A Big Noise camera spent a summer in Sadr City and brought back these video clips.

Sadr City is a small neighborhood in Baghdad that holds over half the city's population. It was the center of Shi'a resistance to Saddam's regime, the Northern epicenter of the two Shi'a intifadahs, and is now the stronghold of Moqtada Al Sadr's Mehdi Army.

wow, really fantastic video. it brought back times i lived in egypt and jordan strongly. thanks for posting. one thing: i counted exactly 2 females the whole video. islamic culture needs to free their women. when this happens i might find i can truely respect it. until then muqtada al-sadr is no ones friend and never forget it. the american side in this war is entirely unconscionable, but what islamic societies do to women is as well. i really wish they would learn. and i really wish we would learn. i wish we would learn together. i can hope.
