I am taking a college course in the history of Islamic civilization. It is astonishing what a complicated and rich topic this is. You can't begin to grasp it all even with years of study. This is a thousand year old civilization with enduring trends that were modulated but not defeated by the advent of Islam. dma..that is wonderful... i am becoming more in awe of the birth of a free iraq as i read the writings of alaa, as one of the responders said, his words are eloquent, a garden of flowers, how can anyone read this and not believe that this is a beautiful civilization , one that has suffered under despotic oppression for generations. and i completely agree with you. it IS a noble effort and one worthy of our time and treasure and most certainly worthy of those who have fallen in the pursuit of freedom. think about and ask god bless our italian allies Greetings, So now it is the turn of the gentle Italians. This particular contingent is one of the most loved and kindest on the ground. They treat the people so kindly. They are doing a lot to help the local people. Everybody in Nassiryah will tell you this. And this town has been so peaceful. And it is this that drives the Misguided Demented mad. Targeting this particular target is not just another operation. It is premeditated and pregnant with meaning. They are infiltrating to the South to try to beak the tranquility and peace there. Every single attack or sabotage south of Baghdad is infiltration from other areas. The kind gentle folks of the south would never ever perpetrate such atrocity. Nor do I think any Iraqi, had any part in this. Suicide attacks are the hallmark of foreigners infiltrating into the country, to do Jihad at the expense of our blood, future, and the safety of our children and ordinary folk. So now noble Roman blood is being shed on the ancient plains of Mesopotamia, as it had been more than two millenniums ago, near Ur, near Akad, near ancient Sumeria, near the birthplace of the great prophet Abraham ( PBU ), near the birthplace of western civilization. And again what can we say to the Italian people, these gentle, cultured, cosmopolitan, kind people whom I have known and visited several times; Only the banal words of condolence to families, friends and entire nation. Iraqis: Noble blood of the best of humanity is being shed in your cause, and one day, one day when the new enlightened civilization of Mesopotamia is reborn again, you will erect statues of Gold in you hearts and your boulevards for those now fallen. We weep again. Salam Alaa messopotamian.blogspot.com
