We hope the end to your suffering is near and we pray for their safety. The suffering of the Iraqis has touched the lives of millions on the net both at home and abroad. For those who would like a token of remembrance, feel free to place these ribbons on your pages and to pass them on to friends and colleagues. For the many who already show their ribbons proudly, thank you. The Challenge of Conversation The Courage to Listen Fall 2003 In October, two Iraqi women scholars, AMAL AL-KHEDAIRY and NERMIN AL-MUFTI, will begin a remarkable tour of the United States, offering the American public a rare opportunity to listen to and interact with informed Iraqi women who passionately want to dispel the assumptions about Iraq, by sharing their personal experiences and extensive knowledge of Iraq’s culture and people Welcome to our online presence at Al BEIT AL IRAQI Cultural Exchange through Crafts A Baghdad Art Center Left in Ashes By DEXTER FILKINS (New York Times) BAGHDAD, Iraq, April 16 — Amal al-Khedairy stood amid the ruins of her elegant waterfront home and cursed the people who had rained the bombs on her. This was a full-throated, almost lunatic fury, sharpened by the Western-educated voice that carried it.

Al Beit Al Iraqi like hundreds of other cultural and historical sites in Iraq has suffered from this Anglo American war during the three week bombardment campaign and was later ransacked during the aftermath of the war. At the moment it is healing itself from the wounds that it suffers and will later be re-open to the public. We, at Al Beit Al Iraqi, urge all organizations who stand firm on the importance of historical heritage and culture, to take a stand and interfere and demand the governments of the UK and USA to protect Iraq and its cultural heritage. This is their legal and moral responsibility, in accordance with the Geneva conventions which identifies the role of the occupying army to save the heritage of the occupied lands. We meanwhile continue our online services as earlier.

Kurdish woven textiles from wool (goat or sheep) usually used for men clothes. Softer types (either in red or black), embroidered in colourful floral designs are worn by women over the dress in diagonal scheme, buckled on their shoulder as a protection from the harsh winter of the north (locally called as “Charookas”). Chaldean villages produce Charookas of other designs related to the village where they come from. As for the midsouth, as in the religious city of Najaf and Amara, they produce another woven material called Darjeh used as textile for men garments (Aba’eh). Usually it is pure wool and in Natural colours of black, beige, brown, light grey and white. Two types of textile are produced, winter – thick and warm, and summer - of finer, transparent thread. The edges of the textile are woven with golden or pure silk threads. It is a well known all over the Arab world as the “Najafiyeh”. --------------------- - BACK TO INDEX - REPLY - QUOTE - EDIT - DELETE -
