Tony Stark delivers a real bionic arm for #TheCollectiveProject

Literally laughing at the face of danger: ridiculing ISIS
Four young Syrian refugees have decided they are refusing jihadists’ attempt at taking the fun things out of their lives. What do they do? Naturally, produce a series of videos poking fun at ISIS.
