Saw it every year while I was over there. Just found this ... how do they get "trashed" .. curious? 2642. Drinking alcoholic beverage is haraam, and in some traditions (Ahadith), it has been declared as among the greatest sins. Imam Ja'far Sadiq (A.S.) says: "Alcohol is the root of all evils and sins. A person who drinks alcohol loses his sanity. At that time, he does not know Allah (swt), does not fear committing any sin, respects the rights of no one, and does not desist from committing evil openly. The spirit of faith and piety departs from him and only the impure and vicious spirit, which is far off from the Mercy of Allah (swt), remains in his body. Allah (swt), His angels, His prophets and the true believers curse such a man, and his daily prayers are not accepted for forty days. On the Day of Judgement his face will be dark, and his tongue will come out of his mouth, the saliva will fall on his chest and he will desperately complain of thirst".

racbluto Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Even though alcohol is prohibited there is a lot of it there. It gets smuggled in from other countrys, especially Turkey. Same goes for the drug market. Every country in the world has these problems. It seems the more you prohibit or outlaw something the more people will do it. Cultural differences make us seem different but the truth is we are all human and share the same flaws. Bluto~~~~~~~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanssouci Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 It seems the more you prohibit or outlaw something the more people will do it. It's interesting, seeing as this is the idea of the forbidden fruit and we are talking about Iraq, where the Garden of Eden has been suggested to have been.

RobLe Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Here is what I don't get, I have read in a couple of posts that the banks will be closed for up to 5 days. Well, if they have been on a religious holiday for 20 some days, do you think that they will close for another 5 days to celebrate the Eid ul-Fitr (which represents the last day of the Ramadan)? If this is the case, how can anything get done? Doesn't make sense to me that the banks will be closed for up to the next 5 days. Just my thoughts.
