Minarets at Baghdad Shia mosques once again rebuilt
By: Ismail Zabeeh
BAGHDAD, Iraq: Once again minarets at Shia mosques, which were
banned under Saddam regime, are part of the Baghdad skyline.
Speaking to The Washington Times, a shop owner Mahmoud Abbas Al-Malkey
said: "This is a victory over the terrorism of the Ba'ath Party and
the terrorists."
Despot Saddam banned Shia mosques from building minarets because he
feared opponents could use them to keep track of his movements and spy
into his palaces.
Saddam's Mother of all Battles Mosque, built after his defeat in the
Gulf War, features four minarets shaped like AK-47 rifles. The mosque
and its minarets have been left intact as a reminder of his regime.

guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the

get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
