internet speed friday march 17 2006 the last three weeks nbsp well what can i say about the last three weeks i spent most of them at home stuck in the middle of all the holidays curfews and a few big battles that happened near us during the last three weeks i only went to the university three times and they were all last week however on the next week i do not think that i will be attending any seminars too because next monday is a shia religious holiday next monday is the arba3enia for the murder of al hussien shias will be gathering at karbala for the occasion nbsp you know i really pray that this one goes peacefully because there will be quite a few million shias in karbala during the next three days so any terror attack might really do a great damage especially that it has been known that terror attacks always target areas where there are a lot of people nbsp when i went to college last time i was surprised how it doesn t get affected by all the political mayhem going around it i think that most of us are too busy with their materials and tests to actually bother with sunnis shias terrorists and americans the police actually discovered a bombed car in front of the university although they blocked the street and there was chaos outside but life inside the university when on like nothing happened and i only discovered about that car after i got home nbsp not more than an hour before i got a call from a bbc reporter asking for my opinion about the last three years considering that the anniversary of the beginning of the war is this weekend i really was surprised because i have never thought of it i never thought of remembering the day the war started and i won t note this post has been emailed to my email list subscribers posted by hassan 5 51 pm 143 comments wednesday february 22 2006 samara catastrophe i got up early today i was going to the university today i was very excited about it first time i go to the university for three weeks i do not like sitting in the house with nothing to do with my time as i expected it was mostly empty only for the second attempt students second attempt students filled the university i could tell them because they were studying and memorizing while the seminars had not started yet i did not stay there much me and my friend got back as soon as he finished his exams when the cab was close to our main street my cell phone started ringing i looked at the number calling me and it was a private number it only meant one thing someone was calling me from outside iraq hey i ll get down here if you don t mind i said to the driver when i got off i answered the call a female voice said hello obviously she was not iraqi or she would have said aloo she later introduced herself as a bbc reporter i have dealt with them a few times before especially after the period after the elections i had been getting calls from them for the past few months now so i was not surprised when she told me who she was she asked if i had heard the big news today i said no what happened yesterday a group of armed men dressed in iraqi police broke into a shrine in samara last night and bombed it this morning after they tied the guards now i was confused i know that the only shrine in samara is the shrine that hasan al askari and ali al hadi were buried however would anyone dare do such a thing the answer was yes the shrine has a gold covered dome which is more than 100 year old the dome is quite a landmark it is iraqi history we used to see it from far away when we traveled from baghdad to mosul as we pass by samara i consider it one of the main structures that define iraq i believe that the reason for such an attack is an attempt to stir up civil war between the shias and sunnis in addition of course al sadr is not helping at all his militias are already calling for revenge and raiding sunni mosques someone should tell him that sunnis condemned these attacks and that no one has claimed responsibility yet why should he presume it is sunnis does he not notice that he is falling into the plain trap laid in front of him the government has just announced tomorrow thursday to be an official holiday i will try to update this post as the situation changes note this post has been emailed to my email list subscribers posted by hassan 6 51 pm 37 comments sunday february 12 2006 the cartoon controversy i do not think there is a need to tell you the whole story most of you know it by now so let us get into it muslims has and will always be very sensitive in matters considering allah their holy book the quran and the prophet mohammad muslims consider it haram means forbidden in arabic to offend anyone of those three they will take it as a big insult when they are offended or made fun off the problem is they sometimes react in violence i have to say that when i heard about them i was afraid that this might explode the situation here in iraq the irony in this is that iraqis dealt with the problem peacefully with all the violence around me i have not heard of any violent action done in iraq because of these cartoons however most iraqis now including me are not having anything to do with denmark anymore iraq is officially not importing from denmark anymore anything with the labels made in denmark is being dropped out i have to note something here that even the most anti americans in iraq will buy american products but not danish products to show you how big an insult that is for muslims i have to say that i am proud of the way we handled this matter peacefully unlike some of the other arab countries here i want to say that i am 100 against the burning of denmark embassies and any violent action done to them i must point out here that muslims do not only cherish mohammed but all the other prophets as well we name a lot of our children after the arabic names of jesus which is 3esa and mosa for moses note this post has been emailed to my email list

baghdad feels good to be back at the keyboard however my internet service provider chose this time to have a major electricity failure looks like he is going to be offline for a while so i am a heavy guest on raghda for a while pff i have so many unread messages in my email not counting junks will write a longer post later note this post has been emailed to my email list subscribers posted by hassan 1 38 pm 9 comments friday january 06 2006 less posts for this month well what can i say my mid year exams are coming in two weeks so my studies are taking more and more time from me hassan kharrufa is a student before and after he is a blogger therefore it is understandable that i will be making fewer posts on the coming days once a week maybe anyway the big news in baghdad these days are kidnapping of the daughter or sister of the iraqi internal affairs minister bian sola3 the news are still vivid as it looks like they are trying to cover it but with all those checkpoints around the city it is obvious that something is wrong one of my friends did ask them about the reason of all this that is how i know the city is looking just like it looked a few days before the elections or maybe worse there is a checkpoint in every main street they reduce a 4 lane street to a single lane street search the cars and look at all the women in the cars looks like they are determined to find her so far the kidnappers have not attempted to contact the family i think however they know that she has been kidnapped because the driver was found shot most people say that the woman has been kidnapped as an extreme protest to the current fuel prizes although i do not think that it is relevant i think that if it was political the kidnappers would have gone public with it they have not the result was that i missed a good part of a lecture i should have attended great timing with the mid year exams knocking on the doors note this post has been emailed to my email list subscribers posted by hassan 2 10 pm 22 comments sunday january 01 2006 happy new year iraq happy new year everybody happy new year iraq looking back at what iraq has seen in the last year iraq has witnessed two governments then voted for a third one the price of benzene went up from a really low 50 i d litter to a huge 250 i d litter and is supposed to go up until it reaches 750 i d litter i should start calculating how much benzene our car uses i feel sorry for taxi drivers now they are going to have to make their prices a lot higher and people are going to start looking for other ways to move around i myself i am starting to figure out other ways of going to college instead of relaying on them in days when our ride doesn t make it the second it was 12 am i could hear the sound of shooting in the far it was the usual shooting into the sky average iraqi style of celebrating but it got different the shots became faster just a few minutes ago signalling that the day did not have a peaceful start the day was not peaceful at all folks twelve car bombs in one day that is too high even for iraq but i have to admit that we found ways to keep ourselves happy we watched a movie all of us then we had a nice family dinner and finally we exchanged tons of sms messages and new year cards so you see iraqis have fun despite all the disasters happening around them note this post has been emailed to my email list subscribers posted by hassan 8 00 pm 73 comments monday december 26 2005 elections aftermath so far the independent electoral commission of iraq has not announced the final results of the elections but the big success that the 555 list an all shia list has achieved so far is creating doubts of the commission s integrity especially in baghdad accusations and even threats are flying around right now just a few days ago sunnis organized a massive demonstrations in a few provinces some of my friends participated in the baghdad demonstration they say that hundreds of thousands were there and from the pictures i have seen of it i think they are right they are demanding that the elections are to be repeated in the provinces that has seen some of these very un expected results the un verified results can be found at the commission s official site just a few days after the elections the government decided to partially stop supporting the prices of oil so the prices of benzene gasoline and gas has went up 300 tripled this has left the iraqi street in anger so far i have not seen a single iraqi who had liked this decision although the price of oil was very low in iraq cheapest than water to be frank but the average iraqi has been used to this prices from the eighties so the sudden rise in prices has left him raged some of the southern militia controlled provinces has even refused to implicate these prices but i don t think they are going to last much because the only big refineries capable of handling such massive amounts of oil are only found in baghdad and beji note this post has been emailed to my email list subscribers posted by hassan 6 02 pm 44 comments
