The Iraqi Parliament

USPA NEWS - As a prelude , I would like to identify the popular proverb i.e. (The Nobles of Rome)as per my knowledge which applies completely with the members of the Iraqi Parliament .
In the thirties of the past century, there were no theatres nor large halls in which plays are performed.
At that time, the Lebanese artist Mr. George Abyadh,who was one of the pioneers of the Arab theater at that time ,decided to visit Baghdad and introduce his famous play (Julius Caesar ).For this purpose, the artist George Abyadh, took with him to Iraq as a company, a few actors as extra performers for the purpose of reducing the expenses of the travel and costs of accommodation.
As mentioned before and due to the lack of stages and theaters in Baghdad, the artist George Abyadh chose the largest Cafe in Baghdad in a filthy slum named Almeedan in Baghdad for displaying the play ,
But the problem lied in the question of how to recruit the extra actors considering that any Iraqi would refuse to perform the role of extra actor “¦
Consequently, a group of Iraqis advised the artist George Abyadh to hire some of those jobless men in the Meedan slum for the sake of performing the role of the extras .It is worth mentioning Meedan slum at that time was famous among Iraqis as it embraces the scum of the society such as thieves , pickpockets and pimps as well as those who drink alcohol abundantly and loiter in the street in front of the passersby.
Indeed, for filling the shortage of extras ,the artist George had to choose a group among those ramblers in Meedan slum and gave very little amount for each against they perform the extras. Thus they dressed with clothes depicting them as Nobles of Rome and putting hoops of jasmine on their heads to show as if they are Nobles of Rome.
At the day of the theatrical show , the café was full of the audience particularly the inhabitants of the Meedan slum
When the scene started in which the janitor of the Emperor calls loudly:
Now the Nobles of Rome move forward to cast the salutation to his Majesty the Emperor .Now , since those nobles are the scum of the Meedan slum, the public started to launch laughter and mockery with loud screams condemning those scums.A case of rampage and noise prevailed in the cafe and the audience started protesting: Who is he? This is Ammar the thief ,it is incredible!
Also ,who is that! Salam ,the liar! Also who is this one! He is the son of Usam whose father is a thief and killer!!!!!!
The people shouted: get down, you the thieves ,the liars and ramblers, Munaf get down, how did you become a Noble of Rome.
Thus, the same case applied to others.
Here is the linkage between those thieves, imposers and corrupts and between the members of the Iraqi parliament particularly when we watch them at the TV channels also and similarly we shout :Who is this?,is it Saleem Al Joubory,the speaker of the parliament, the Thieve ! Who is this?is it Mohammed Al Karbouly who stole the wealth of the displaced people in the desert!
Wow!incredible!Look and see the MP lady Alya Nisayif took off the shoes in the parliament and hit her fellows. It is not logical : the forgery of Mohammed Al Halbousy and so on“¦..This is the MP Ali Al Allaq,with turban,
The swindler who steals and lies and deceives the citizens through the dress of religion.328 MPs in the Iraqi parliament are imposers and thieves and corrupts residing in the corrupt Iraqi parliament. All of them turned into Nobles of Rome. They pass a bill preventing the sale of alcoholic drinks under the pretext of being illegal !But do you absorb and understand the meaning of legal and illegal?
Did you recognize the legal and illegal when you passed the law of your retirement or the law of your protection or the diplomatic passports for your own?
Did you recognize the meaning of legal and illegal? Why do you prohibit alcohol? It is a personal freedom and many people like the drinking of alcohol! Are you Muslims and try to apply the Islamic religion? The Islamic religion gave the freedom to everyone in the world to act what he wishes. Even the faith in God and the lack of faith ,it is considered as a personal freedom guaranteed by the Islamic religion and the constitution as well. How do you claim the legal and illegal while you prohibit alcohol? and How?
A witness from among you namely MP Mr. Fayiq Al Sheikh Ali declared and testified days ago that some of the Islamic parties own gambling parlors. Furthermore some political blocs with the Islamic approach are in charge of the cabarets and nightclubs in Baghdad and even their murderous militias protect them.So what is your position as regards the prohibition of alcohol and the symphony of legal and illegal!
Do you know that at the era of Prophet Mohammad there was a man called Abdulla who was accustomed permanently to drink alcohol.At one day a man of Prophet Mohammad group said to him: the guy who sips wine is cursed? Prophet Mohammed replied saying: Do not curse him nor abuse him as long as he loves God and his messenger. This is Islam and this is the messenger of God and these are the values of the legal and illegal. Who are you ,the irreligious ,to impose the legality and illegality while you eat, drink and live illegally !
At last and not least: Parliament of Iraq represents : The Nobles of Rome.
