Tirebiter Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) The Prophet's birthday? I thought that was the reason given for the "holiday". Edited February 4, 2012 by Tirebiter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmersDaughter Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 I think I read on this forum that they moved a religious holiday that was going to be next weekend forward a week to this weekend. Probably just their religious holiday. Wish it was something else!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markinsa Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 I just saw a brief news clip, with what looked like a news anchor, and there was a picture of dinar and US Dollars on a big screen behind him while he was talking...

smee2 Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 I don''t think this is anything unusual. They dance in the streets and sing for almost any reason they can come up with. It is usually some religious event, not always a holiday either. They will have an evening block party just for some "saint's day" type of celebration, though of course they don't have saints. But you get the idea. Unless we get some news item claiming it to be something worthwhile I wouldn't worry about it. Just people dancing and singing and trying to have at least a partly normal life in a place where life is anything but normal. smee2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markinsa Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Really? With the dinar and dollar? REALLY?????????? Yep, it was like, when I'm watching a late Basketball or Football game the news breaks in during a break in the game to give news updates. I think this may be a version of Iraqi Idol or Iraq's Got Talent! The music is KILLING ME! - 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyboy42 Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 It's not the religious holiday they're celebrating... Shabs just received his BIG RED EASY BUTTON that he'd ordered from Staples. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catone Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 This IS the beginning of the celebration of Muhammed (the prophet's) birthday...........his actual birthday is March 12 and I've been wondering why they're celebrating NOW. I've been looking for that other clip that everyone wanted to know what they were talking about in that meeting and can't find it again, but right after someone posted it, I asked my nephew to give me an idea of what was being said. (He is studying Arabic and Farsi, as he wants to apply for a job with the FBI after he graduates from college, with a Criminal Justice degree). Anyway -- he told me that the gist of that clip was that it was a meeting with financial people, Saleh and Shabibi were discussing dropping the zeroes from their currency. They also discussed raising the value of the dinar, and said it would come very suddenly, like "the old Saddam" currency. They also said that they were waiting for permission to do it form "higher-ups(?)". Then they interviewed some of the people in that meeting about their plans. The last person they talked to (he was wearing glasses) is Mudher, who gave a press conference himself a couple of days later. The clip was from January 25. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a Nebraska pro football team, because if there was Minnesota would want one too! :lol: I think the odds are much better on an RV then the Vikequeens ever even getting another chance to play in a super bowl!
