U.S. Folk Musician to Win Islamic State Hearts and Minds—with Songs of Peace

A Middle East on fire, as the Islamic State burns and slashes its way toward its goal of a global Caliphate.

A confident president, who believes that armed terrorist fighters “on the backs of pickup trucks” do not represent an existential threat to America.

A divided field of GOP presidential candidates, who debate the best method to confront the threat. Airstrikes. Economic damage. “Boots on the ground.”

The world waits for an answer.

One man has found it.

Oregon folk singer James Twyman plans to travel to Syria next week to confront the mass-murdering terrorist group — with songs of peace.

The Portland native and self-described “Peace Troubadour” will perform a concert at a venue in ISIS-controlled territory in Syria on January 31, according to Fox News. Armed with nothing more than a guitar and a prayer, Twyman believes that focusing on positivity can held put an end to the devastating bloodshed.

“It’s going to be pretty powerful,” the singer told Fox. “When people come together and focus on something in a positive way… there’s scientific evidence that it can change things for the better.”

Twyman reportedly plans to depart for Israel on January 20. From there, he’ll cross over the country’s northern border with Syria, and meet with contacts who are helping to plan the peace concert. Twyman says that Christian, Islamic and Jewish leaders — and more than 2,500 Tibetan monks — will join with him as he sings song infused with the traditional prayers of each of the three religions.

The singer is also simultaneously organizing a worldwide prayer vigil, to be conducted on the day he performs in Syria.
