Baghdad – Iraq suicide killers
Baghdad (Arabic: بغداد Baġdād, Persian: بغداد) , meaning “Given by God (in Persian)”, is the capital of Iraq and of Baghdad Governorate, with which it is coterminous. Having a municipal population estimated between 5 and 7.5 million, it is the largest city in Iraq and one of the two largest in the Arab World (including Cairo). Located on the River Tigris, the city dates back to the 8th century and was once the centre of the Muslim world [1].
Baghdad was founded in the 8th century following an Arab victory over a larger Persian army. Baghdad was the seat of the Abbasid caliphate from the 9th to the 13th centuries. During this era, it became the center of Islamic learning and international trade. Modern Iraqis proudly look back to this period as the golden age of Islamic civilization. Baghdad was one of the three seats of provincial Ottoman rule, and was maintained as a Sunni buffer against the Shia Safavid Empire in Iran. With more than 5 million people, Baghdad is the largest and most diverse city in Iraq. It is approximately 70% Shia. It is home to many important religious and cultural sites dating to the Abbasid period, including shrines of great Imams such as Sheik al-Ghailani, who established the Sufi order al-Qadiriya, and Imam al-A’dham, who developed Islamic jurisprudence [2].
The Holocaust – Shoah
In the history of the Jews, assault of Germany, as the strongest economic, military and cultural power of Europe, from 1933 to 1945, has changed the route of the political path of the world. During the Nazi Regime of Germany, Jews were exposed to cruelties and 6 million Jews were deported and killed during the Adolf Hitler tyranny period. Germany declared judenrein (clean of Jews) on 1943 and 180 000 to 200 000 Jews were killed according to statistics. Those who survived during the period left the country and found new places to live. Palestine was the main route for the surviver Jews and excessive immigrations was performed to Palestine with the hope of having own land of Jews. The holocaust had many impacts onto politics of coming times and still its impacts are obvious onto relations of many countries, and especially in the region of the Middle East. Jerusalem, as a precious city of most-believed religions, is still a reason for conflicts in Middle East and the immigration of Jews to Palestine land began after the holocaust.
