Victory dance: Kurds celebrate driving ISIS out of Kobane with synchronised jig

A video showing Kurdish fighters celebrating defeating ISIS in the Syrian town of Kobane has emerged online.

The clip shows a large group of young Kurdish fighters, both men and women, holding hands as they perform a traditional dance and cheer following their victory over the militants.

The joyful celebration follows members of the Islamic State officially admitting defeat on Saturday, but promising to strike again.

Of course such a dance was not only for joy but also intended as a public backhanding of the Islamic State’s gender apartheid and banning of dancing as well. It’s a fine example of how to tell off tyrants without being seen as angry or bloodthirsty.

In other news, Bryan Fischer demanded the US end military aid to the Kurds on the grounds that “dancing leads to unmarried sex, and unmarried sex leads to socialism!”

/kidding about that last, but not by much.
