"All posts
given to Shiite elements, starting with the position of Minister to that of
Deputy Minister, ambassador, director-general, governor, chief of police, mayor
and others … were awarded based on lists provided by Tehran and
cross-referenced with lists of people working with the coalition [the U.S. and
its partners]. All names were checked in terms of history and absolute loyalty
to Iran, and in light of these results, these
individuals were given these posts."
It seems that Iraqi culture has become
a prisoner of Islamic political terrorist groups. After former Minister of
Culture Asad Al-Hashemi
fled [a Sunni ],
Jaber Al-Jabri, who
formerly bore the name Mudin al-Musawi,
assumed the post of Culture Minister. He's a member of the Supreme Islamic
Iraqi Council , which was
established by Iranian intelligence during the war against Iraq [1980-1988], and
which was tasked with missions of spying, torture, the execution of the
captured Iraqi soldiers and participating in the war against Iraq as a state -
and not against the regime of Saddam Hussein!
It is known that all the posts given to Shiite elements,
starting with the position of Minister to that of Deputy Minister, ambassador,
director-general, governor, chief of police, mayor and others ... all of these
were awarded based on lists provided by Tehran and cross-referenced with lists
of people working with the coalition [the U.S. and its partners]. All names
were checked in terms of history and absolute loyalty to Iran
and in light of these results, the individuals were awarded these positions.
And when Jaber Al-Jabri was appointed Deputy Minister of Culture ... it was
not a random appointment ... Iranian planners are working quietly behind the
scenes to “Persianize” Iraqi culture, seeking to
undermine the Arabic national identity of Iraq.
Al-Jabri was put into this position to implement that
plan and under the pretext of nationalism and opposing Baathism
[opposing support for Saddam's political party], has begun his activities of
attacking everything that has anything to do with Iraqi and Arabic culture.
Iraqi Finance
Minister Bayan Jabr Solagh: Is he and other Shiites in Iraq's government
Iranian tools seeking to undermine Arab culture?
In the name of "Islamic
culture," Iran is seeking to penetrate and poison Iraq's national culture by suggesting that those who produced
Arab culture were Persians, rather than "camel-riding Arabic
Bedouins." Such were the comments of Finance Minister BayanJabrSolagh, when he attacked
the Saudi Foreign Minister. Solagh, who as Finance
Minister is a colleague of Culture Minister Al-Jabri,
is also on the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council!
[Editor's Note: In 2005, in giving a tongue-lashing to Saudi
Foreign Minister, Prince Saud Al-Faisal, the
then-Iraqi Finance Minister, BayanJabrSolagh, was quoted by The New York Sunas saying, "Iraq is heir to an ancient
civilization and does not need advice from a Bedouin riding a camel." This
was a grave insult to utter to the Saudi prince, since Saudi
Arabia considers itself the heart of Arab
culture].
When Al-Jabri took up the post
Culture Minister, the ministry began speaking openly and publicly about the
superiority of Persian culture, especially in regard to the Iraqi cinema and
other areas. This diversion is part of a systematic process of normalizing and
polishing Iran’s
image within Iraq.
Jaber Al-Jabri
(formerly Mudin Al-Musawi)
once lived in Iran.
Then he moved to Syria
and Lebanon
where Iran
assigned him the task of publishing a cultural magazine the intent of which was
to penetrate Iraqi cultural centers in Syria
and Lebanon
along with other countries, for the purpose of marketing and popularizing
Persian culture.
Al-Jabri’s actions in Beirut
won the disapproval and censure of Iraqis for threatening, intimidating and
blackmailing Iraqi intellectuals with the help of Lebanese Hezbullah,
which is controlled by Iran.
What's more, Al-Jabri has a fake
doctorate which he obtained for money from a Lebanese university!
With people like Habib Al-Sadr responsible for media networks and Jaber
Al-Jabri overseeing the Ministry of Culture, does this
not suggest the decline and deliberate destruction of Iraqi culture?!
I so
admire the writings of KhadirTaahar!
This writer raves with such frankness and clarity, and never shies away from
shocking the reader with his contrarian beliefs - whether he (the reader) be
left-wing, right-wing or independent. For him, all that matters is that the
reader be an Iraqi. Why? Because regardless of their
religious denominations or particular beliefs, Iraqis are uncomfortable with
the international brand known as the “United States
of America.”
To say:
“They are uncomfortable” in a polite and civilized way is not to sat: “They
hate or are resentful,” since I don’t wish to annoy KhadirTaahar - who is more American than the Americans and
even more than Bush, Cheney, Rice or Gates. He is more part of the American
intelligence apparatus than the men of CIA and more Jewish than the Jews
(remember his Kitabat article from April 15th 2007, in which he called for
establishing friendly relations with Israel so that it could take part in
rebuilding Iraq!)
I like
the work of this writer because he isn’t ashamed or embarrassed to express his
ideas and political views clearly and honestly and he isn’t afraid of critics
of his writings. Nor does he feel the need to respect the feelings of other
Iraqis, who take umbrage at his favorite leaders, the Americans, who have
inflicted death, destruction and ruin upon them in the service of Israel and
her future security, and at their hands of Washington’s creation, the
terrorists, who came from abroad at the behest of their [Iraqi] allies and
advisers from the former regime.
