Freedom Matters to Iraqis

That’s right, freedom matters. The New York Times posted an article describing how violence – spurred on by Islamic clerics – have left young people in Iraq disillusioned with religious leaders and ready for a change.

“I hate Islam and all the clerics because they limit our freedom every day and their instruction became heavy over us,” said Sara, a high school student in Basra. “Most of the girls in my high school hate that Islamic people control the authority because they don’t deserve to be rulers.”

Well there ya go.
