Ah, yes, thanks for reminding me of those precious things! Yes, there were no MacDonalds back then, no malls either. Only the bazaars, Turkish-style chicken-grilling shops where they sold whole chickens, restaurants serving raw (completely raw) onions.

Sheesh kebab was everywhere. Small chai (tea) shops were everywhere, too, in which local men stayed long, playing dominos. On Fridays, when I was off work, I often went all alone walking to central Mosul, where I went to movie houses, chai shops, and small restaurants, ...

Walking around all alone as a Japanese in central Mosul among the locals was quite interesting, but it could be a bit risky sometimes. Homosexuals seemed to be everywhere and they wanted to have sex with me. I cordially declined and they never forced me to or get violent.

Ive always thought salat (Muslim prayer) is symbolically gay. 1st you fold ur hands & bow toward the Master. Then you bend over & wait. Then u get down on all fours with ur face down & ass up. These positions for a man are very submissive & have gay overtones

I did salat. I had memorized the fatiha & that short sura at the end of the Quran. It felt good at the end but would only last for a few minutes. Salat has a hypnotic effect. It's a good brainwashing tool.

Like, how can you be a good Muslim & align yourself with the Sunnis, who massacred the Prophet Muhammad's grandson like that??? But I'm not into beating myself with barbed chains & cutting myself with swords in memory of him, either.

I lived in a midwest US city at the time & I met some Muslims & to me, Islam was all kind of exotic & new. It was like entering another world. So, I checked it out. I'm sure if I had been born into it, I would loathe it, too, just like you do.
