hello from an iraqi atheist.... rare lol

[Reforged]

Wow, ok. Rarity doesn't quite cover it. Glad to have you.
Ok well I'm sure you must get this alot but from your perspective, having been born and raised in Iraq and presumably having witnessed the events that took place there... do you have any information you could share? Anything you witnessed that might give us a deeper insight into what actually happened?
I've looked into the military classified files that got leaked, seen the statistics and seen the most horrific pictures and videos that showed extreme misconduct on both sides but what I haven't done is talked to someone who actually bared witness to some of what took place from the perspective of an Iraq citizen.

If you have anything you would feel comfortable sharing, I'd like to get your perspective on it. I'd also like your experience as an Atheist living in Iraq and as someone from Iraq living in America, unbiased and unfettered.
If you don't feel comfortable with sharing any of those things that is fine but otherwise;
Please, tell me your story.

well about the war..... it is true allot of the soldures are just horrible people women got raped and all sorts of horrible things... most of the people that were labeled as terrorists were just normal people like you and me who didn't want to leave their home and got shot for that like in fallujah. 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.
and on the other story when i was a child i always was thinking about religion and at one point i hate full hate towards Jews. things changed and i started looking into things when i came to the USA i looked into Buddhism, Christianity and all the major religions except Hinduism. after that i saw many flaws in the quran and started to realize that the quran the hadiths and the prophet were not the things i thought they were. i would say more but i think you get the point lol... maby sometime ill open up a YouTube channel telling people my story
pleases excuse my english and thank you for welcoming me

Thank you, your English was fine.
I figured as much. Seems like it was just another war tailor made to profit the US after all.
Like I've said before; Saddam needed to be taken down but not with the methods used and not for the reasons he was.
Saddam should of been taken down for what he was doing to his own people. Not for the oil in his possession.
As for the methods... well you already know about them, I'm sorry.

If you don't consider it too personal could you tell us your experience of the US? Don't worry, you don't need to be flattering. Theres no rednecks here as far as I know, plus I've never even been the US.
