welcome, I'm from Bahrain, I'm glad there is another Arab atheist here, that would give us much to talk about.

Also religious freedom went away before the war believe it or not our neighbors were Christians and allot of Sunnis and Shi'ites lived together and even in our government we had Sunni Muslims Shi'ite Muslims and Christians.... the most famous being Tariq Aziz. but know every thing changed we are all discriminated against and you get killed depending on what type of Muslim you are... our new "free" government to me is nothing more than a slave to Iran. now i don't really see a united future for the country and about our side actually Iraq defeating saddam was the easy part really most of the time you spent fighting insurgents and most of those insurgents are not even Iraqi! most alqaida fighters are usually from outside the country and most suicide bombers are from Saudi Arabia even though western Iraq in cities such as fallujah. but for the Shi'ites on the other case most fighters were Iraqi. both sides ruined us. but i still have much respect for the soldures they were fighting for their country and didn't know much RE: hello from an iraqi atheist.... rare lol

Paul or the ghetto lol we lived across the street from a bar and their were constant parties violence and vulgar language not to mention horrible people but know i am actually really fine and i love my freedoms i have i can actually go out in the streets and they would be clean they are not all sandy it isn't so hot and we have safe electricity here in Iraq our electricity is really dangerous to play with... i can express my self dread how i want to etc.... in Iraq if you dress black and black that can get you killed ... even though that's not my style and for the people in st. Paul people were a little on the bad side doing drugs and uneducated but now people are really friendly and we talk to our neighbors and they seem interested in my culture. i have encountered racism but nothing major. so if some one offers me a castle and millions of dollars in Iraq it still is not as good as life here. be lucky you live in the west!
