Kurdish Oath

I can't vouch for the authenticity of this, but it seems pretty cool. I found it on a comment on a Yahoo News Article:

For general interest I copied down the oath given to a new group of fighters with the PKK. The Kurdish YPG fighting in Kobane are a different organization and their oath may be different, but it is actually many of the same people. (Administered to a group of new fighters Each line was spoken by the leader and repeated by the group. They have one hand over their heart and the other hand on the flag) I will fight without doubt against the spirit of slavery. Against domination, oppression, cruelty of the patriarchal system. I will join the ideological revolution thanks to the strength of my ethics and morals. I will rediscover the purity of the Stone Age in the hope of obtaining freedom. I will respond with honesty. goodness, discipline, conviction determination and with courage. Such is the nature of my oath to President Apo, to KADEK to PJA to the resistance in the mountains and in prisons, to our heroic martyrs, to our people and to humanity. I swear. I swear. I swear
