Salam aleikum

”Baghdad Blogger” – tidigare känd som Salaam Pax – om skillnaden mellan USA- och UK-kontrollerade områden i Irak:
”The next thing was getting into Basra and being stopped at the checkpoint. One soldier in a floppy hat waving his hand for you to slow down, and when you lower the window he actually greets you with ”al salamu alaikum”. That got him some appreciative giggles – imagine that happening in Baghdad. Everybody here in Basra is so much more laid back, even after the incidents in al-Majar al-Kabir. To their credit they didn’t decide to punish the whole population and clamp down on them.”
