• Iraq: Clerics set up displays to push their idea of dress for women
  9 February 2011

  Since the fall of Saddam Hussein’s government in 2003, women’s clothing has served as a barometer not just of fashion, but of the current ascendancy of religious values in a once secular society. On this busy thoroughfare, near Baghdad’s largest holy shrine, what might be called the mannequin salvo in the Battle of the Abaya — between secularism and Shariah law — incites heated views on both sides. If revolution in the Arab world is sweeping Cairo’s streets, the smaller strokes here represent forces no less urgent.

  17 February 2013, by siawi3

  After losing a significant amount of its power in the Middle East, particularly in Iraq, it looks like Al-Qaeda is now trying to rebuild itself and re-boost its forces in Syria.

It would serve our societies better to insist on secularism and women’s equality – not western, not eastern but universal.

  23 May 2017, by siawi3

• IS bombings kill 35 in Iraq
  21 May 2017, by siawi3

• Could Iraq be divided into separate regions along Shiite, Sunni, and Kurdish lines?
  27 March 2014, by siawi3

  Al-Qaeda’s success is evident in the fact that its fighters are openly parading through Fallujah and Ramadi. Those cities are becoming de facto part of a new al-Qaeda statelet that spans western Iraq and eastern Syria. Separating this region from the rest of Iraq will make permanent this parlous state of affairs.

• Iraq: Blasts, clashes kill at least 25 in central Baghdad
  16 March 2013, by siawi3

  Coordinated blasts killed at least 25 people in the heart of Baghdad on Thursday. The brazen attacks in broad daylight will fan concerns about Iraq’s fragile security, which has come under growing strain as the increasingly sectarian conflict in neighboring Syria threatens to upset its own Sunni-Shia balance.
