Harbored Actualities
Hello all
I want to be honest with you , I decided to stop writing ,I thought it's worthless ,and as it wasn't easy for me to have time ,or power in the proper time ,I thought no one will even notice if I stopped , but I received some letters recently that made me consider my decision for awhile , at least till I say what I want to say about the latest events and the escalation of violence in my country ..
Let me start from what happened in Samara.
Samara for me is one of the famous ancient edifices, which is too cherishable to all Iraqis... no one sees it's golden dome and forgets it's beauty ,it's not just hallowed to some Iraqis but also beloved ,I am describing it's dearness to make you imagine how devil is the faction that dared to blew it…
Then the media started to show that the Sunnis blew the Shiite's shrine, they forgot to mention that this shrine lies in what they call them Sunni's land from more than thousand year… and then the subversion started to expand, about 200 mosques in Baghdad alone were attacked savagely by brutes wearing the black , many innocent elders and young men died and thrown in the streets ,others were taken away and not found, my mom described the situation for me , three mosques in their neighborhood were either burned or exploded , while their inmates, like al- imam or sentry, were murdered without mercy ,those MURDERERS did not come after midnight or came swiftly , they came in the midday ,and stayed in the neighborhoods for hours and burned every mosque more than once , they prowled for hours and No police or national guards stopped them . to give you an example there is a mosque just in front of the oil, transportation &irrigation ministries , that mosque was burned three times in one day , three men were killed ,many young men live in that street were beaten and then taken away and the huge NO. Escorts of these ministries did not do any thing to stop them, they were very dominator, just like if they were having an official errand, and that what I believe ….
No Muslim" Sunni or Shiite" can do that, only assassins dare to , they conducted like Al- Tatar….
May Allah bless Iraq and it's martyrs…
Ps: those two vocabularies (which I dislike) "Sunni, and, Shiite" are too strange and in fact intruders to us since the war..

Mama,
You don't have to write all the time, only when you fell like it.
Whoever blew up the shrine didn't destroy the shrine, they destroyed themselves.
Respect for the work and of those devout people - Those who built the shrine, maintained it, guarded it and worshipped in it - cannot be destroyed. This shrine, or a new shrine should be built and rebuilt everytime the barbarians try to bring it down and the people will become more devout, proud and patriotic because they would have had a hand in rebuilding it.
Mama, I for one would like to see you keep writing. I know I go for days at a time sometimes before I write. The timing isn't always good.
What a beautiful shrine it was. I can't understand why it was destroyed. I too, hope it will be rebuilt soon for you.
Please stay safe.

Mama please don't stop writing. Like the comments above, I check for your posts almost every day. I am so sad because I don't know how to be of help to you and all the good Iraqi people who are our brothers and sisters. I do pray to our God often and ask him to protect you all.
I cannot understand how people can murder innocent people for no reason.
Please understand that we do love you and hope and pray for your safety.
I also love Sunshine and Rose.
Mama, It is good to hear from you, was worried and still am. I would not say that i enjoy reading all your posts, not with some of the pain and hurt they contain - but I read them to hear more of what is going on in your's and your families life. I try to hear from you things I might not hear in the news. The news has almost nothing about regular people and what is happening, just short news clips. I do get hope from yours, Sunshines,and other posts I read. I hope you do not stop writing. Dont feel like you must do it often -but let us know that you are ok. I feel like you are a distant relative that I have not seen for a long time, just read letters from them and their family. I pray for the safety of your family. I do not know how people can destroy things of worship as they have, do they not beleive in God? Be strong, stay safe..It is in people like you that I have hope for the Iraqi people.
welcome back. write when you feel like it. I check you every day. The news from Iraq is shattering. It is only by having contact with ordinary iraqis that we can get any idea of what its like.
take care

Mama you see you can never stop writing now. It is infectious as is your emotion and the fire in your belly.
Use the support you have to make you write more, in the long run it can only be good for your family, your friend and your country.
You are writing history, because I will never rest until the history books include the stories from within the blogosphere. Even if I am writing these histories myself.
great post.
speak again soon
