the hate comments I get on my amazing videos. I was so angry that I punched a hole in my computer. Please don't comment anything mean on my wonderful videos, dear cus
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.
Drew just bring these guys to Pakistan. You came here and you had a wonderful experience. Ask these guys to trek to K2 base camp or do whatever they want. But please please please bring them to Pakistan. By the way I love your content.
Baderkhan: "Some day, people will not call me a terrorist, they'll call me a tourist". That's an MLK speech-worthy line. Well said, Baderkhan. Thank you for this video. I've always wanted to see more of Iraq since my last, more 'unpleasant' visit. Well done!
Yea, we all recognize it when something is said that has deep history of emotion, struggle, and the wisdom born out of those underneath it. It's very interesting.
@@catapat4891 let’s just say I spent a year there in a capacity that was not as friendly as the one that Yes Theory experienced. That being said, it was one of the greatest experiences of my life.
What is the name of that oldest monastery? Can we visit that? Can we coordinate with the same friend you have ti bring us there in the monastery? Sorry for asking. - from Arctic Canada here.
@@lanquinosirach9502 there place is call shangal in Kurdistan from North of Iraq and all stories are right happen you can That is the guys m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=271271264355082&id=100044166319552
As a Big and old Yes Theory fan from northern Iraq ( Kurdistan), I never thought that one day I will be able to tell my story and the story of my people through Yes Theory's channel to the world. When I met Thomas, at that moment I believed in the power of the law of attraction, and the power of the Internet. Yes, Theory has shaped my life in many ways, and I don't know how thankful and grateful I'm for them. Thank you Yes Theory, Thank You Badirkhan for letting this happen, and thanks to all the other crew.
THERE IS NO COUNTRY IN THE WORD AS KURDISTAN..IT IS ILLEGAL NAME.. It would be more correct to call it Northern Iraq instead of Kurdistan. Since the Turkmen, who have owned that geography for 1000 years, are only seen as a minority, then the Kurds are also a minority. That is Northern Iraq.
@@ssoruyorum why are you so salty that kurdistan has some of the best history in the world? citadel is the oldest place in the world that has had people constantly living in there. kurdistan is recognized by more countries than your brain could comprehend. kurdistan WAS a country but was broken apart. of course you are too blind and deaf to believe that, it doesn't matter. what matters is that one day we'll get our country back and we'll lead a great life. we have our own flag, language, culture, people, and music. and most importantly, we have respect and love that we share with our own. you can cry all you want about kurdistan not existing, but i know you just feel threatened.
Baderkhan is the true example of someone who is patriotic. Instead of escaping from the situation the country is in, he wants to build and improve upon it until his last breath. This is what differs people like him from the people who think harming people other than their religion is what patriotism is. Mad respect!
“We people from the middle east suffer more from terrorism than anyone else in the world, so please don’t stereotype us.” Couldn’t say it better, Baderkhan is the best
“People will not call me a terrorist, but a tourist” . One of the best lines I have ever heard on RUclips. Baderkhan seems like an amazing guy. Well done Yes Theory, another amazing upload!
@@degoose2447 super wrong, i love our kurdish population in Turkey, they are awesome and very different from you. i blame you guys because when IRAQ collapsed you guys are like vulture, you dint support IRAQ which are your country! what a shame on you
"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 ✌️ 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
Mainstream media is very much on the left side of politics and are so easy to claim racism or any other type of bigotry, yet they deal in identity politics and segregation, which is incredibly bigoted. Identity politics stereotypes people of a certain culture, subculture, lifestyle, etc. People should not be defined by what they are but by who they are. Are there bad people in these cultures? Of course there are. But there are also good people. We should not be ignorant about cultures and ask people of different cultures about their culture. Not only are they happy to talk about their culture, but knowledge removes fear. Ignorance and the unknown is fear. Unfortunately, thanks to mainstream media, we are living in a pandemic of fear.
In Iraq, our religions differ, and there are also many nationalities. We love each other and live in peace. I love them all because they are my countrymen.
The historical times he is referencing, are not accurate, deliberately twisted, and misconstrued to fit his outlined agenda.Therefore I know what he is saying are significant spun up lies. This has been nothing more, then a propaganda video for him and the "Kurds".
@@rangkazzaz771 I have no affiliation, With Kurds, Arabs Muslims, or the MiddleEast other then it being my former Duty station. I'm just over the propaganda, Kurds have been looked after really well by the international community but are consistently double dealing in attempts to carve a country inside already existing sovereign nations, undermining stability of the region. @Rang Kazzaz get cultured & educated please.
"we suffer from terrorism more than anyone else so don't stereotype us as terrorists" what a perfect thing to say. Everyone needs to hear that, especially in North America. Baderkhan is an amazing man. Amazing video guys. Videos like this are so important in bringing everyone together.
“People will not call me a terrorist but call me a tourist”. You could feel the pain in his laugh and I could really relate because I’m too Iraqi and living in the US. I hope this video at least changes the perspective of some people. Very and always thankful for Yes Theory!
Hi Yousif, I just want to tell you Iraq is not synonymous with "terrorism and war" for a lot of people in the world. When 9/11 happened I was a little girl. I remember everything of that day and the years that followed. I remember the hate aimed at Arabs, Middle-Easterners and muslims totally uncalled for. I always felt so deeply sorry for the people of Iraq (and Afghanistan) who were victims twice: first of the regimes and then of the war and instability that followed. When I grew up and it came time to choose a university, I chose to study languages, literatures and cultures. One of the languages I chose was Arabic. I wanted to know more about the language and by default about the culture, the history and the people. I never had hate towards Arabs or Iraqi on the contrary I was super curious to know about Iraqis. Since the first images I saw of Baghdad I wanted to go there and visit the place. Now I'm almost done with my degree and I hope I will be able to go there. Sorry for the poem I wrote, lol it's a long winded response to your statement only to say that a lot of people are curious and benevolent towards you
These people were all such beautiful souls ❤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. 🙏
Badar khan's story really touched my heart because I have a similar story to him. I was born and raised in a city called Idlib in northern Syria, you might have heard about it on the news. I had to leave my school, friends and relatives behind at a young age, I was 9 years old. My mum took me and my 4 other siblings and we went to the Turkish border and we met with a guy that will help us smuggle into Turkey because we had Syrian passports but we couldn't get in. So the only way in was to go through fields and it was tough for my mum because she had to carry my younger siblings because they couldn't walk long distances. Then I remember when we got into Turkey, the Turkish people are the most hospitable and caring people you could ever meet, because I remember it was winter time and we had no place to go to or sleep so we just sat in a park and cuddled up to stay warm and we had no food. Then a Turkish man seen us from his house and came over and gave us food and water and we were so grateful for him. Then we went to Ankara airport and took a plane all the way to Manchester airport that is in the UK were we met up with our dad because we haven't seen him for over 4 years because he rarely used to cone home because he used to work in Greece and send the money to my mum back in Syria. And the way my dad came to the UK is way more difficult than the way we came in because he had to cross freezing cold rivers and damped fields at night so he wouldn't get caught then when he got to France he jumped into a loaded truck that had baby milk powder and that almost killed him because it was air seeled and he had little air to breath. But Allah didn't want him to die so when he crossed into the UK the police caught him and took him into the refuge hostel in the UK to have a place and make documents for us to fly from Turkey to Manchester. So when we got to Manchester it felt like it's a new chapter in my life because I knew that I can see my dad everyday and I'm able to live in a safe environment and go to school and complete my education. So when we met my dad in the airport I can still remember this like it's as bright as day light in my memory, I remember we were looking for him then when we recognised him we ran so fast and gave him the biggest hug and kisses then we got a national express bus the the city my dad was in. It's called Liverpool and that's when I went to school, I started in year 5 when I didn't even know a single word of English so wheb students used to speak to me I just nodded my head to them. But now obviously my English is 100% better than what it was 7/8 years ago😂😂. And the 2nd chapter or i should say tye 3rd chapter in our life was when we officially became free because on the 26th october 2019 we had a ceremony at the st georges catgerdial in Liverpool and wr got our British citizenship and that was a really happy time for me and my family because we felt free to travel to places were we couldn't go because we had no passports. All thanks to Allah because he is the one that planned this life for me. Alhamdulillah my family is safe and happy and I'm so grateful for everything that has happened in my life because my studies are going well and currently I'm in my first year of 6th form and I can't wait to see what my future holds for me. Because after 6th form I'm going to university to study Dentistry and hopefully become a dentist. I'm so sorry that this comment was sooo long but if you've read all of it please leave a like so I know that people actually read it. Even though it was a long comment I still have more to say but I'll leave it as it is and I want to thank you again for taking the time out of your day and reading this.

This Prison damn my dad got tortured in this person and when i show him the video he got a goosebumps and started crying! He said that some people stayed 4 days without food and some people used to break the bread down into small pieces so that pigeons come and eat then they hunt them and eat them alive. Im happy my dad is alive and sad for everyone who lose their fathers there.
That is crazy man, on behalf of myself and the others who saw this comment, it is an absolute honor to see you here. I respect you so, so much after seeing the reality and truth of Iraq, such difficult things you people go through yet you still find ways to enjoy life. That is something I’d give my life to do. We all love and appreciate you, I hope you are ok, your family and friends too. No one should have to go through such an experience as that and to know you still come out on top is remarkable, honorable, impressive, and amazing. Love you and your dad so, so much man. Best of luck to all of you ❤️💞
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.❤️ BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER & ALWAYS TRY YOUR BEST TO BE POSITIVE NO MATTER WHAT & REMEMBER LOVE & PEACE CONQUER ALL. 🥺❤️🎀 THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! YOU HAVE A NEW SUBSCRIBER.❤️🎀
I full on broke down crying when the guide said all Iraq needs is love. This and your Afghanistan video have given me a fully new perspective on these countries and how welcoming everyone really is.
I thought I was overwhelmed with feelings, but you're so right.. It's a beautiful thing these guys are doing.. restoring my faith in are fellow Man and Woman.. Because he's right it's up to us the real and normal people of this world and not the politicians who lie, kill,deceive, and divide us .. no more , ignorance is a choice.. I choose Love
As a Westerner, I feel that we have a very brainwashed perspective of the middle east (particularly in the US and Canadian media). It's tragic. Thank you for sharing your experiences, to help dispel misinformation about how kind-hearted and peaceful most of the people here are.
From my opinion most of the "normal" peaope who dont have power,money... are good and welcoming no mether wich religion are they or where are from. I belive in that from bottom of my heart. This is bad time for all human population we need more love and care and world would be a better place. But politicans as he said in video try to separate peope on religion or national side so they easy control. Is so sad to see what middle East been trought, we had a war 20 years ago and war is so stupid thing in human kind.
as an Iraqi Christian, this makes me so incredibly happy to see. I was born in Iraq and moved out when i was 4. I wish to go back and visit my home land some day.
Same as me, I was born in Iraq and moved when I was 1 and a half years old. People make it seem as Iraq is a bad country but, I know deep down that it is so beautiful
Im an iraqi ( from mosul ) and this is great and weird at the same time watching my favorite RUclipsrs visit my own city , I myself as a 16 year old girl who lived through the war and loads more from my grandpa getting kidnapped and tortured to loosing everything we owned i still love my country and so happy to see this, i wish one day to write a book about my story my country to let everyone know how strong and beautiful this country is and its people.

I just love how hard they keep on trying to keep us believing in those lies, it will be all in vein, videos like these share the knowledge, shows the good in humanity! We moving towards a better world together
@@somethung8188 I always find that fascinating. Because here in the US everyone blindly follows CNN and or Fox News. They are both problem causers and instead of fighting with love most people only saw hate on all sides lol.

@@kurdwaarKurdistan in northern Iraq. What is this? Do you want to divide the state of Iraq? Kurdistan is an Iraqi region and is also located in the north of Iraq. This is annoying. I live in the Kurdistan region. It bothers me when you say Kurdistan, say Iraq.

@@Pokemoncloverunite With all due respect,they’re all based off of Judaism anyway so it’s kind of sad that Christianity refers to these other religions as enemies.
This documentary should be on a bigger platform, like Netflix or something. More people need to see this. The filming, the way they show the culture. It’s beautiful. ❤️
No will make a documentary based on lies, Disappointed in Yes Theory for not fact checking before publishing some guy who drives them around North Iraq spinning up factless lies to fit his personal narrative and manipulation.

“They will stop calling me a terrorist, and start calling me a tourist.” What an inspirational guy. You can see that he’s passionate for change in his country. He knows the hate that the country is getting and is actively WANTING to change it for the future of Iraq.
This kurdish Guy… Some people can simply smile and be 100% honest with you using their eyes only. He‘s got that wibe! What a Gentleman! It probably won‘t reach him - but best wishes from Germany
Honestly, videos like these are so progressive for the general westerns society view on the middle east, it is people like these who are changing the world for the better. one experience at a time. thankyou guys x
Badarkan is a truly enlightened individual and needs to go on a world speaking tour. If he and people like him could tell the world such a simple message like people are not terrorists and just simply need love then I think the world could heal itself in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for this video and please keep up the good work, you too are helping to heal this planet.

What a pleasure it was to host Yes theory in my home 💙 The video turned out even greater than I expected, thank you Thomas for coming to Erbil and using your voice to amplify love and empathy. Matt and Ammar I wish you were her as well hopefully one day we can host the whole Yes theory fam in my country.

Thank you for this video, my girlfriend is Kurd from Kurdistan , Will visit her family in Slemani in the summer. I would like to see Iraq as well. Best Wishes from Sweden!
I'm currently stationed in Erbil as U.S. military. Ever since I knew I was coming here I've been so curious about the culture here. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to see Kurdistan from the other side of the fence that I unfortunately otherwise wouldn't have had. The few Kurds that I've been lucky to interact with here are such happy, kind people. I hope to come back to visit someday without the uniform on and the duties and restrictions that come along with it. I'd love to truly experience the beautiful region, culture, and people of Kurdistan!
@@m7madidriss1991 when he didn't experience it doesn't mean they aren't !! he just met Kurds not the rest of Iraqis plus we Kurds are not Iraqi nor we do not want to be, we just forced to be a part of Iraq !!! but whatever I love Arabs and they very warm and kind people ....
@@chakibashi267 by the way, I didn't say that I belong to the Arabic nation. I love Kurds more than other people, plus my close friends are pure Kurds. I just wanted him to show the positive side of the whole Iraqi people. I don't have any objection if you get independence in a peaceful way. It's the right of every nation to decide its destiny. My personal wish is to remain united and live together in a strong and united country that reserves the rights of its citizens regardless of their identities.
The fact that im watching this for free Is crazy! The production on this and storytelling is next level and honestly better than a lot of documentary series on Netflix and other sites! Cant wait for more!
I really liked seeing Lexie's perspective too! It would be great if she - or any other girl - could be present in more videos. I've often felt that many of the typical "Yes Theory experiences" would be a lot different, if not dangerous, through the eyes of a girl (e.g. the hitch-hiking videos, alone in a city for 24h...), so it would be very encouraging to see a girl succeed in that too.
If Baderkahn opens up a tourism business I’m there. His laugh and his first hand knowledge of Iraq is saddening but beautiful as well. It’s beautiful to see someone who has gone through such a traumatic experience be genuinely happy and vivacious about life. His laugh alone is capable of warming hearts. Thank y’all for this video!
Baderkhan's attitude is infectious as hell. Instantly followed on IG. I'm ashamed to admit that in the past I felt prejudice against people from these countries. I will forever be ashamed of it but will never deny it. The word Terrorist is such a damning, intense word that should never be used to define a people but I fear I may have done so when I was younger, there's no excuse for that. Baderkhan you are a beautiful human being and I'm sorry. I'm now 31 years old, in a flood of tears watching this. Thank you Yes Theory
I actually got a little bit of tears reading this, Im an Iraqian, and people hate me for no reason.as he said we are the once being effected by this, every iraqy family have lost a family member. they fought the war against the terriost, and we won! :) you have a good day
This was so incredibly deep and profound. Truly beautiful. The trip. The people. The culture. The scenery. Wonderful. The whole world is rooting for the people of Iraq
@dragon warrior andddd? your point is sweetheart? do you think america isn’t full of homophobes? atleast ppl don’t get killed here for being african american.
@dragon warrior are you talking about Kurds or Arabs? because if it is about Kurds your the worst lier ever. I’ve been there twice (Kurdistan) and seen gay people walk around without any problems also there . Stop spreading lies you loser go there and you will see also there is almost no arranged marriages there either. If your talking about the Arabs I’m not sure I never went out of Kurdish territory but don’t spread lies and stop watching your corrupt media.
It's almost 2023, I have just recently found your channel, and while I am jealous that you get to experience these moments and I don't I also feel that you put out wonderful content (I LOVED your video on Syria). You absolutely deserve to have gotten to 10 million by now and wish you the best of luck on achieving that goal!
So I totally love his energy & I hope Iraq/Northern Iraq/ Kurdistan finds peace and harmony soon . As a Nigerian , I can totally relate to his passport issues, the instability , insecurity, terrorism , weird stares& names when traveling on a little scale & like him & most Kurds do ( I happen to have a Kurdish friend & he is such a delight ) we handle it all with laughter and happiness, so as not to dwell on the bad things . It takes its toll though. I just discovered this channel last month, like 4 days after my birthday & I have been hooked ( also showed my mum some videos on here & she totally loved them )& it’s good vibes & messages all through . Keep it up Yes Fam.
Kurdistan is peaceful and most of Iraq is safe and peaceful. The war ended in 2017. As you can see in this video the Kurdistan region is pretty developed
I just hope that war vanish from the earth and we all live together in harmony and work together to build a better future 😢 people can practice their very own religion, but working together to achieve what we all deserve together. I hope the world unite under one rule: peaceful ❤️
I swear none of the things I've seen on media are reality, most highly exaggerated good sides hidden. Kind of evil people that leads us blocks us from knowing such good people exist
Yeah but Kurdistan is also completely different from Iraq. Its people, culture, history, and even religion are totally different from that of Iraq (You know there are Kurdistanians who are blond-hair blue-eyed?). Kurdistan is not even supposed to be part of Iraq. Even when it was part of Iraq under Saddam Hussein, it was a self-autonomous region. And UN and the world, in order to appease Iraq just lumped Kurdistan together with Iraq. And when the world imposed sanctions on Iraq, it imposed sanctions on Kurdistan too bringing much misery to its people. It's just that its unfortunate geographic location of being completely surrounded by five countries on all sides, it has been always been a site of war, much to the chagrin of the people there. And the people of Kurdistan have fought very bravely and very hard against the oppression by Saddam Hussein who used chemical warfare, land mines, everything sinister possible to bring Kurdistan under its control. Glad to see Kurdistan is finally enjoying some economic prosperity.

As an Iraqi Canadian who visited Kurdistan 2 years ago watching this, I’m glad you guys showed the country in the light it deserves. Kurdistan is very safe. Baghdad not so much at the moment
While there was an attack in Baghdad in January. Keep in mind that it was the first attack in 3 years so it’s not common. Baghdad is pretty safe as a city. If anything Diyala or Kirkuk outskirts are the dangerous parts of Iraq. But Iraq will eventually fully develop and become a fully functional nation where Arabs, Kurds, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Yazidis, Turkmens, and Mandaeans can live together in peace.
@@tree3y763 only Arabs should be inhabiting Iraq. Kurds are Iranian as well as yazidis whom are also Kurds, they should go to their homeland Iran... Assyrians and Chaldeans are ancient Arabs, under a different label mostly because they follow Christianity and inhabited Iraq during a different empire period. The Mandaeans are Jews from Palestine specifically Nazareth, they migrated to southern Iraq and khuzestan region. And the Turkmens I have no problem with solely because they’ve integrated normally into the society and don’t hold an obscene claim to regions of Iraq like how the Kurds do. 😐

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."
This is something I’ve always thought of I couldn’t understand how people are labelling immigrants, who’ve fled from terrorism, the same label as their enemies. It’s sad.

WELCOME TO TRASHLAND
Im watching this in 2024 after just discovering this channel. Just amazing storytelling and cinematography. The thing that makes these videos the best is the people. Love and kindness is what makes us human.
I just had them come up in suggested streams last night. I'm thanking the algorithm gods for this. My old hippie heart is soaring!
Just started watching just about a week ago and I watched about 20 videos!
Same here. I spent an entire day binge watching this channel only, and forgot to eat lunch 😂. What an amazing channel with a great message. Also big shoutouts to the team behind the scenes. The production quality is top notch!
I'm with you. I found them a few weeks ago. I'm so inspired.
I started crying when he said "later on, people won't call me a terrorist, they will call me a tourist."
That statement made me cry too. It was crazy how he was laughing and talking about such sad and horrible things but making positivity about it.
Wth why do you cry with that? Seek help you two. It's not normal to cry that easily.
*As a Kurdish It was my dream to see Yes Theory in Kurdistan Region!*
Thanks for coming to the place I was raised and born! And so happy to see my friend Baderkhan here!

THERE IS NO COUNTRY IN THE WORD AS KURDISTAN..IT IS ILLEGAL NAME.. It would be more correct to call it Northern Iraq instead of Kurdistan. Since the Turkmen, who have owned that geography for 1000 years, are only seen as a minority, then the Kurds are also a minority. That is Northern Iraq.
@@ssoruyorum why are you so salty that kurdistan has some of the best history in the world? citadel is the oldest place in the world that has had people constantly living in there. kurdistan is recognized by more countries than your brain could comprehend. kurdistan WAS a country but was broken apart. of course you are too blind and deaf to believe that, it doesn't matter. what matters is that one day we'll get our country back and we'll lead a great life. we have our own flag, language, culture, people, and music. and most importantly, we have respect and love that we share with our own. you can cry all you want about kurdistan not existing, but i know you just feel threatened.
Baderkhan is the true example of someone who is patriotic. Instead of escaping from the situation the country is in, he wants to build and improve upon it until his last breath. This is what differs people like him from the people who think harming people other than their religion is what patriotism is. Mad respect!

"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 ✌️ 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
Mainstream media is very much on the left side of politics and are so easy to claim racism or any other type of bigotry, yet they deal in identity politics and segregation, which is incredibly bigoted. Identity politics stereotypes people of a certain culture, subculture, lifestyle, etc. People should not be defined by what they are but by who they are. Are there bad people in these cultures? Of course there are. But there are also good people. We should not be ignorant about cultures and ask people of different cultures about their culture. Not only are they happy to talk about their culture, but knowledge removes fear. Ignorance and the unknown is fear. Unfortunately, thanks to mainstream media, we are living in a pandemic of fear.
Jews do not pray to the same god.. They literally do not.
Beautiful message
In Iraq, our religions differ, and there are also many nationalities. We love each other and live in peace. I love them all because they are my countrymen.

@@redacted8678 amazing idea
As an American who has also visited the country, I can say that so many have the wrong idea. It was a beautiful place.
Hi Yousif, I just want to tell you Iraq is not synonymous with "terrorism and war" for a lot of people in the world. When 9/11 happened I was a little girl. I remember everything of that day and the years that followed. I remember the hate aimed at Arabs, Middle-Easterners and muslims totally uncalled for. I always felt so deeply sorry for the people of Iraq (and Afghanistan) who were victims twice: first of the regimes and then of the war and instability that followed.
When I grew up and it came time to choose a university, I chose to study languages, literatures and cultures. One of the languages I chose was Arabic. I wanted to know more about the language and by default about the culture, the history and the people. I never had hate towards Arabs or Iraqi on the contrary I was super curious to know about Iraqis. Since the first images I saw of Baghdad I wanted to go there and visit the place. Now I'm almost done with my degree and I hope I will be able to go there.
Sorry for the poem I wrote, lol it's a long winded response to your statement only to say that a lot of people are curious and benevolent towards you
Beautiful, beautiful content!

@@фарсяирак The people have to stop fighting. I don't know what else to say.
I needed Baderkhan’s laugh. His laugh has literally turned my day around.
Badar khan's story really touched my heart because I have a similar story to him. I was born and raised in a city called Idlib in northern Syria, you might have heard about it on the news. I had to leave my school, friends and relatives behind at a young age, I was 9 years old. My mum took me and my 4 other siblings and we went to the Turkish border and we met with a guy that will help us smuggle into Turkey because we had Syrian passports but we couldn't get in. So the only way in was to go through fields and it was tough for my mum because she had to carry my younger siblings because they couldn't walk long distances. Then I remember when we got into Turkey, the Turkish people are the most hospitable and caring people you could ever meet, because I remember it was winter time and we had no place to go to or sleep so we just sat in a park and cuddled up to stay warm and we had no food. Then a Turkish man seen us from his house and came over and gave us food and water and we were so grateful for him. Then we went to Ankara airport and took a plane all the way to Manchester airport that is in the UK were we met up with our dad because we haven't seen him for over 4 years because he rarely used to cone home because he used to work in Greece and send the money to my mum back in Syria. And the way my dad came to the UK is way more difficult than the way we came in because he had to cross freezing cold rivers and damped fields at night so he wouldn't get caught then when he got to France he jumped into a loaded truck that had baby milk powder and that almost killed him because it was air seeled and he had little air to breath. But Allah didn't want him to die so when he crossed into the UK the police caught him and took him into the refuge hostel in the UK to have a place and make documents for us to fly from Turkey to Manchester. So when we got to Manchester it felt like it's a new chapter in my life because I knew that I can see my dad everyday and I'm able to live in a safe environment and go to school and complete my education. So when we met my dad in the airport I can still remember this like it's as bright as day light in my memory, I remember we were looking for him then when we recognised him we ran so fast and gave him the biggest hug and kisses then we got a national express bus the the city my dad was in. It's called Liverpool and that's when I went to school, I started in year 5 when I didn't even know a single word of English so wheb students used to speak to me I just nodded my head to them. But now obviously my English is 100% better than what it was 7/8 years ago😂😂. And the 2nd chapter or i should say tye 3rd chapter in our life was when we officially became free because on the 26th october 2019 we had a ceremony at the st georges catgerdial in Liverpool and wr got our British citizenship and that was a really happy time for me and my family because we felt free to travel to places were we couldn't go because we had no passports. All thanks to Allah because he is the one that planned this life for me. Alhamdulillah my family is safe and happy and I'm so grateful for everything that has happened in my life because my studies are going well and currently I'm in my first year of 6th form and I can't wait to see what my future holds for me. Because after 6th form I'm going to university to study Dentistry and hopefully become a dentist.

lies after lies and they eventually belive in their own lies....( once D.. k C said " we do not care about reality bcoz we can create it.")
They are female circumcisers 🤮
From my opinion most of the "normal" peaope who dont have power,money... are good and welcoming no mether wich religion are they or where are from. I belive in that from bottom of my heart. This is bad time for all human population we need more love and care and world would be a better place. But politicans as he said in video try to separate peope on religion or national side so they easy control. Is so sad to see what middle East been trought, we had a war 20 years ago and war is so stupid thing in human kind.

@@kurdwaarKurdistan in northern Iraq. What is this? Do you want to divide the state of Iraq? Kurdistan is an Iraqi region and is also located in the north of Iraq. This is annoying. I live in the Kurdistan region. It bothers me when you say Kurdistan, say Iraq.

This documentary should be on a bigger platform, like Netflix or something. More people need to see this. The filming, the way they show the culture. It’s beautiful. ❤️
Completely agree. Unfortunately statism is not just a north Korean thing.
No will make a documentary based on lies, Disappointed in Yes Theory for not fact checking before publishing some guy who drives them around North Iraq spinning up factless lies to fit his personal narrative and manipulation.
I am from Iraq and today I dream of emigrating and marrying from America and finding a job
THERE IS NO COUNTRY IN THE WORD AS KURDISTAN..IT IS ILLEGAL NAME.. It would be more correct to call it Northern Iraq instead of Kurdistan. Since the Turkmen, who have owned that geography for 1000 years, are only seen as a minority, then the Kurds are also a minority. That is Northern Iraq.
right thanks a lot
“They will stop calling me a terrorist, and start calling me a tourist.” What an inspirational guy. You can see that he’s passionate for change in his country. He knows the hate that the country is getting and is actively WANTING to change it for the future of Iraq.

"We might walk slow, but we will never stop" - Baderkhan
Absolutely beautifully said. This is one of my favourite things ever said.
ruclips.net/video/nnrH6sFz-64/видео.html
Badarkan is a truly enlightened individual and needs to go on a world speaking tour. If he and people like him could tell the world such a simple message like people are not terrorists and just simply need love then I think the world could heal itself in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for this video and please keep up the good work, you too are helping to heal this planet.

@@louisstaford2776 18:39
so it's time to simultaneously laugh and cry
WHY am I crying?!
Cyber hug, feel better!
Badar khan's story really touched my heart because I have a similar story to him. I was born and raised in a city called Idlib in northern Syria, you might have heard about it on the news. I had to leave my school, friends and relatives behind at a young age, I was 9 years old. My mum took me and my 4 other siblings and we went to the Turkish border and we met with a guy that will help us smuggle into Turkey because we had Syrian passports but we couldn't get in. So the only way in was to go through fields and it was tough for my mum because she had to carry my younger siblings because they couldn't walk long distances. Then I remember when we got into Turkey, the Turkish people are the most hospitable and caring people you could ever meet, because I remember it was winter time and we had no place to go to or sleep so we just sat in a park and cuddled up to stay warm and we had no food. Then a Turkish man seen us from his house and came over and gave us food and water and we were so grateful for him. Then we went to Ankara airport and took a plane all the way to Manchester airport that is in the UK were we met up with our dad because we haven't seen him for over 4 years because he rarely used to cone home because he used to work in Greece and send the money to my mum back in Syria. And the way my dad came to the UK is way more difficult than the way we came in because he had to cross freezing cold rivers and damped fields at night so he wouldn't get caught then when he got to France he jumped into a loaded truck that had baby milk powder and that almost killed him because it was air seeled and he had little air to breath. But Allah didn't want him to die so when he crossed into the UK the police caught him and took him into the refuge hostel in the UK to have a place and make documents for us to fly from Turkey to Manchester. So when we got to Manchester it felt like it's a new chapter in my life because I knew that I can see my dad everyday and I'm able to live in a safe environment and go to school and complete my education. So when we met my dad in the airport I can still remember this like it's as bright as day light in my memory, I remember we were looking for him then when we recognised him we ran so fast and gave him the biggest hug and kisses then we got a national express bus the the city my dad was in. It's called Liverpool and that's when I went to school, I started in year 5 when I didn't even know a single word of English so wheb students used to speak to me I just nodded my head to them. But now obviously my English is 100% better than what it was 7/8 years ago😂😂. And the 2nd chapter or i should say tye 3rd chapter in our life was when we officially became free because on the 26th october 2019 we had a ceremony at the st georges catgerdial in Liverpool and wr got our British citizenship and that was a really happy time for me and my family because we felt free to travel to places were we couldn't go because we had no passports. All thanks to Allah because he is the one that planned this life for me. Alhamdulillah my family is safe and happy and I'm so grateful for everything that has happened in my life because my studies are going well and currently I'm in my first year of 6th form and I can't wait to see what my future holds for me. Because after 6th form I'm going to university to study Dentistry and hopefully become a dentist.
I'm so sorry that this comment was sooo long but if you've read all of it please leave a like so I know that people actually read it. Even though it was a long comment I still have more to say but I'll leave it as it is and I want to thank you again for taking the time out of your day and reading this.

I'm currently stationed in Erbil as U.S. military. Ever since I knew I was coming here I've been so curious about the culture here. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to see Kurdistan from the other side of the fence that I unfortunately otherwise wouldn't have had. The few Kurds that I've been lucky to interact with here are such happy, kind people.

The fact that im watching this for free Is crazy! The production on this and storytelling is next level and honestly better than a lot of documentary series on Netflix and other sites! Cant wait for more!
Nothing is free.
But I agree somehow to Tristan, all we need to do is to watch the Ads to help them and that's all.
@Daniel Chang yeah true but a five second ad I nothing really and therefore I consider it free as nothing is coming out my pockets!
That man has an unbelievable outlook on life, his positivity really is contagious. A wonderful film as usual, thanks for doing this.
I really liked seeing Lexie's perspective too! It would be great if she - or any other girl - could be present in more videos. I've often felt that many of the typical "Yes Theory experiences" would be a lot different, if not dangerous, through the eyes of a girl (e.g. the hitch-hiking videos, alone in a city for 24h...), so it would be very encouraging to see a girl succeed in that too.
This!
YESS yes theory please look at this!
Agreed!
This!
yes please !!!!
If Baderkahn opens up a tourism business I’m there. His laugh and his first hand knowledge of Iraq is saddening but beautiful as well. It’s beautiful to see someone who has gone through such a traumatic experience be genuinely happy and vivacious about life. His laugh alone is capable of warming hearts. Thank y’all for this video!
He did. I found him on IG. His amazing!
I agree 💯% he's a supper spreader of positivity.
Baderkhan's attitude is infectious as hell. Instantly followed on IG. I'm ashamed to admit that in the past I felt prejudice against people from these countries. I will forever be ashamed of it but will never deny it. The word Terrorist is such a damning, intense word that should never be used to define a people but I fear I may have done so when I was younger, there's no excuse for that. Baderkhan you are a beautiful human being and I'm sorry. I'm now 31 years old, in a flood of tears watching this.
Thank you Yes Theory

Baderkhans laugh and personality is so contagious. Can't help but smile when he starts laughing
So I totally love his energy & I hope Iraq/Northern Iraq/ Kurdistan finds peace and harmony soon . As a Nigerian , I can totally relate to his passport issues, the instability , insecurity, terrorism , weird stares& names when traveling on a little scale & like him & most Kurds do ( I happen to have a Kurdish friend & he is such a delight ) we handle it all with laughter and happiness, so as not to dwell on the bad things . It takes its toll though.
I just discovered this channel last month, like 4 days after my birthday & I have been hooked ( also showed my mum some videos on here & she totally loved them )& it’s good vibes & messages all through . Keep it up Yes Fam.
Kurdistan is peaceful and most of Iraq is safe and peaceful. The war ended in 2017. As you can see in this video the Kurdistan region is pretty developed
I just hope that war vanish from the earth and we all live together in harmony and work together to build a better future 😢 people can practice their very own religion, but working together to achieve what we all deserve together. I hope the world unite under one rule: peaceful ❤️

His a amazing person and his speech is eye opening!
Yeah but Kurdistan is also completely different from Iraq. Its people, culture, history, and even religion are totally different from that of Iraq (You know there are Kurdistanians who are blond-hair blue-eyed?). Kurdistan is not even supposed to be part of Iraq. Even when it was part of Iraq under Saddam Hussein, it was a self-autonomous region. And UN and the world, in order to appease Iraq just lumped Kurdistan together with Iraq. And when the world imposed sanctions on Iraq, it imposed sanctions on Kurdistan too bringing much misery to its people. It's just that its unfortunate geographic location of being completely surrounded by five countries on all sides, it has been always been a site of war, much to the chagrin of the people there. And the people of Kurdistan have fought very bravely and very hard against the oppression by Saddam Hussein who used chemical warfare, land mines, everything sinister possible to bring Kurdistan under its control. Glad to see Kurdistan is finally enjoying some economic prosperity.

While there was an attack in Baghdad in January. Keep in mind that it was the first attack in 3 years so it’s not common. Baghdad is pretty safe as a city.

The Mandaeans are Jews from Palestine specifically Nazareth, they migrated to southern Iraq and khuzestan region. And the Turkmens I have no problem with solely because they’ve integrated normally into the society and don’t hold an obscene claim to regions of Iraq like how the Kurds do. 😐
