ISIS and alike projects are being done by western intelligent services and their puppets in the reagin every year against humanity. One them is the so called Zionist states Israel. They have done all kinds of atrocities you can or can't imagine in front of the eyes of the world.

Hey Rukmini, 69k subs and 570k listens would seem pretty popular to me. How about doing some more podcasts? You're a great story teller so do that.
