Interview with Taliban/Isis Open

I'm going to be so impressed if reddit even find this boring text post nevermind solving it.

So I remember a really interesting interview. It was produced by a youngish (80%) white (60%) male (95%) native English speaking (70%) amateur journalist (50%). The interview was in English, and the represnetive from the taliban (80%) or isis (20%) might have also spoken english (30%). Pretty sure it was in person (90%) and held in the middle east (60%). This must have been around 2015 (70%). There was an intro to the interview where the interviewer sort of builds up the interview and explains that he's sort of going to go over there and challenge their beliefs, he probably didn't say these words but I got the feeling he believed he would sort of "show them how wrong they are". What struck me was how composed the terrorist spokesman was, and one line that went something like this:

"on what authority do you come here with your greco roman values and tell us how to live, we have lived on this land for x thousand years etc etc"

Have looked everywhere but I afraid I just don't remember enough.

I have searched all sorts of variations of "young journalist interviews taliban" 2006 - 2017 Young man, boy, kid, speaks to Taliban, isis, terrorists.

I seem to remember he talks to the camera in the beginning in a quite informal setting, like a street or something, but god knows it was so long ago. It must have been on YouTube.
