Two years in Iraq - November 15, 2008

In November 2006 Al Jazeera began broadcasting in English with a promise to balance teh flow of information from South to North.

Two years on we are looking at the state of the world through the eyes of children. How do opportunity, expectation and lifestyle differ from region to region, and country to country?
We are focusing on Argentina, Gaza, Iraq, Russia and the United Kingdom.
Here we journey to the home of two year old Aws Al Obeidi, who has never been outside the suburb of Baghdad where he was born, or visited the local park because his parents remain worried about the security situation.

What an ignorent coment to make about the Koran! Do you have any verse to back youre claim if you are so free in youre insulting of Koran. Think before you insult 1.5 billion people in the world. Why is it so easy for some Westerners to just say such stupid retorics which they have picked up from bias sources?
