O.k... Exactly what tactic is that? As for the napalm, I've no idea why they would use them if they're illegal. If that's true, then that makes America look like they think they're so powerful they can disregard the laws on warfare weapons. But by whose laws are they illegal?
Fine, whatever, I've been "fed lies". But even if I do have misinformation, you still didn't answer my question. Why did a bunch of Al Qaeda members hijack some planes and commit suicide trying to kill us?
What a sweet moment in this family's daily life. If this were an American family, the meal would probably be take-out, or a young man of that age would be self-absorbed as he said emphatically "oh my god, my mom is the best cook", and then turned his attention to something else.
It may be difficult for people who haven't grown up in a "traditional" household or society to understand.
yes i must agree that jews are very peaceful, thats why they have 65 UN sanctions against them, while palestine has virtually none, and their peaceful because their average citizen carries grenades, smgs, and knifes.
im not saying palestine has sanctions against it, im saying ISRAEL has 65 U.N sanctions against it, and that its land claims on Palestine are not recognized by any country in the world
well locke3820, it was arabian land that the jews raidedin 1940's Mister. and they are raiding more land taking wat is palestines'.U expect palestine to be 'peaceful' and hand them over like "Our pleasure Mr. Olmert,wud u like more."
it's not against the law you needle brain, there are thousands of sects and some might make crap up not for riligous but for POLIICAL reasons, how else can some criminal figures gain traction w/ people=through religous made up trivia, difference is when it happens there it gets blown up all over the world
The religious police are hypocrites! "forbiden salad?" THATS WAY TO FAR! no wonder they are called extremists! let everyone live as they wish, ONLY GOD JUDGES. i hope someone exposes these liars.
its sad to think that these people took a risk by eating a salad. as regarding SalamiSlim's comment...oh please...freedom or religion in the US? take any dollar bill in your hand and look at it closely?yep its from the same place where people say prayers in preschool and the most common saying is''god bless america''and every president invokes god some thousand times over their years of presidency, and also where the most radical stupid christians live(hint: the guys that deny evolution).
Yes, unfortunately in the early years of American history Christianity remained dominant, but that doesn't prevent you from exercising your own religion. How does a christian president thanking god diminish anyones freedom of religion? Compared to the Middle east, we have extraordinary religious tolerance. BTW, saying "God Bless America" is just an american tradition. Now we just do it because we've always done it (At least since we started printing paper money.)
Can't say I feel sorry for them. If they want peace, they'll stop blowing each other up and stop biting the hand that feeds them (U.S.). I hope the U.S. pulls out soon, and I hope they get a dictator that makes them pine for the days when the U.S. was there.
It's an expression. The U.S. is the only force in the country trying to bring stability, and cooperating with it, however illegal and unjustified the occupation may be, is their best chance for peace. They've cooperated with dictators before; I don't see why cooperating with the U.S. would be so much more reprehensible if such action brought peace.
Again, it's an expression. Let me try to explain it. Say I have a bunch of people out to kill me, so I hire a bodyguard. However, I make an off-color remark about the bodyguard's mother, and he decides to stop protecting me. I have just bit the hand that feeds me. Notice, he isn't actually feeding me anything, rather providing a service that is vital to my survival. It really isn't that hard. Neither is punctuation; in fact, it's fun!
the salad looks great! post us the recipe :-) it's interesting to hear about the demands of your extremists. we have our own extremists here, some who sit in the White House. Fortunately, none of them has tried to tell me how to mix a salad - yet!
Instead of praising America, why don't you simply have a little respect and sympathy for another person who is suffering in the world? Didn't your mothers raise you to have any compassion at all?
there radicals in every religion why do I have to explain to u retards, difference here is u hear about it every hour, some use riligon but it's all politics, tomorrow some one will say ur infidel if u say hi, so then all u retards will believe the riligon is bad,,,stupid retardos
they deserve it because they don't like israel the holly land which is more important than oil and maybe we will do the same to iran because they mess with israel that's why they are evil and radical, god bless usa
JD1060 you are a fool...you are a worthless liberal coward...we are there for a major reason...to help anyone who thinks different is a sheep....go fucken die
Wow.... people who oppose the war that was started by the government through lying and bending information to sway public opinion, and that is constantly being fought for different reasons that the administration comes up with that don't fit in with the whole reason we started it are sheep? People who don't listen to what the administration preaches are sheep? I'd love to hear you try to explain how thats logical.
I mean you can call us idiots or cowards and thats all well and good because you are blind to logic and therefore you will form ANYTHING to fit your preformed ideals, but sheep? Think about how IRONIC that statement is. Anyone who thinks DIFFERENT is a SHEEP. I really will "go fucken die" because my heads going to explode from confusion and laughter. I laugh to avoid crying about the fact that survival of the fittest is history. You are proof. =(
I think we should be there, but Bush is giving us all the wrong reasons. Firstly we need to be there to clean up the mess we've made, not to mention to catch the nutcases who're trying to bomb their own people. Secondly, we're their in response to 9/11. Why do you think they bombed us? Because these guys are so deeply believing in their precious Koran that they'll sacrifice themselves to get to heaven.
So if we were to just pack our bags and go, what's to prevent another 9/11? Seriously, do you know how many similar operations we've stopped since then? How many possible lives we've saved? How many potential attacks on America we've prevented? Oh, and not just against America, but in Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq of course, Pakistan, Israel, Jordan, and countless other Islamic countries.
See, Mohamed said that it was pre-determined whether or not you go to heaven, so no amount of belief and prayer could change that. The one, sure-fire way you can get to heaven is to die as a warrior fighting in a holy war against non-Muslims. That's not to say that we don't have Muslims in America, but we do have freedom of religion. Those radical Muslims HATE that. They want to unify the world under Islam and destroy any infidels who stand in their way.
you have absolutely no idea what your talking about. you think you can sum up the whole belief of Muslims and their sentiments towards America. but you don't even have information that is correct. please for the sake of others as stupid as you, educate yourself a little more thoroughly before you spit out false statements about islam.
And we can't just "make peace". They're fucking terrorists for god's sake! They can't and won't negotiate! They just want Islam to reign supreme! The younger Muslims aren't all for this cause per say, they just want to go to heaven. But Bush seemingly doesn't care as much about that as he does oil and "Weapons of Mass Destruction" which no one hears about anymore 'cause there weren't any to begin with.
How do you justify that mix salad is sacrilegious? Surely you can eat parts of the salad alone (you know, tamatos, lettuce and such) but it's wrong when it's put together? Good for you, keep that salad.
Are you considered to be the "upper crust" of Iraqi sociey? Cuz your Kithen is way bigger than mine and I live in the US. Every pic I see of Iraqi people on the news in no way looks like this. It looks way more third world. Im confused.
They have to be in the higher class, both parents are doctors, they have a camcorder and home access to internet! Iraq has a middle class, just not as big as the US. I believe they're still considered a third world country because the majority of their citizens are poor.
Keep it up man, at least until the US army blows you and your folks to pieces...of course all in the name of goodness and liberty. We know what´s best for you, so let us save you from yourselves!
I am impressed with your family's dynamics as well as the intelligence of your familly. It is good you are posting these videos to raise the knowledge of people here in the states about what Iraqis and thier families think.
I've seen these type of things happened in the Ghetto, the gangsters would make stupid bullshit rules:IF you step on their shoes they kill you, if you wear a certain color they kill you, if you talk a certain way or try to study instead of join the gangs they will intimidate you or physically hurt you until you join the gang.
A forbidden salad, that is so retarded. That is a symptom of radicalism and radicallized violence. When people start going crazy with violence they beging to create these rules and beliefs that make no fucking sense what so ever and are completely stupid and retarded.
Rofl... Salad is Illegal? I am a muslims and no where in the quran does it say that salad is illegal. Yup.. if this is true then they are lunatics not muslims. Dang.. that country really got messed up bad. lol
i think the leaflet is "black propaganda" its too stupid to be anything else. Get the cameras out on the street lets see whats happening outside from both sides of the "political divide" ...ok..i'll be patient...but let us see huh

It is so nice to see the love. Sometimes in America all we hear of coming out of Iraq is the hate. But, here we see a family full of love. I am deeply touched.
I would like to know the recipe for the "forbidden salad" so that i can eat one everyday in solidarity with responsible Iraqi citizens. You guys are friggin AMAZING! Stay strong, I hope my country will bring peace to your country. I don't know how they can - we've made such a mess over there and our gov't is so impotent...but I'll keep hoping. You all inspire me! Thanks for the vids.
wtf that is stuped mixing ice and cold water in a salad is rong that is rely whered i say eat it who givs a fuck it is not like is u eat it it going to give u a har att lol.
this is a true thing that happens! its not a chain letter! its kinda scary at first but it really works!! paste this message into 3 comments and press ALT F4 and your crushes name will appear on the screen!!! its soo wierd!
Hello, God Bless You and protect you Amen. Please dear do not post videos online you know how many bad guys are there. I love you GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU SAFE
Ahh. Very nice to see Iraqis indulge in a meal as most news of Muslims is such a negative stereotypical image of some dude either blowing up a cafe or shooting at innocent people or other radical insurgents. Not all Muslims are into killing each other and killing Americans...just a small percentage the media takes great enjoyment in putting them on display.
Here are the true Muslims! The insurgents are a tiny percentage of the total population, as the rapists and serial killers and pedophiles are a tiny percentage of ours! How would WE feel if somebody came over here because they felt we should "enjoy the liberties of Islam?" then have guys shooting at each other all day?
imagining what the UK would be like if we had extremists killing people, its not far fetched, if jehovas witnesses had guns they would be alot more oppressive!! its the same thing, well almost
I pray for the people and soldiers that are in Iraq.
I think the Iraq people have more guts than most people in america. Americans take for granted all the freedoms that we have. Just for them to vote..knowing that they could have died on that day....shows the true character of the Iraq people! God bless them all and I hope that we as americans continue to fight for freedom.
i love these hometown baghdad series MASHALLAH ur showing non arabs how the AVERAGE arab muslim family lives and acts!!! and NO offcourse we re not all radicals...stop watching CNN!!!
It reminds me of the warmth of home. Ausama and his family may be living in a very dangerous place, but it's a blessing to be able to sit down and have a meal with your family. Don't be despaired! :))

that, my friend, is what we call false polarization. Just because the islamic radicals are wrong doesn't make the US right. And I would hardly call being indefinitely imprisoned in Cuba or somewhere secret in Eastern Europe without a trial 'enjoying freedoms'.
this video totally changed my mind about everything that's going on in the middle east... i used to think everyone over there was a a complete radical nutcase, but these people are just like my family... this is a great series
this video totally changed my mind about everything that's going on in the middle east... i used to think everyone over there was a a complete radical nutcase, but these people are just like my family... this is a%2
Hahaha! It's wrong to eat mixed salad or drink ice water. I think it's mainly because vegetables are only pure when eaten without the influence of other vegetables.I think it's crap like this that makes our people fall further behind.And when we're behind and stuck in a rut, we either make even dumber 'fatwa's' or blame Americans.
AAAAAHHHHH. i hate radicals, and iam not tlking about mathmatics. they are one dumb fuck. where the fuck do they get their rules and regulations. you can't this kind of salad. where the fuck does that say that in the koran. If i have chance i would kill the extremist one by one. better yet i'll do the chinese torchure on them. GOD i hate them.
Radicals are the stupidest people on Earth. Radicals of any cause or religion. Life takes balance and moderation. Just the fact they would call you an infidel for eating that makes them (the radicals) worse infidels because they have no compassion or forgiveness.
Actually, Buddhism, Judism, and Hinduism should stay. I've heard nothing in the last 500 years about them trying to kill anyone so that their religion may take over. They mind their business and are very religiously tolerant. Seriously, when's the last time you heard "The Buddhas have attacked the whitehouse," or some shit. The only ones who fight out of this group are Jews and Hindus, who are just defending themselves against Muslims.
I think that you need to do a bit of homework and find out about history. There are no saints in this world. I think is very arrogant to even think about who deserves to live in this world.
i cant believe you think you are proving some kind of point. your misinformation mixed with pure ignorance and stupidity topped off with genuine arrogance only makes the situation between the east and the west worse because you don't even understand the people you are talking shit about.
Listen, there are different branches of Islam and different intepretations on how to get to heaven, and I admit I'm making assumptions, but it's hard not to when they'll happily strap a bomb to their chest to blow us up. BTW, I'm only refering to the radical muslims from organizations such as Al Queda. My assumption -ASSUMPTION- is that they must think sacrificing themselves under certain conditions will promise them the flowing rivers and 72 virgins of heaven and all that.
well there arent as many branches of islam as you think, just poor oppressed people who blow themselves up because some terrorist organization will give their family food, and tells them that they will go to heaven.
nowhere in the quran does it say that suicide is an acceptable form of jihad (refering to spreading and defending Islam, and fighting injustice and oppression)suicide is a sin in Islam. and most Muslim scholars agree that if you kill yourself under almost any circumstance you will most likely go to hell.
if you want to stop making assumptions, visit your local mosque and talk to the local imam, he will certainly be happy to speak to you.
Well then can you please give me a valid explanation as to why they hi-jacked several planes and decided to go kamikaze on us? What do you think they did that for, hmm?
Yeah, jews are VERY peaceful. This explains why Israel is the number 1 hated country in the world, even in places like Europe. You must be living in a well to not see how Israel bombed innocent Lebanese last year. Or maybe you're just Jewish.
??? what do you mean what the fuck was that shit? comments like this, when people are just trying to get the word out about what it's like to live in the middle of a war zone. What a sad sad thing. Please think people. please
The controlling govt gets the profits from the gas exports, that is the reason they kill each other.Insurgents are part of a group who would want to try anything to get be the govt.The stakes are high, and so is the violence.
Thank you for sharing these glimpses of your life. Looks like you have a lovely family and friends. Stay safe - there are many people all over the world who care about you and hope everything works out well.
oh wow I can't believe people are saying that we can't mix salads. They're ruining the name of Islam and messing up everyone's minds. InshALLAH people will educate themselves about Islam and remain steadfast...
I consider myself a fairly orthodox Muslim...but...apparently I'm an infidel too because of my haram salad eating ways:P. Astagfiru Allahi rabby! Please, please, listen to me when I say there are indeed those radicals who cant wait for an opening to gain power...and one way to do that is to make people fear doing something wrong. They do that in Pakistan where Im from where theres 30% are literacy rate and now theyre doin it in Iraq where theres no stability.
Fuck al Qaida, fuck the taliban, and fuck all terrorists!Forbidden salad?!?!Are you fucking kidding me?!?!I hope we kill every fucking one of Them!Hoorah, Bitches!
Stand Down Sargent! The stated focus of your mission is to rebuild Iraq and protect the Iraqi people with your life if necessary! And when security is established and the Iraqi people can take over their own security, you're comin' home. Do you understand me? I SAID DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME? Good. Diiiissssssmised!!
Uh were you awake during 9-11. It was the fanatical fundamentalist clerics who have said jhadi on America is just. Just like some cracked out Fundamentalist in Iraq has decreed some food law. The Bible has such things as well. Religion is all about interpretation.
now if you stared reading this dont stop its really scarey!ok send this to five other videos in 143 minutes.When you are done press F6 and your crushes name will apear on the screen in big letters this is weird because it does work.If you break this chance you wont have a crush in the next five years
WOW Keep these videos coming. Can we talk to these people and ask them some real questions. Would love to hear the "REAL" way the feel about us invading the country. Thanks again for posting these. THese people in Iraq are not a talking point word like "Insurgent" these are real people that need to be shown to everyone.
Ausama - you sound like you are unsure whether to believe it is forbidden or not. There is a definite tension in your voice. That is where we Americans cannot understand the seriousness of the religious dogma of the radicals, and how they use your religious beliefs to manipulate others.
ah dude, to me it seemed as if he was mocking them. Your point would be valid if he had actually not eaten the salad. Im sure if he actually thought it was against his beliefs he wouldnt have eaten it.
The whole ice water and mixed salad being forbidden appears to be psyops. Those leaflets are most likely distributed by the U.S. military to descredit the insurgency. Pretty transparent attempt but this video seems to show that some Iraqis are buying it.
I agree. As a muslim it's unthinkable how anyone would believe that "fatwa". Can't see how they can bring out a strong "nas" to back it.
Western military can do psyops in terms of battle, tactical, politics etc. but it always come out silly when they try to do it within the cultural or religion aspect.
americans dont care about salad, and we hear nothing about this on the news. cant you just admit the u.s goverment dosent lie about everyhting. only things they find important.
O.k... Exactly what tactic is that? As for the napalm, I've no idea why they would use them if they're illegal. If that's true, then that makes America look like they think they're so powerful they can disregard the laws on warfare weapons. But by whose laws are they illegal?

Are you considered to be the "upper crust" of Iraqi sociey? Cuz your Kithen is way bigger than mine and I live in the US. Every pic I see of Iraqi people on the news in no way looks like this. It looks way more third world. Im confused.

They have to be in the higher class, both parents are doctors, they have a camcorder and home access to internet! Iraq has a middle class, just not as big as the US. I believe they're still considered a third world country because the majority of their citizens are poor.

Ahh.

Not all Muslims are into killing each other and killing Americans...just a small percentage the media takes great enjoyment in putting them on display.

Actually, Buddhism, Judism, and Hinduism should stay. I've heard nothing in the last 500 years about them trying to kill anyone so that their religion may take over. They mind their business and are very religiously tolerant. Seriously, when's the last time you heard "The Buddhas have attacked the whitehouse," or some shit. The only ones who fight out of this group are Jews and Hindus, who are just defending themselves against Muslims.

Listen, there are different branches of Islam and different intepretations on how to get to heaven, and I admit I'm making assumptions, but it's hard not to when they'll happily strap a bomb to their chest to blow us up. BTW, I'm only refering to the radical muslims from organizations such as Al Queda. My assumption -ASSUMPTION- is that they must think sacrificing themselves under certain conditions will promise them the flowing rivers and 72 virgins of heaven and all that.

well there arent as many branches of islam as you think, just poor oppressed people who blow themselves up because some terrorist organization will give their family food, and tells them that they will go to heaven.

nowhere in the quran does it say that suicide is an acceptable form of jihad (refering to spreading and defending Islam, and fighting injustice and oppression)suicide is a sin in Islam. and most Muslim scholars agree that if you kill yourself under almost any circumstance you will most likely go to hell.
if you want to stop making assumptions, visit your local mosque and talk to the local imam, he will certainly be happy to speak to you.

The whole ice water and mixed salad being forbidden appears to be psyops. Those leaflets are most likely distributed by the U.S. military to descredit the insurgency. Pretty transparent attempt but this video seems to show that some Iraqis are buying it.

I agree. As a muslim it's unthinkable how anyone would believe that "fatwa". Can't see how they can bring out a strong "nas" to back it.
