How truthful do you want me to be my friend?
I did answer the question somewhere in this forum. Baghdad was the centre of civilisation for centuries. Early 20th century 25% of the people lived in baghdad were jews, 20% maybe a bit more were Christains, the rest were muslims.
They lived in perfect harmony. No fingers pointed, and being a minority they worked damn hard to survive. They contributed to the way life endlessly, from business, to culture. Their music was brilliant, poetry, schooling and so on.
Came the 1948 war in palestine, and with it, the finger pointed at the jews. I got one thing to say, not every jew is an Israelie, but every Israelie is a jew. And I have a number of jewish friends who we share the same way of thinking. The jews began to escape the country, and now we have less the 40 jewish people in the whole country.
Then came the christains from the north into Baghdad, they built many industrial factories, from clothing, to heavy metal. But, instead of going forward, 1963 began the nationlisation of banks and businesses. The foreign banks became Iraqis, no investment into new industry, or anything else. My dad for example had to stop all expansion of his factory, and began to shut down shops.
Then Saddam came, the oil became our own, but instead of investing in repairs and upgrades, the idiot went to war, and built palaces, and buying yachts and so on. His sons were brought up on eating wild pigs, and go and pray in the mosque the following day. It was a regime built on putting fear into people.
If you keep slapping and hitting young men at the back of their heads, they grow up grow with their head down.
Religion has much to say, but said nothing, whatever religion, they afraid to modernise in case someone somewhere will say (Kafur). Religion our religions were for the people tens of centuries ago, we have developed, yet our religion hasn't.
We are lacking education, not few University degrees, but general education which we were starved of for many many years. Anyone can get a university degree, but how many have worldwide knowledge?
No one is blaming Islam, but ex-muslims. They are committing all sorts of crime in the name of Islam and God, and 95% of the people in the world realise that.
I hope that answers your question, and my fingers a sore now.
