Doofus Of The Day #873

One might say this report achieves the very Nirvana of Doofidity.

An Oregon folk singer plans to leave next week to serenade the Islamic State, and he intends to bring the black-clad barbarians a prayerful message of peace — despite a warning from the State Department that his life could be in danger.

James Twyman, of Portland, Ore., told FoxNews.com he feels a “calling” and believes he can soften the hearts of the Islamist army known for beheading Westerners, throwing gays off buildings and summarily executing innocent women and children.

“It’s going to be pretty powerful,” Twyman said, referring to his plan to have those attending and others around the world sing and pray for peace at the same time. “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 said he will be joined by a large group of Jewish, Muslim and Christian leaders.

“Each one will lead the group in prayer from their religion,” he said. “It’s going to be pretty powerful.”

. . .

Twyman believes he must go, despite the dangers.

“I’m no sort of hero, but I do believe in the power of this.”

I expect Mr. Twyman will probably very shortly be too dead to realize that "the power of this" . . . isn't.
