When I first arrived in the U.S. my first cultural impression was that of what I
had seen through my teachers. There were two words that defined this impression.
Humanity and Reality. There were many people from all sorts of backgrounds and as
I far as I could tell we were all being treated just as equal. In three years of
my Middle school, I could point to one incident that I found objectionable.
There
was an Asian student who was whispering with another Asian student. I cannot recall
the exact reaction of the teacher, but one sentence stuck in my head.“Just to let
you know I do not like yellow kids.” To me and the rest of us, this was one isolated
thing. Nobody made a fuss about it.
A friend of mine from Europe called me and told me that one of the Islamist opposition group to the clerical Regime in Iran have said that Islamic democracy is the only way to free Iran. Islamic democracy? Sir, if you are invited to someone’s home and want to smell good, go ahead and put on some sweet smelling cow dung. You want to smell good? Like I said put on sweet smelling cow dung.
How can cow dung be sweet smelling? Foul and disgusting odor is the essence of
the cow dung, if it was not the case, than it would not be called dung

With the continuation of the ancient Kurdish traditions such as the hundreds of types
of dances and styles of music, the colorful dresses, love between boys and girls,
we could say that these traditions were much stronger before Islam and that the Kurdish
people were much more progressive and rational before the occupation of Kurdistan
by Islam.
While most Religion Dispatches readers are familiar with the growing influence of Christian Zionists and their close relationship with Israel, few are probably aware of the penetration of American evangelicals into Northern Iraq.
Shortly after the invasion of Iraq, a number of fundamentalist Christian organizations
announced plans to participate in the future rebuilding effort. At the time, the
Rev. Franklin Graham indicated that his organization, Samaritan’s Purse, would lead
the way.
