Not until midnight, did it occur to me to check the news on the internet. It was a long day of reading, studying and preparing for next week’s classes. I talked to my parents and sister and they were all fine, which made my day and let me study at least with my mind at its peace leaving reading all the every-day-bad news aside.
An interesting headline came right before Bush’s “surprise” visit to the country came across my eyes, “
“In a statement posted on an Islamic Web site, the Islamic State of Iraq, made up of eight insurgent groups, including al-Qaida in Iraq, said its leader Abu Omar al-Baghdadi chose Mohammed Khalil al-Badria for the education position.” AP
Education! What education? I am sure they mean the education of slaughter. The education of kidnapping the innocent people and beheading them in the streets claiming that God told them to do so. Or maybe the education of carrying their guns and storming civilians’ houses, spraying their bodies with lots of bullets. Or is it the education of blowing up bridges and burning universities? Maybe!
“Al-Baghdadi tasked al-Badria with "protecting our sons against moral and ideological deviation and raising a new generation of sons of Islam based on true Islamic teachings and away from the filth of secular tenets."” AP
Protecting? Protecting whom? He means protecting them from the civilized world. Maybe he meant “protecting our sons” from real education of the modern society the country enjoyed earlier! Or maybe he meant “protecting” them from studying with woman in colleges like how it should be and how it used to be?
Agh! They just make me want to vomit. Education! Huh! What a joke! What do they know of education other than murder? I wonder in which mosque they are going to hold their “classes”, and who the filthy bearded “teachers” will be? Oh! The text books might have been already printed in
