#Obama ahmed wow thats a nice clock zip#
He’s brave." This is what they teach us in the schools.Īnd then when I was 12, or maybe 11, 12, I realized that no, he's the president of the country and I have to never say anything bad about him because I will be killed.Īnd there's this guy called Hasanain and he was like, which means "s- on Saddam." Every time he says it, it's like, "Oh, my God! Shh, shhh! Zip it! Zip it!" And he’s like, "So it's OK to say 'f- God.'" And I was like, "Yes." "But 'f- Saddam'?" I was like, "No!" īecause you don’t know who's listening, and that’s what he created. You always make courageous decisions.Īt some point I thought he is my grandfather, because I see him everywhere and I was like, "Yeah, this is my grandfather, he’s cute, he’s good, blah blah blah. We are humans, but he is something different. Whenever his name is mentioned, you'd not just mentioned his name, you have to say, "May God protect him, may God save him, may Allah give him more life, may God takes our lives and give it to him, because without him we can't survive."Īnd being a child, I thought he's immortal. I remember is when I get into the school, I see paintings of Micky Mouse and the picture of Saddam Hussein. I was always asking myself why I wasn’t born in the Western world. When I take my father's car I remove the-his tapes, which is Koran or a nasheed, which is Islamic songs, then I put my music in and driving around Baghdad, I go crazy. He had some-I don’t know why-huge problem with the songs, with the music. My father was very religious it was very conflict. But they lost that hope when I was 7, I guess, when I started to say bad words. My family wanted me to be imam, at the mosque. Just don’t tell me you’re going to leave. And I go to the high school with these things. I had the same clothes-the white pants and the open shirts. I always wanted to be one of the Backstreet Boys when I was a teenager. I gotta be honest, I think the Backstreet Boys have some really, really catchy tunes, so I'm definitely down with the Backstreet Boys. What do you know about them? What are their latest? When we started hearing the murmurs that we are about to be invaded, I was excited. So, when I hear statements like, "They hate our freedom and our democracy," it's like, no, we actually love it! We fricking love it! That’s all we wanted. I hadn’t met that many Americans at that time, but there are so many things about America that we appreciate, we like, we want. There are two girls, very beautiful girls, they are sitting there. We thought it's a real McDonald's, and the first moment that we saw it we thought, "Ahh, we have McDonald's here in Iraq!" But this is not McDonald's stuff. It’s a cool place, but it’s a fake McDonald's. And that’s how I learned English-it was from movies and songs. I wanted all of these things that I grew up watching.
I wanted the blue jeans, I wanted the skateboards, I wanted the headphones. So, I formed this little group, and we were the only heavy metal band in Iraq. Let’s take a little bit more of an in-depth look with this first video from Waleed, who as we all know by now is a rocker. Listen for some Metallica, it will help you. Let’s live a happy life and let’s rock ’n’ roll. I'm generally interested in computers, and I like internet, I like email and all this stuff. You know, it's like-I don't know, it's like, "Hello, people of America!"
I mean, am I wrong, or did I sound like Borat? It’s very weird looking at yourself as a young man. Let’s everyone in New York say "hi" to everyone over in Baghdad.Īnd if you guys could say "hi" back to us, just so we know that you saw us. I am Vanessa Rae, and today we're participating in a historic discussion between the young people of two countries on the brink of war. It’s very dangerous to forget, because memory all is what's left for us. If I'm released from prison, I would never join ISIS again.
When I see myself, it all comes back to me, how I survived. This is the first time that I've spoken about what happened to me. What would you do if someone tried to break into your house? Would you sit and watch, or would you resist? These are their personal accounts and lasting memories of the invasion of their country and the 17 years of chaos that followed. I was very happy to see them at that time, like, "Hi! I can speak English!" This is the story of the war in Iraq, told by Iraqis who lived through it. Terrorists, hatred, dangerous regimes, weapons of mass destruction, evil-and it must be opposed. States like these and their terrorist allies constitute an axis of evil. Iraq continues to flaunt its hostility toward America and to support terror. We went through so much oppression, but no one listened. I’m happy because someone is listening to me. I hope you will get everything you want. Now, what are your preferences with regards to vaping or not? Do you.
