Send Josh Fox to Hug ISIS': Hollywood Filmmaker Challenged to Back Up His Words
After Hollywood filmmaker Josh Fox said that we should fight ISIS with "love," he's being challenged to back up his words.
"Atrocity. Murder. Abomination. When will we learn that only love stops hate, and bombings only create more ISIS," Fox wrote in a tweet after U.S. forces dropped "the mother of all bombs" on an ISIS tunnel complex in Afghanistan
"Love your enemy. Don't create more of them. Teachers, diplomacy, culture and aid helps peace. Bombs don't," he added.
Now, a crowd-funding campaign is raising money to send Fox to Afghanistan to "hug it out" with ISIS.
The fundraiser, which was organized by filmmakers Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney, will pay for Fox's airfare to Afghanistan, two nights in a hotel and a dozen roses, "so Fox can show ISIS how much he really loves them."
"It's time for Josh Fox to put his hugging arms where his mouth is. Please help us raise $2,500 to send Fox to Afghanistan to hug it out with ISIS," the campaign website says.
It also says that if Fox proves to be a "hypocritical coward" and refuses to go, all the funds raised will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project.
As of Thursday morning, more than $2,770 has been raised.
