SUICIDE BOMBERS V. SUICIDE VOTERS
Greetings Friends,
I bow in respect and awe to the men and women of our people who, armed only with faith and hope are going to the polls under the very real threats of being blown to pieces. These are the real braves; not the miserable creatures of hate who are attacking one of the noblest things that has ever happened to us. Have you ever seen anything like this? Iraq will be O.K. with so many brave people, it will certainly O.K.; I can say no more just now; I am just filled with pride and moved beyond words. People are turning up not only under the present threat to polling stations but also under future threats to themselves and their families; yet they are coming, and keep coming. Behold the Iraqi people; now you know their true metal. We shall never forget the meanness of these bas…s. After this is over there will be no let up, they must be wiped out. It is our duty and the duty of every decent human to make sure this vermin is no more and that no more innocent decent people are victimized.
My condolences to the Great American people for the tragic recent losses of soldiers. The blood of Iraqis and Americans is being shed on the soil of Mesopotamia; a baptism with blood. A baptism of a lasting friendship and alliance, for many years to come, through thick and thin, we shall never forget the brave soldiers fallen while defending our freedom and future.
This is a very hurried message, while we are witnessing something quite extraordinary. I myself have voted and so did members of my family. Thank God for giving us the chance.

This one really captures the moment of all the pain the Iraqi's have gone through for decades to reach this day, a powerful moment.

We face in this world those who wish to divide people based on religion, culture, and race, I reject this and at the end of the day free people reject such ideas when they are given the opportunity. We shall celebrate today but must work hard tomorrow and harder the next and even harder in the days to come. With that I say bring it on...Freedom that is.

Look at these pictures carefully folks. No hooded beheaders. No violent video tapes. Who are the real brave heros of the Muslim world? Who most represents you?

incredibly brave of the iraqis. in pakistan polls are hardly half this full and we usually dont have bombs going off around us. inshallah, if the counting is fair, then the turnout ensures that people would have elected not some figurehead acting at the behest of foreign powers but a genuinely representative, most probably cleric influenced premier.
the americans can earn Iraqi and a lot of Muslim goodwill if in the next few weeks no ugliness occurs as far as the emergence of puppet leaders is concerned, and if the next elected leader is allowed to tell americans they've outstayed their welcome.

The Democratic Dominos have begun to fall. Congratulations to those brave people who stared down their sore loser terrorist compratriots. The vote did more damage to the terrorist cause than a thousand daisy cutters.

I just met an Iraqi while I was out doing chores, I went specially to see this muslim sunni brother. He lost his house in Fallujah, even he was happy and had voted. All ah (swt) give them more power. More Power.

The power of democracy cannot be slowed by bombs, either from the sky or on the roadside. Islamists will never understand why democracy is so important.

the U.S is far more concerned with making a clean exit as soon as possible, plans for installing a “puppet” gov’t have not seen any type of fruition…the elected gov’t will most likely be an Islamic party with pro-Iran tendencies, not a U.S lackey. the majority will finally be in power for a change.
