I am an Iraqi on my father’s side. He has many stories of Jewish teachers and family friends without any difficulty. Thank you.

As a Muslim, it’s hard not to get caught up in the madness and resort to generalizations. Thank God I check myself, but gentle doves like this cute grandfather are good reminders of the beautiful humanity that exists everywhere.

Love Avi Shlaim. I first saw him interviewed in a documentary about Norman Finkelstein and thought he was wonderful. Now I am seeking him out in all interviews. He is so calm, dignified, warm and honest. I am going to buy his book Three Worlds. What an admirable and humble man.

The British government should be held accountable for the mess they left behind.

I am proud of my Iraqi Jewish brothers. It's a wonderful party when we visit each other. The genuine respect, language, beautiful food and hospitality is first class. It doesn't take much to literally descend into tears of laughter either. But unfortunately they're a dying species and the brood of vipers don't want love, peace, prosperity, happiness, freedom or truth for any human being. Regardless of religion, Jews are part our family and defended at all costs.<br><br>Much love from a Muslim Lebanese ❤

The Iraqi Jews played a pivotal role in the Iraqi traditional music. Singers like Salima Murad Pasha and lengendary composer Saleh Ezra Ben Yaqub (known as Saleh El Kwaiti) were and still are shining icons of Iraqi music. Salima Murad refused to leave Iraq for Israel and stayed in Baghdad until she passed away in 1974. Her songs and her powerful distinct vocal were phenomenal.

This is the calmest and well mannered man. I could listen to him speak all day.

Avi Shlaim has such a sweet and gentle energy that I just want to hug him and thank him for showing me that real human decency truly does still exist in humanity.
