حقائق عن جامع أم المعارك

[align=center]Saddam's Mosque Of War[/align]

[align=left](CBS) The house Saddam built -- a gleaming mass of white limestone and blue mosaic -- is suffering from an identity crisis.

As CBS News Correspondent Lee Cowan reports, it is a Muslim house of prayer, but it also stands as Saddam's monument to war.

Four of its minarets resemble the barrels of Kalashnikov rifles. Another four look like Scud missiles, and the similarities are not a mistake.

It's called the mosque of the "Mother of all Battles." Saddam Hussein watched it rise from the day the ground was broken on his birthday.

He spared no expense. The reflecting pool rings the dome in the shape of the Arab world. In the middle there is a monument of Saddam's thumbprint with his initials set in gold.

But it is what is beneath one towering minaret that speaks the most of Saddam's passion for immortalizing himself.

Behind an ornate door in an inner sanctum are 650 pages of the Holy Koran, said to be penned in Saddam's own blood.

Care takers of the site treat it like a shrine.

What does this symbolize having the Koran written in Saddam Hussein's own blood?

"He loves his religion," one worshipper says, "and his God."

But perhaps the most stunning thing about the way this mosque celebrates the Gulf War is the lack of celebration of any of the war's victims. Out of all the monuments here, not a single one is dedicated to the 100,000 soldiers Iraq claims were killed. Sacrifice isn't the message here, victory is.

And as Saddam builds even more mosques -- like this one, he boasts will be the largest in the world -- his people remain in abject poverty.

He may well want religion to be his legacy, but a ruthless hand may be too hard to forget.

أسم هذا الجامع يؤكد حقيقة هذه الحقائق وليس غريباً أن تحتوي منارات هذا الجامع على صواريخ سكود ورشاشات كلاشنكوف .
جعل هدام كل شي ساحة حرب حتى الجوامع ثم آوى الى حفرته القذره ..

اشياء خطيرة إضافية عن جامع أم المعارك

[align=center][align=left]Mosque that thinks it's a missile site

Building programme shores up Saddam's power against rising Islamism and US threat [/align]

Looked at face-on, the minarets of the Umm al-Ma'arik mosque in Baghdad are much like any others in the Middle East. But seen side on, they resemble Scud missiles sitting on launch-pads.

The Iraqi government, extremely sensitive about religious matters, denies that Saddam had the four minarets built as a tribute to the Scuds he launched against Israel during the 1991 Gulf war. But a close look round the mosque suggests the link is not as fanciful as it might seem.

The huge blue-and-white mosque, completed in April last year in time for Saddam's birthday, is replete with references to the war and Saddam. Umm al-Ma'arik is translated by Iraqis as the Mother of All Battles mosque, Saddam's description of the 1991 Gulf war.

Dahar Alani, a custodian of the Mother of All Battles mosque, said the Scud-style minarets were each 43 metres high to mark the "43 days of US aggression". Another minaret was 37 metres high, to represent the year of Saddam's birth, 1937.

One of the most remarkable links with Saddam can be found inside the mosque, where 605 pages of the Koran are laid out in glass cases.


The custodian said the entire text was written in Saddam's blood, which had been mixed with ink and preservatives, producing a red and brown colour with a tinge of blue. "He dedicated 24 litres of blood over three years," Mr Alani said. The calligraphy was the work of an Iraqi artist, Abas al-Baghadi.

In the middle of the mosque is a pool shaped like the Arab world - "Water has no political boundaries," Mr Alani said - and in the middle of the pool is a 24ft- wide mosaic blob: Saddam's thumbprint. Inside the thumbprint is a magnified version of Saddam's signature.

The mosque is one of three being built by Saddam in Baghdad. The Arahman mosque is due to be finished in two years and the Saddam mosque in 2015. The skeleton of the Saddam mosque is already up and it will be the third biggest in the world after Mecca and Medina.

According to Mr Alani, the Saddam mosque will be a replica of the Mother of All Battles mosque but five times bigger.

After years in which Saddam concentrated on building extravagant presidential palaces at a time when most of the population were suffering the deprivations caused by international sanctions, he has now switched to mosque-building.

Megalomania


Initially, it looks like another manifestation of Saddam's megalomania, but there is a deeper motivation: a fear of the influence of Iranian fundamentalism that has led to an increased Islamisation of Iraq.

Saddam, a Sunni Muslim, had a relaxed attitude towards religion, at least when he was younger. His Ba'ath party was - and may still be - secular.

In 1980, the year after Saddam came to power, Gavin Young, in his book Iraq, wrote: "Iraq is, of course, a Muslim country, but the Iraqi view is that anyone should be free to choose the manner of his social life, and although the great majority of Iraqis do not touch liquor, those who like it are allowed to enjoy it in a variety of city restaurants and hotel bars." That remained the case until recently.

Ihsan al-Hassan, a professor of sociology at Baghdad University, offered a simple explanation of Saddam's mosque-building: "As Saddam grows older, his attitude to religion changes. He goes back to religion." But he said there was a wider problem: Saddam was "trying to hold back the tide from Iran and Saudi Arabia. Iran accuses Iraq of being godless. To show that he cares, Saddam builds mosques and takes other measures."

Saddam has been forced to make a string of concessions to Islam. Alcohol is available in some shops but there are no bars in Iraq. The number of women with their heads covered by scarves, particularly in the countryside, has grown in the past two years.

A government-sponsored "Back to the Faith" campaign began about a decade ago but it is being pursued with more vigour now. Talent competitions, with big cash prizes by Iraqi standards, are held for the best chanters of the Koran. A recent decree banned western names from shop fronts.

Iraq has both Shia Muslims, the majority, and Sunnis, to whom Saddam belongs. Officials are touchy about the division, insisting that they are all Muslims, though Shias have been persecuted. There is another division in Iraqi society: while the devout welcome the mosque-building, others privately complain that the money should be spent on schools and hospitals.

At Friday prayers at the Mother of All Battles mosque, the voice of Sheikh Abdul Gaffer al-Khasi booms out, praising a Palestinian woman suicide bomber. Later, at the Saddam University of Science and Religion, where he is assistant head, the sheikh offered two reasons for the building programme: "The construction of more mosques in Iraq is on the orders of his excellency, Saddam Hussein, because he believes that the power of human beings comes from religion," he said. The other reason was more mundane: an increase in population meant there was a need for more places of worship.

Was it not incongruous that a place of worship should have as its themes war and the personality cult of Saddam? "It is a jihad situation," he said. "There is no political meaning. It is religious. Every believer has to go to war to stop the US."

At Baghdad University, Mr Hassan predicted the rise in Islam would prove to be temporary. "As a sociologist, I do not think it will last. It is something that happens in time of trouble."

Faced with an economic blockade and a threat of war, people turn to religion for moral and psychological support, he said. [/align]
