An article just came out on the rise of domestic Violence against Iraqi women.
The article starts with this heart throbbing introduction :
The vast majority of Iraqi women face domestic violence on a regular basis and many commit suicide because of it...
Iraq and the semi-autonomous region of Kurdistan should take measures to stop violence against women, including honour killings and genital mutilation..
To "escape the cycle of violence", many women turned to suicide.
Rest of article here and you MUST read it.
So, the brutal, homicidal, dual, racist American and sectarian Iranian occupation, is crowned with extra bonus violence. Honor killings, genital mutilation, burning with acid, torture, rape, harassment, forced veiling, kidnappings...
What else dear ?
Anything else you would like to add to the "liberation" of Iraqi women ?
This Occupation has emasculated the Iraqi man to such an extent that he needs to regain his sense of virility and masculinity by torturing women instead.
The Iraqi woman on top of her grief, bereavement, loss, and pauperization has also become the source for castrated men to draw from, an inkling of an illusion of manhood, a failed manhood.
We did not have this SHIT before our being "liberated". This came with "democracy and freedom", Western style.
I feel my blood boiling now...I need to stop. I will go and "chill out."
And this is one of the things I do to "chill out", I watch youtube clips. These days am into Hindi films. Don't ask me why, I don't know why.
Maybe the colors, the tunes, the songs, the joyful dances are my unconscious antidote to mutilation and acid burns...
So here, I leave you with this Bollywood song. I am not too crazy about the actors, but the song and its lyrics are just wonderful...
Do you think this is what men in "liberated" Iraq sing to us, Iraqi women ?
Ha!
Okay, I definitely need to go and chill out, now !
P:S: I have never had as many problems with a video upload as with this one below. Another "coincidence" I suppose. So here is the English translation:
Tu Hi To Jannat Meri
YOU ARE MY PARADISE,
Tu Hi Mera Junoon
YOU ARE MY OBSESSION,
Tu Hi To Mannat Meri
YOU ARE MY WISHES,
Tu Hi Rooh Ka Sukoon
YOU ARE EASE FOR MY SOUL,
Tu Hi Ankhiyon Ke Thandak
YOU ARE RELIEF FOR MY EYES,
Tu Hi Dil Ke Hai Dastak
YOU ARE A KNOCK ON THE DOOR OF MY HEART,
Aur Kuch Na Jaanu Mein, Bas Itna Hi Jaanu,
I KNOW NOTHING ELSE, BUT I DO KNOW THIS,
Tujh Mein Rab Dikhta Hain
I SEE GOD IN YOU,
Yaara Main Kya Karoon?
OH GOD WHAT DO I DO?
"Tujh Mein Rab Dikhta..."
Sajde Sar Jukhta Hai
I BOW MY HEAD TO YOU,
Yaara Main Kya Karoon?
OH GOD WHAT DO I DO?
Kaise Hai Yeh Doori, Kaise Majboori?
WHAT IS THIS DISTANCE, THIS HELPLESSNESS?
Maine Nazaron Se Tujhe Chu Liya
I HAVE ONLY TOUCHED YOU WITH MY GAZE,
Kabhi Tere Khushboo, Kabhi tere Baatein
AT TIMES IT'S YOUR FRAGRANCE, AT OTHER TIMES, YOUR WORDS,
Bin Mange Yeh Jahan Pa Liya
WITHOUT ASKING FOR IT I HAVE RECIEVED THE WHOLE WORLD,
Tu Hi Dil Ki Hai Raunak
YOU ARE WHAT LIGHTENS MY HEART,
Tu Hi Janmo Ki Daulat
YOU ARE ALL THE VALUBLE THINGS OF LIFETIMES,
Aur Kuch Na Janoo, Bas Itna Hi Janoo
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE, BUT I DO KNOW THIS,
Rab Ni Bana Di Jodi...
GOD HAS MADE THE COUPLE...
Cham Cham Aaye, Mujhe Tarsaaye
SOFTLY IT CAME, TORMENTING ME,
Tera Saaya Chedke Choomta
YOUR SHADOW TEASES AND KISSES ME,
Tu Jo Muskaaye
WHENEVER YOU SMILE,
Tu Jo sharmaaye
WHENEVER YOU BECOME SHY,
Jaise Mera Hai Khuda Jhoomta
IT MAKES THE SPIRIT INSIDE ME SPIN WITH JOY,
Tu Hi Mere Hai Barkat
YOU ARE MY GOOD FORTUNE,
Tu Hi Mere Ibaadat
YOU ARE MY DEVOTION,
Aur Kuch Na Jaanu, Bas Itna Hi Jaanu
I KNOW NOTHING ELSE, BUT I KNOW THIS,
Rab Ni Bana Di Jodi...
GOD HAS MADE THIS COUPLE
