A recent addition to the cadre of english speaking Iraqi bloggers is http://healingiraq.blogspot.com/.
| I added Zeyad to the blogroll a week or two ago. Also worthy of attention are Catfish 'n' Cod, who has been on top of Moqtada's recent doings, and Boots on the Ground, by an infantryman in Baghdad. |
This fellow uses obscene language some times but the fact that he is in a public profession and gets into official buildings gives his observations some importance.
| I think I'd call his language... ummm... "occasionally spicy." |
He is generally pro liberation, hopes for more Iraqi police asap and is anti Sharia
This is an excerpt of his musings:... As a dentist I have to endure the foulest breaths from fasters. I have to help fasters out of diabetic comas due to the normal stress during dental procedures. As a member of society I have to mumble ramadan mubarak and other stuff I don’t believe in to everyone. I have to pretend I’m fasting in front of people so as not to hurt their feelings. And I have to explain myself if I’m caught and go through the obligatory discussion about the benefits of fasting both spiritually and naturally. I have to smoke in stinky public toilets. I have to roam the whole city to find some ’illegal’ booze. It’s a month of hypocricy. Know why? Because the moment Ramadan is over, everyone stops acting pious and reverts to whatever despicable acts they used to do. But surely Allah wills it so, we unbelievers and kafirs should not question His wisdom. I hope you interpreted the last sentence as sarcasm because that’s how the writer intended it |
