Ibrahim you make kurdish food, not fake-bombs, you get deported, not invited to the whitehouse!

Back in April I was driving with my mom through Michigan, my rental car had a mechanical problem and I stopped by to call Enterprise, and they forwarded me to some address to get a replacement car.

while I was driving without knowing where I am in Michigan, I saw a little sign that said Cafe Gulistan ! ...I was like wait a minute, Gulistan means Rosary in Kurdish...  I stopped by.I found a beautiful cafe covered with colorful flowers... and I almost burst into cry when I saw a beautiful Kurdistan flag

I found out his name is Ibrahim he was on the news in 1991, when he was tortured by Turkey and he got asylum in America. many years has passed now he has formed a family here and found peace in America. and a 4.5 star restaurant on Yelp.  my mom was super excited about the flowers and the small spring around the restaurant.

So I posted on Facebook how excited I was to see a Kurdish restaurant/bar for first time in USA, and I got another big surprise !!!! I had already met Ibrahims family during a protest against ISIS in Chicago. one of them is a photographer who took photos of our protest against ISIS in Michigan avenue (Chicago) and later infront of NBC channel and Turkish consulate. What a small world ...

Today I saw in facebook a shocking shocking news.... Ibrahim is being deported back to Turkey, the country which has started a big crack down on civilian kurdish people.

I felt so sad for America. I was wondering what if Ibrahim was an Arab Muslim who owned a Mosque and instead of a Kurdish Restaurant/Bar and instead of having a progressive family, he had a family covered in Burqa and Beard and someone wanted to shut down his Mosque and deport him back....now he would be in the news ...now Obama would invite him to the white house....
now the left media would be using his case to make a politically correct case.

Basically the media is saying:
Ibrahim you are not Mohammad ! You run a cute restaurant/bar not a mosque. you make delicious Kurdish food not fake-bomb-looking clocks. you get deported to where they torture you, not invited to white house.

I remember very well our protest in Chicago against ISIS (the one Ibrahim's family photographed) , was in front of NBC Headquarters, we heard ZERO coverage in NBC about our protest against ISIS. you know what was on NBC coverage instead ?...Guesss...it was something about Israel treating Palestinians badly. Obviously Kobani being slaughtered by ISIS and our protest right outside NBC HQ had no news value.

but I have to take this bitter fact again and again, we are Kurds, no matter how much we share values with Americans and with western civilizations, no matter how much we fight the darkest ideologies of middle east we are not gonna be heard by the main stream media. we have Zero Politically Correct value for NBC, CNN, ...


Sign the petition here,
and check out more information on Facebook group for friends of Ibrahim

When I asked a liberal friend to sign the petition he told me, why don't you ask Trump?  that is a good question, I wonder what presidential candidates think about this ?  please if you can ask Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Trump, Hilary what they think about USA helping the biggest supporter of ISIS to suppress Kurds?
