This discussion about the rules imposed by al Qaeda on the people in Baqubah took place among Iraqis at the Ministry of Trade on June 29, 2007 and was videotaped by Michael Yon. It is part of the dispatch "Bread and a Circus, Part 2" published at http://www.michaelyon-online.com/wp/bread-and-a-circus-part-ii-of-ii.htm and is best understood in the context of the dispatch.
stuff like this happens in America too, among Christian Americans. it was only a few years ago when a politician (don't recall whom, unfortunately) was trying to organize a movement to cover a statue depicting a topless Minerva (goddess of Justice) outside a courthouse with a robe to hide her breasts. Nutcases are everywhere.

Dang them AQ are nuts. We all know it but hearing this makes it so much more clear. Everyone should hear this so AQ will be the laughed at by the world. More people hear this more will stand up and say enough!! lets kill AQ. and maybe less people will help AQ.

Amazing. . . it is funny if it wasn't connected to such serious consequences for the infractions of these bizzare rules.

Those AQI boys are some crazy guys-most of the so called Muslim "extremists" in al-Anbar are porno freaks. Marines searching homes over there reach into little nooks and crannies expecting bombs and bullets but find western porno mags-its crazy!
