SocalDinar Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Alcohol Banned in Mosul Basnews English 16/07/2018 - 00:50 Iraq ERBIL — Iraqi authorities have banned alcohol beverages in the northern city of Mosul a year after its liberation from the Islamic State (IS) which had imposed strict Islamic Sharia laws in the city. An unnamed security source told Ghad Press on Sunday that Mosul chief of police issued the ban a day earlier. Overnight on Saturday, several alcohol markets were closed down by the police, the source said. The reason behind the order is not revealed. Similar orders were made last week in Tikrit and Shirgat districts of Salahaddin province. http://www.basnews.com/index.php/en/news/iraq/452035 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karsten Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 I thought muslims weren't allowed to drink and years ago I was told they had compounds where people of say light skin lived where drinking was okay and one could do all sorta of things with say the other sex. It least that was what the Saudi told be when he handed me a ticket to go over and run his father Mercedes Dealership many years ago.

ChuckFinley Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 I see they have some Scotch drinkers there. At least we have a common starting point. We are going to taste a view and debate for an hour or two as to which one we feel has all the best qualities. This will be followed by a two week holiday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth be known the Mormon Compounds are all down south where they get away with polygamy and I don't even want to ask. . Spirits are the least of their worries.

Hotcurl Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Well, this will take Mosul off my must see post RV destinations list. I'm a pretty good tourist , willing to spend some cash and stimulate the local economy. Oh well, too many other places to go and see.

Manti, Cedar City, Moab and all the out lining areas are pretty much hidden compounds.....Hey, I grew up in Manti with my Great Grandparents and the old old was a haven for hiding extra wives......2 Block south of the Temple no less.
