Imagine if these children were American, Isreali, British or simply non-Muslim, wouldn't they be publicised all over & their poor desolate condition made known to all via thousands of various media channels? So then why the double standards & lack of care & concern just because they're Iraqi & Muslim?!
This is not just the case of maybe one or two or a couple dozen of Iraqi children but of hundreds of Iraqi deprived & displaced children, adopted as an original daily routine. What more has the illegal & foreign occupation in Iraq achieved again other than negativity & failure? What more of a need is there for the foreign occupational troops to remain in Iraq when these children are left unacknowledged & cared for, whilst their number making a living from rubish is rapidly increasing? Didn't they promise to improve the situation for the Iraqis by eliminating Saddam Hussein? Didn't they promise to increase & expand the Iraqi economy? Didn't they promise the needs of the Iraqi citizens will be taken into thorough consideration? Well, they didn't quite live upto their promises & neither did such a dire situation exist during the reign of Saddam Hussein where children were forced to scavenge around garbage for a means of survival & livelihood. Unfortunately, this is the depressing reality for many Iraqi children who have no source of income, support or family.
May Allah subhana wa ta'ala better the conditions of the Iraqis & grant them success, peace & security back into their land.

  • Yes the war in Iraq causes a lot of problems but a lot of it is to do with sectarian violence. If the western troops pull out this won't stop. They are killing their own people.

  • @kinneas: Thank you for your comment however I will have to disagree with your opinion. The sectarian divide didn't exist nor was initiated in Iraq untill AFTER the foreign invasion. Prior to this unjust action, all sects including Christians existed && lived in harmony.

    I urge you to check out the video I've uploaded called:

    *Iraq's Civil War-Results of illegal War & Foreign Occupation*

    It will clarify a lot. Till next time, Smile cuz it's a charity.

  • @TheMuslimahSouljette So you're saying that sectarian violence didn't occur in Iraq until foreign invasion? So Saddam gassing thousands of Kurds didn't happen? =\

    What about the sectarian violence happening in other Muslim countries that aren't occupied by outside forces? The Middle East is a volatile zone and it was long before foreign occupation.

  • @kinneas: Did you watch the video? And no, sectarian corruption didn't occur untill the western invasion, and certainly not to this extent that it's at today.

    Which other Muslim countries are you talking about? Please mention some.

  • @TheMuslimahSouljette Yes I watched the video. And to say that Iraq was flourishing under Saddam is a downright lie. He was a dictator who took many lives and deserved to be ousted by force. Now don't get me wrong. I think there's a lot of new problems. But it was nowhere near as bad as when Saddam was in charge. And as for other countries? Bahrain? Somalia? With Sufis and Al-Shabaab. Pakistan? With Sunnis and Shias?

  • @kinneas: I never said the Iraqi affairs were perfect under Saddam's reign, however conflictions due to the sectarian divide didn't escalate to such an extreme they have since after the invasion - that's my point.

    Please check out the many other videos I've uploaded on the Iraq War, it'll clearly show which problems stemmed up as a result of the foreign occupation.

    The countries you mentioned have also had some external forces meddling in their own civil matters hence the divide && opposition.

    1 doing well 100000 sufer.

  • These people starve while Amerikans get fatter and greedy.

    War is not the answer to anything.

  • @ thewageofsin: And oh, if you couldn't sympathise with these unfortunate children, may the Most Beneficent bestow His infinite mercy on them && improve their condition, then I suggest dropping inconsiderate lame remarks would be ideal to stop.

    Regardless of race && religion they're children hence all of them should be entitled to equal treatment, justice, safety && security throughout childhood.

    Had you been in their position maybe you wouldn't just casually leave a lame comment.
