In anticipation of the 25th of Feb 'Day of Ra

I remember vividly the first videos of the Egyptian protests that showed a fearlessness and a courage unseen before in an Arab country, Egypt more than anyone else. It was clear to the world that a pivotal shift in the geopolitical landscape. Starting in Tunisia, and then in Egypt, and all of a sudden in Libya, Iran and Bahrain. God protect them from their criminal governments.

Then I hear to my great surprise, that a day of rage has been planned in IRAQ ! in that long forgotten invaded raped bloody country I used to call home. Where foreign and US interference are stripping bare day by day while the different factions fight amongst themselves. I thought we'd be too busy killing and declaring each other kafir to stage a protest, but there you have it.

I am hopeful about this protest, I'm hopeful that just as the muslim and christian egyptians stood side by side, that the sunna and shia of iraq will stand side by side, they are after all, ALL MUSLIM !

Not to belittle the importance of our christian and kurdish brothers and sisters who have also suffered so much during the past 8 years. Maybe what we need isn't a state for every faction but a united homeland where we all are iraqis, where we all speak the same dialect and eat the same food and get the same excitement when we hear the grendizer cartoon.

Now fashion-babe.deviantart.com/ also made a request below asking for pictures for anyone who is there,

Hello shbab!
I was wonderin' if someone would make a great picture about the protest that is goin' on in Iraq, so I can use it in mah blog?
I'm writin' about Iraq and the protest and what I think about it and I really need a good picture. Thought I'd ask you so we could share this moment and hope for a change for the Iraqi people! Wallah I'm really afraid Iraq will be the only country who will fail with this.. 7athna! Areed arja3 lel Iraq w ashofha mt3'ayra w al nas ka3d aynathfon al shawar3 3lmod nbni Iraq jded! God.. I really hope we can do this!


I am hopeful, I am a sunni but on Friday 25th Feb I will also be shi3i and kurdi and masee7i, and even zaidi, why not, lol.

Please let me know what you think.
