Encyclopedia Of Iraqi Blogs. The Iraqi Blogosphere Community: An Introduction. In the name of God, the merciful, the compassionate. Ever Since Salam Pax decided to reach his dear friend Raed Jarrar under the watcheful eyes of Saddam, more and more Iraqis have been creating blogs, and today, in the fourth anniversary of that day, a fragile and incohesive Iraqi Blogosphere is alive and bustling. This blog will be for the sole purpose of analysing that community and reviewing the bloggers behind it. It is i...

Monday, December 12, 2005. The upcoming election in iraq is not going to to do anything but deepen the already exsiting war between the different groups of Iraqis. This elections is the fruit of presifent Bushs presistence on having the january elecion earlier this year, but where is it going? What problems its gonna solve? And what should we expect from the new goverment? In fact, this agenda was the casue of the soaring of the resistance, and icreasing both the quantity and the quality of the attacks a...

Madly in love with Iraq. The subject I don't like to speak about. Last night one of the members in my gym was wondering about my accent. Take a guess! I replied. He immediately said, ‘are you Iraqi? You guessed right. How did you know? He answered back in English, I am an Iraqi Sunni! And you speak like my father! This guy’s mother is Swedish; his Iraqi grandparents immigrated from Iraq in the late forties! Never seen Iraq in his life and he doesn’t speak a word of Arabic. Later on when they did broadcas...

Madly in love with Iraq. I was sitting in the park last week when a small girl of about 4 years came up to me and said Can I tell you a joke? I hugged her and replied of course you can; go on , Why is Cinderella bad in football? I asked, Because her coach is a pumpkin! I laughed so much; the little one couldn’t believe she was that funny and went back to her mother jumping with a triumphant smile;. The pumpkin reminded me somehow of the turban, not only the sound of it but the shape as well. Then I quick...

Madly in love with Iraq. My own experience with Democracy. The word Democracy itself sounds like music to the ear. All speak about it, run after it and want to achieve it. For me it first meant security, few years later it developed to fairness, and further on, to get one’s rights to the full; the last stage the word itself diminished and all I care for is how to cope with new taxes, change in interest rate, and the rise in fuel and transport fares and so on. The letters were quite upsetting and intimida...

Madly in love with Iraq. Rain Rain Rain, the theme of this city; it’s all about rain. He laughed again and said what do you think then? The weather man is misleading us? We live in an island, and it is just impossible to be accurate. It suddenly hit me; I come from a country where the media lies all the time; to the extent that people don’t even trust them with the weather forecast! We are blessed with the BBC, and it is by large an independent entity. On the 4th of November every year, we have Guy fawkes.

Madly in love with Iraq. No one loves Iraq anymore. This time last year, I was preparing to go home. Just thinking of it now fills me with joy. Once I paid for the ticket, I started to have sleepless nights and became very anxious. The saddest part though is feeling afraid. I tried hard to dismiss this mood, it is home after all, but how could anyone? The taxi-driver who drove me from the airport was called Saddam! In the hands of the Mujahideen? Our kitchen smelt differently, with all the new primitive ...

The Future of Iraq: The age of Iraqi bloggers, come and gone?
http://futureiraq.blogspot.com/2007/09/age-of-iraqi-bloggers-come-and-gone.html
The Future of Iraq. Nationalism or religious fundamentalism. Sectarianism or secularism. Unified sovereignty or Balkanization. Occupation or resistance. A future Iraq or no Iraq at all? Saturday, September 22, 2007. The age of Iraqi bloggers, come and gone? As the media bullets flew in the 18 months preceding the US invasion of Iraq, connected Iraqis who were both web-savvy as well as proficient in foreign languages took to the internet to give a rare, albeit belated, look at life in the embargoed country.
