PS:- Also remember, ZH/BT/PKKH never "released" the video. It was "leaked" and as in the video he asks not to release the video before then, when it was leaked ZH group went furious; six status updates within two hours and claimed that they had "released" the video to clear doubts once and for all. They have gained considerable moral ground by lying time and again.
Also: their three favorite words : "defeatist mentality", "tafkiris" and "fasdists/fasadis". Anybody who opposes war mongering and spreading intolerance becomes "defeatist mentality" because victory cannot be one where your people live in peace, have health care adn education available to them and have food on their table, victory can only be achieved by killing millions in order to hoist the green and white on top of the red fort.
