I am from North Iraq, kurd...trust me Iraqis if US take their troops out off the country now it will be AT LEAST a very bloody civil war and if that isnt enough Turkey, Syria or Iran will probably invade for our oil and trust me if they do it EVERY human in Iraq would wish that the Americans never left! May Saddam burn in hell and long live a FREE IRAQ! INSHALLAH WE WILL RISE!
Hey guys this is absolutely great! I mean, your courage to do all this stuff and uploading it in youtube so people can see how your lives really are in baghdad... I really admire you all!!! Thank you for your courage!!!
rasan 83, don't you understand? these guys are not murderers, they don't shoot deliberately at people.... they are educated, cultivated iraqis who have gotten hold of guns in reaction to the fucked up situation in their country.... it may be irrational, but it's called self-preservation instinct.....
i loved the laughters in the end of this video ..inshalla ya rab all iraqis will be capable agian to laugh from the bottom of thier hearts like the guys in the vidoe
What the fuck, It is all their faults, i mean by them, Iraqi people, this guy can see the insurgents outside his house and he has the gun but dont kill him, and they complian about the situation, THEY DO NOT COOPERATE WITH NEITHER GOVERNMENT NOR WITH THE US ARMY AND THEY WANT THE SITUATION TO GET BETTER, IS THERE ANYBODY CAN EXPLAIN TO ME,,,,
If they side with the americans, then they will be targeted by the 'insurgents' and can easily be hauled off by the dead of night and found in a ditch miles out of town. If they side with the insurgents. the US army will be after them. They did not ask for this war. They did not ask for the insurgents nor the US army in their country. The military forces made that choice for them. They want no part of it. Just peace.
If you do not take into consideration terrorist organisations and treat them right..... I sure hope you don't mean to treat terrorist organizations right.... and I'm sure the guy in the video referring to "masked men" means the terrorists who are too chickenshit to stay outside and fight and instead run into random houses to hide.
Why don't you get your history straight, the Russians beat the Nazis on the Eastern front, losing millions of men there. You fought an already weakened demoralised German army in France in 1944. Go and read a history book that wasn't printed in America you moron.
This was very interesting and to me it goes into the educational section of my play lists, this made me realize how some people live in hot zones (I personally think its quite cool) well there is one thing in common in my house with theirs is that i got that shotgun umbrella too
Do not "Fuck" America. Do not even "Fuck" Americans...the only ones that deserve "fucking" are the ignorant power hungry capitilists that infect America's government, oh...but "Fuck" the populace of the united states that believe that because they are the largest economical country or whatever, that they are the strongest... i.e Untouchable.
I belive that the US would have a lot of an easyer job if the Iraqi resistance wouldnt resist as much... Hell, they might even be outta Iraq by now. As for the reasons the US went to Iraq, they were wrong. But considering the fact that humans are wrong once in a while, and the president knew he had to act quickly, I belive the govorment story. Thanks for the post btw ^^
The people shooting the videos express very western views at wanting to enjoy life and freedom. It's sad that war has to happen, but I think American folks are helping. Trust me, most Americans do not want to go to Iraq to kill people.
You, who are ignorant, (even in movies) Who mistakenly believe you can simply walk into someone else's home without being invited, eat their food, watch T.V., try on their clothes, sleep in their bed, and then have nerve to ask, "Who are you?", when the owners come home, sure need a lesson in diplomacy.
it's amazing you people in iraq can live with the rotten american ss nazi's there! but hang in there! WWII proved the nazis can be defeated, and they will be again!
How can you bring peace to a country where fire arms are accessible even to a college student and to a Dentist? I wonder how accessible weapons are to the terrorist/ fighters. It is simply unbilievable. I feel sorry for their daily life. A cacophony of bullets, that is not a pretty picture!
Says someone while forgetting to mention the US, where for example a student shot over 30 people in some university, where it was easy for him to get a gun.
you are ignorant and you feed that ignorance by spewing your propaganda onto the internet. However, your right to get high off your own intellectualism is a freedom protected by the USA, your welcome.
OH MY WORD! Now if that isn't an ignorant American right there, I don't know what is. America protects it's own interests, economy, etc. You don't care about the world.
You guys are amazing. I'm so sorry you are burdened with this war - you don't deserve it. I admire your courage and ability to smile and laugh with everything that is going on around you. I wish you peace and love.
I'll ignore the controversy for now, cuz dayum this one made me laugh a bit. He whipped out a shotgun thinkin "Imma fuck up osama" lmao...sigh...someone needs to sooner or later.
I just don't understand WHY???? Americans just dont REVOLT against this Administration, America Used to be looked upon with Admirations from other countries,, WHAT HAPPENED???? BUSH HAPPENED???? He is Only one Man just like Saddam. See What happened to him.
See what happened to Saddam? He rose to power in 1979, and was removed from power by a foreign nation in 2003, after 24 years in office. Not exactly the best example you might have chosen for trying to inspire Americans to rise up against their president.
this didn't start 4 years ago, it started in 62 when the Brits conspired with the bath party to assassin the only democrasy in Iraq history when they got rid of the purist leader in the 20th century (kareem qasim)
what do you mean "hand picked them" these are sample of majority in baghdad, do you know Iraq has the higest percentage PHd's per capita in the world?. If you are not tired of seeing the same old man teethless extremist image of iraqi on tv, turn on Fox channel.
you ppl fuking disgust me blaming americans for the violence i saw hundreds of tapes of iraqi ppl killing each other for the past 15 years but the ingorant masses will always take the easier solution hate a foreigner before thy comrade all man is evil no matter what race.
Just look at before pics of Baghdad before and now!!Americans DID cause this war and after it was exposed by YOUR OWN MEDIA that Iraq hod NO WMD's or whatever W's excuse was at any particular week, u ppl are still playing the blame game. Gun happy ppl? Virginia Tech??
the end of this video seems fun... the guy still has sense of humor, making fun of shotgun. it really tells how brave u guys are... really fighting for living
im glad you guys have enough humor and humanity left to be laughing about the shotgun cleaner thing at the end, that was funny. Frankly, i could never live under that stress >.>
I am so sorry for your troubles in Bagdad and pray for the people in all that region. I pray that the killing stops and many come to know Jesus as savior and Lord!!
How can you even joke that that is music to your ears. Man how depressing. I'm glad they're making these videos and I am truly proud of these guys and these people for enduring this hell.
Really, really sad. Chucklehead Bush and his freak followers have screwed us all. As an American, I am very ashamed of the mayhem my country in the world.
he ameican population needs a good shot of bleach to get rid of all these conservative chumps who have destoyed the american constitution and brought World hate upon the American people.
What so amazing is the incredible stength of these people. THey live with this every day and yet they can still smile and laugh and joke. its just amazing. truly inspiring.
dang media say its getting better, but it definitely isnt. having to have a gun at all times definitely isnt reassuring...ill subscirbe just cause it might make them feel a little more popular.
Thanks for telling us your stories. You definitely don't see this on the news. All you get are carefully crafted soft focus stories about how everything is going great. You never get a candid story about what it really feels like to live in Baghdad from a young Iraqi. As I go to my exams in a couple weeks I'll think how lucky I am to live in a place where gunfire won't keep me in my home.
I just watched all of your Hometown Baghdad videos for the first time. Thank you so much for showing me a glimpse of what you are experiencing and for showing me humanity which exists in every culture on the planet. I don't get to see this on our news. I will watch more as you post them. Again, thank you! -woman in USA
Thank you for sharing your life in Iraq. Its good to hear about how people live in a warzone. It makes you appreciate peace so much more. I hope that peace will come one day Iraq nobody should have to live in those conditions. My heart goes out to all Iraqis suffering from Canada :)
It is hard to live a normal life with all that craziness going on out there. Please keep up your videos and showing the world what the life of a 20 something has to be like when you live in a mess of violence and chaos like it is over there now. I really thank my stars that I live where there isn't gunfire going off constantly and that I can walk down the street without having to see military and machine gunes on a daily basis. -San Diego, CA USA
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 ,shaloom
Uh, are you idiotic or you can't seem to see that these are normal folks trying to live in abnormal circumstances. End this war and give these people a chance to live.
Are you an idiot? for Arabs the so called "israel" is Palestine.. to the Arabs christian and muslim Palestine is everything. They hate Israel goverment but not the land itself IDIOT
It's all Israel's fault that nobody likes them, same thing with us. Israel will, in my mind, be an evel place as long as the supression of Palestine contenuse. Our government is makeing me more ashamed of the flag evry day. DOWN WITH BUSH!
Shit, all I can say is thanks, you've painted a picture of yourself that many of us haven't seen yet, that your normal human beings trying to carry on like normal despite all the hardship. NOT the second rate peasants that western media decides to portray you as.
dude if the U.S supports you your screwed, they always blow up their own convoys and lose on average three men a day. the UK will save your ass we lose on average 1 a week and dont bomb our convoys
These are the things that they never show US on TV. Thanks for posting these. More Americans need to see how life really is there. I'm sorry for you all.
Do you really know their culture? Or are you just saying what you heard on american TV? I guess you don't know that during the middle ages, only the arabians made advances in science and medicine, while the europeans were too busy praying...
This is why we need to fund our soldiers and get the trash off the streets. This is the only way normal people there will have a good life. There own Goverment uses our soldier as personal security. Let the officials protect them selves lets help the people.
great video!! first of all i wish all the people in iraq health and security. this video is reality, this is the kind of thing you need to see if you want to know about life in baghdad, its not newschannel crap its the real thing (at least thats what i believe :D) the war still sucks and bush sucks even more. peace out!!
I own a bar full of redneck Americans, I wish they could see this next time one of those redneck idiots says we should nuke the whole country. America is full of ignorant racists.
scary...being trapped in your own house...and knowing that the fighting could come into your own home any second. How do they find to will to survive?
this is a great story. Respect to the film makers and everyone involved. we need more of this to help people become aware of what is happening in our world...the human face indeed. Thanks to You Tube for featuring this. I subscribed! Look forward to hearing his music Rock On Hometown Baghdad!
The way I see it is that the Iraqi police needs to establish law & order just the way US police do it. They need SWAT teams to go an get these sectarian-violent thugs. And then the Iraqi judicial system needs to be used to put these guys away. Death penalty for those in the death squads.
Detroit isnt even in the top 10 in the nation, Camden NJ is the violent crime murder capital of the nation 4 years running. Great video, I find it hard to believe this is all these people have to arm themselves, a Lebanese friend of mine was given 30 assault rifles as a gift when he was born ... all of which are still overseas.
I am not going to claim to know how life is, just a guessed generalization of the region and its lenient gun laws.
I have a half Iranian friend who was given an assault rifle as a gift when he was a young child. he just says it's customary... hell, they shoot guns into the air to celebrate births and weddings and stuff...
HDawesome are you fucking stupid. Detroit has been in the top three most dangereous cities list for about five years in counting. This year it is number two.
its pretty wild how they can still find a reason to laugh, shows the true perserverence of human beings no matter where they live, hope that everyone makes it out ok
I suppose Saddam and his hellish children were better? I'm not saying the way it is now is... It's rather even really. Except we're not gassing anyone, or telling them they can't elect their own leaders and make their own laws.... Okay, not exactly the same.
It's amazing to find out how many dumb people still believe this was a freedom war. Yeah, right: spine, big balls...bullshits. Get out of the gym and go back to books, try to use your brain if you still have one.
Quit watching Liberal media and actually see whats going on in Iraq. Now I cant speak for these people but if you watch any of the alternative media channels (i.e. Michael Yon, Young Americans) people who are actually embedded into infantry platoons can see that if anything Marines do more protecting, of civilians from fundamentalists, which you can find videos online of them executing civilians for not following the fundamental laws.
Please forgive my fellow countrymen ,they dont have a clue. Ive been in your country and Ive given alot of my own rations and goodies away to Iraqi children,yes Ive been shot at by your guys and Ive shot back,its called WAR. Im an American and you are Iraqi...and still we're brothers.I hope this shit ends soon Im gettin tired of it.And I KNOW your tired of it.PEACE to you bro.
They're just about day to day life in Baghdad. He sounds American probably because he's been taught to speak English by Americans, or by watching American films/popmusic?
For more information on these videos you can visit hometownbaghdad dot com. And for all those people out there who think this is fake, please open up and realize war is not necessarily what you see in movies. People still have to live their lives somehow.
the people who shot this or who are in this may not have put this on youtube but thank you for this it is a good thing to know what is happening over there and I hope you guys never have to use those guns
DONT READ THIS! In 1997 a girl called lauren was walikng in a forest and then a she just dissapeared no one ever found her untill 2000 when a yoing girl called Mary found her body and markings on her chest saying: I wasnt pretty enough" and now you have read this she will appear in your mirror saying your not pretty enough and kill you. by the way the girl called mary died shortly after. To be saved paste this to 5 other videos. THIS TRUE
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!

lol, actually this is the first time i post something like that, i just saw it and i was actualy wondering how long it would take for me to get a reply for it, well it took 3mins and 37secs so gg ^^.

Really interesting films and they really hit home much more than what we see on the news here in the UK. We get lots of images of the destruction from journalists, and angry and upset people screaming at the camera, but it's really rare to see something like this. It humanises the Iraqis much more and I think you're doing a really important thing.
You know, I never see Adel bash America in any of his videos. I don't think that is his point. Regardless of the state of affairs in Iraq, I see nothing wrong with having a gun in your home to protect your family.
Poor blokes... but you cant expect anything betta from the usa, a country who's population is made up from the descendants of european rejects,african slaves and latino immigrants who care only 4themselves.God bless america, she needs it...
At least America still has a spine and a big pair of balls. Europe has turned into a continent of pansies. The Islamofascists are going to take Europe from the Inside-out. Ta ta, 'bloke'.
Who was defenseless here again? The terrorists perhaps? That can't be it, they actually attack the locals, hoping to sow discord and fear... Not the american trrops as a whole. I think the media here would jump all over a story like that, make no mistake. Haven't heard anything in a while. So who are you refering to really?
wow. shut the fuck up. it's the fuckin Shiite and Sunnie extremists that are at each others throats; it's these fucktards that are fukin up the average iraqi joe's day. Not the U.S. army or Marines. U.S. soldiers and people like Saif/Adel alike are caught up in this deadly civil war.
you fucking cunt it is sunni and siite conflict dickhead it is not directly related to US's invasion into iraq fuck your an idiot they have been fucking each other in the arse for years u fuck stick
yes the sunni/shiite conflict predates our invasion by hundreds of years. but dipshit, when we replaced a dictator- who had both sides in check- with chaos, we created the 'freedom' to reignite the confliict. it's called filling a void- which i wish someone would do with the empty space between your ears. the us & its coalition are completely at fault for the destruction of modern iraq.
Go back to your books! This is not about religion and shia and sunnis. This is about POLITICAL power, and if religion is gonna achieve that, weel so be it. I'm sick of hearing this line about Iraq, the Middle East and the Israeli-Palestinian problem. Shia and sunnis are living together around the Middle East and abroad... How come they fight each other only in Iraq?? POLITICS...
DON'T READ THIS (BAD LUCK)In 1876, a young girl named Jenn was walking down a river, an insane man killed her by stabbing her in the back, raping her, and then hanging her in his closet. While he hanged her he said Bukakke Bukkake.
Now that you have read this message, she will find you and her dead body will haunt your house for 5 years. Every night you go to sleep she will appear in your closet, hanging their with her glowing red eyes.
True, Saddam did horible things, and was fucked up, but regardless, normal everyday civilians weren't living like this, with this fear. Bullets flying everywhere, terrorists in every neighbourhood. When Saddam was there, life existed, as long as noone talked shit about the government, normal everyday Iraqis had nothing to fear. Shiites and Sunni lived side by side. Better than now
Saddam killed nearly a million of his own country men. He had an enormous underground prison. You wouldn't be afraid of that? Do anything that pissed him off and you would die or be thrown in jail without due process?
A million country men? Don't believe everything you hear from media. Sure there were a lot of people that didn't want him as president, but just cause some people in a country don't want they're pres to be pres anymore, doesn't mean America can come in and take over. Fuck, I'm from CAnada and I know a million people that don't want Harper as PM, does that mean if we complain, America will invade us? lol, don't always believe the media, remember the first gulf war and the incubator lie?
I am from North Iraq, kurd...trust me Iraqis if US take their troops out off the country now it will be AT LEAST a very bloody civil war and if that isnt enough Turkey, Syria or Iran will probably invade for our oil and trust me if they do it EVERY human in Iraq would wish that the Americans never left! May Saddam burn in hell and long live a FREE IRAQ! INSHALLAH WE WILL RISE!

Thanks for telling us your stories. You definitely don't see this on the news. All you get are carefully crafted soft focus stories about how everything is going great. You never get a candid story about what it really feels like to live in Baghdad from a young Iraqi. As I go to my exams in a couple weeks I'll think how lucky I am to live in a place where gunfire won't keep me in my home.

It is hard to live a normal life with all that craziness going on out there. Please keep up your videos and showing the world what the life of a 20 something has to be like when you live in a mess of violence and chaos like it is over there now. I really thank my stars that I live where there isn't gunfire going off constantly and that I can walk down the street without having to see military and machine gunes on a daily basis. -San Diego, CA USA

The way I see it is that the Iraqi police needs to establish law & order just the way US police do it. They need SWAT teams to go an get these sectarian-violent thugs. And then the Iraqi judicial system needs to be used to put these guys away. Death penalty for those in the death squads.

Detroit isnt even in the top 10 in the nation, Camden NJ is the violent crime murder capital of the nation 4 years running. Great video, I find it hard to believe this is all these people have to arm themselves, a Lebanese friend of mine was given 30 assault rifles as a gift when he was born ... all of which are still overseas.
I am not going to claim to know how life is, just a guessed generalization of the region and its lenient gun laws.

Quit watching Liberal media and actually see whats going on in Iraq. Now I cant speak for these people but if you watch any of the alternative media channels (i.e. Michael Yon, Young Americans) people who are actually embedded into infantry platoons can see that if anything Marines do more protecting, of civilians from fundamentalists, which you can find videos online of them executing civilians for not following the fundamental laws.

Really interesting films and they really hit home much more than what we see on the news here in the UK. We get lots of images of the destruction from journalists, and angry and upset people screaming at the camera, but it's really rare to see something like this. It humanises the Iraqis much more and I think you're doing a really important thing.

yes the sunni/shiite conflict predates our invasion by hundreds of years. but dipshit, when we replaced a dictator- who had both sides in check- with chaos, we created the 'freedom' to reignite the confliict. it's called filling a void- which i wish someone would do with the empty space between your ears. the us & its coalition are completely at fault for the destruction of modern iraq.

Go back to your books! This is not about religion and shia and sunnis. This is about POLITICAL power, and if religion is gonna achieve that, weel so be it.

How come they fight each other only in Iraq?? POLITICS...

A million country men? Don't believe everything you hear from media. Sure there were a lot of people that didn't want him as president, but just cause some people in a country don't want they're pres to be pres anymore, doesn't mean America can come in and take over. Fuck, I'm from CAnada and I know a million people that don't want Harper as PM, does that mean if we complain, America will invade us? lol, don't always believe the media, remember the first gulf war and the incubator lie?
