Guys, Please, don’t fall into his web of deception and deceit. Just ignore his pathetic excuse for a being. All he is trying to do is divert our attention from our humane and worthy cause, by becoming a thorn under our feet, and an obstacle in our path. He is not the first and will not be the last, so many like him appeared out of no where, and vanished just as they appeared, he will face the same fate, once we all ignore his BS way of life.
yes i have seen it myself. It isn't the memory i want to take with me to the grave either, I remember when we used to party on Um Al-Kanazeer, eating masgoof, and dancing, having innocent fun with friends and relatives. I remember my university and the tens of boys and girls sneeking to al-habaniyah and have a party there. I remember Abu-Nawaas and walking by the river holding hands with the girlfriend and thinking I owned the world. I still remember how they tortured and killed my uncle, and they called it a mistake of identity, how they tortured my cousin and few others from our business, a mistake of identity. How they inbeded a rusty nail in his spine! 38 years ago, but i remember every detail. I remember well my two broken ribs, cigarette burns and i was only 14, and for what? A short story I wrote.
Calm. Thank you for sharing this. What a story you will have to tell in your book. Im sorry for what happened to your uncle and cousin. Im sorry for what you have this memory since 14 years of age. You experience 2 sides of iraq. The romantic and tragic. I will be the first one to buy your book but you must sign it for me pls.
I second that emotion. Calm, best of luck with the novel. When its released I'll buy 10 copies and insure all my contacts hear about it. How great is it to have a writer among us. Can't think of a better place to finish it than in the mountains of Crete.
Zorba dude. Here is something just for you. Enjoy the article!
Iraqi Novelists Making a Surge Iraqi Writers Hitting the English-Language Market With New Books, Translations
English-speaking Iraq-watchers seeking a good summer beach read should keep an eye on Amazon.com for a fresh crop of new novels and translations of old favorites from Iraqi writers. As Kaelen Wilson-Goldie reports for Lebanon's Daily Star:
That tired old adage about literature in the Arab world - Cairo writes, Beirut publishes and Baghdad reads - may carry more caustic bitterness than sweet nostalgia these days, especially among those who self-critically consider the region's cultural production to be at an all-time low. But a spate of newly published novels and first-time translations promises to give interested, English-language readers their fill of Iraqi fiction this summer. Ranging from philosophical treatise to magical realist tract, and racked throughout with humor, the writers behind these books suggest that while the country is falling apart, its literature is holding fast.
A few of the forthcoming titles cited in the article include I'jaam: An Iraqi Rhapsody by Sinan Antoon, a novel about a young student thrown into solitary confinement for ridiculing Saddam Hussein, and From Baghdad to Bedlam, a thinly-veiled memoir of author Maged Kadar's youth in Iraq and later life as an expat in London longing for home. Mohammed Khudayyir's Basrayatha: Portrait of a City, originally published in 1996, tells a tale of a fictional city based on Basra.
Khudayyir, one of the few Iraqi novelists who still live in the country, wrote in Baysratha of the importance of writers for civil society. "None of us can imagine a city without a storyteller or a storyteller without a rostrum," Khudayyir writes. "This city has no history until time clothes it with the cloak of events. You begin its history wherever you wish by pulling from its cloak a thread with which to weave an incident or narrative ... I cannot imagine in Basrayatha a storyteller without a rostrum or a citizen without a loom. The rostrum and the loom are the secret emblems of this city." One hopes that wherever Khudayyir is now, he has access to a good rostrum and loom.
thank you harry for making hatred at me and like that lion of babylon still thinks that i am iraqi, espacially there are many people in the world their name's are (sadiq), what he does not know that i was a christian american then i became a muslim and changes my name into arabic name because i am a muslim but that dumb crazy lion of babylon won't never listen just as stubbon as he is, he will still complain in silly things, and harry keep making hatred about me just like you always do.
Sadiq, you have brought this onto yourself. We have discussed this many times and you always revert to the same old Mantra. This being that we are all stupid and the Kurds all mountain people. What do you expect?

Good god zim and who gave you this idea? Sadiq means someone who tells the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and our friend here never ever told the truth. He got it wrong somewhere along the line, never mind he can't help it, his understanding is as bad as his writing.

It is kind of sickening to see the true extent of hypocrisy that the occupation has reached using any possible occasion to lash out disproportionately. I watched that report on different channels not only CBS, and my question to the outraged voices is, those are not the only orphans in Iraq, and the occupation has created thousands of other orphans that you don’t see or hear about, from the western news channels. Iraq is a country under a military occupation and the occupying powers have full responsibility to every thing that happens in that land

Yes and no. At some stage we have to acknowledge that acts of violence and treachery are being committed by Iraqis against their own. The sub humans that were running this orphanage where all Iraqi and funded by the MOH. We know the occupation has ruined our country but there has to be a point where we take responsibility for our own actions especially when they can be controlled by us. This orphanage being a case in point.

Very well put Azi. 99% of the violent acts against Iraqis are within. It is true that the occupier did not anticipate it; but that is no excuse for the murderous acts committed by Iraqis against Iraqis. What those savages do not understand is that the longer the violence continues the longer is the presence of the occupiers on our soil. Let's assume for a moment that the occupier is behind the insurgency, don’t we have enough sense to stop them on their tracks? Instead of using our resources to obliterate each other, shouldn’t we combine our efforts in ending the slaughter of our long loved neighbors and friends? Are we so mindless that we interpret the teaching of the holy Qur’an in such a manner that we become beasts instead of loving creatures?
