the Qais Qaradaxi (kurd guy) asnwered, for example Forgien mminster is kurd, what specific benefit that has for kurds? they are president or minster for all iraqis, working for iraqi niterest ...thats not benefit only for kurdistan.

the Kurdish guy (Qais Qaradaxi) said "look at baghdad we used to go to baghdad for trips it was a beautiful city, look what maleki has done to baghdad now it is a black hell or a red hell"

The arab guy with peper in his ass talked about corruption Kurdistan , even the program Host stopped him and said
"Sir acording to stastistic kurdistan has better security, less poverty , better living condition and less courruption than all iraq"

Qais Qaradaxi said look at Xaneqin (the kurdish city outside KRG region) which is a Kurdistani City but shias and sonnys are living in peace there the only place that shias and sunnis live in peace together. the racist arab intrrupted him and said it is it not a Kurdish city blah blah


The arab racist guy talked barzani getting weapon from saddam to fight talebani,

@ dyaoko

I love your descriptions

the arabi racist guy with a peper in his ass

YOU made the program sound much more interesting than it probably was

the racist arab intrrupted him and said it (Xaneqin) is not a Kurdish city blah blah

Having never heard of Xaneqin I decided to look it up on internet. Hope you find this interesting.

Wikipedia Extracts
Khanaqin (Kurdish خانه قين,Xaneqîn Arabic خانقين, also transliterated as Khanakin, Xanaqin) is a city in Iraq. It is located at 34.3°N, 45.4°E in the Diyala Governorate, near the Iranian border on a tributary of the Diyala River. Khanaqin is the administrative capital of the Khanaqin District, which comprises several cities, such as As-Sadiyah and Jalula, as well as hundreds of villages. The city is divided into two parts by the Alwand River, this river has played a significant role in land cultivation and in establishment of a strong rural society in the area. The river is considered by the people of Khanaqin as a symbol for their unity and Kurdish identity.

People
The majority of people of the city of Khanaqin are Kurds [2] (although the province of Diyala has an Arab majority) who follow Shia Islam. They speak mainly the Kalhuri branch of southern Kurdish dialects which is Indo-European. These dialects are closely related to each other and called Kermashani or Xanaqini by the locals.

History
The name Du-Khānaqa (دو خانقا) means "Two Sufi Houses" in Kurdish. After the Arab invasion of Kurdistan, the occupiers Arabized many of the local names and also omitted the word du (two) from this name and attached the Arabic suffix of dualis after the name, hence Du-khānaqa became Khānaq-ayn and Khanaqin.

During the Arabization policy of the Iraqi Ba'th regime Sunni Arabs were settled in the city and at least 9,000 feyli were killed and a larger number were forcibly removed and sent to southern Iraq or the Kurdish controlled north.[4] The Iraqi Property Claims Commission has an office in Khanaqin to deal with the land disputes and feylis have been able to return to their homes.

History
In 9/6/2006 all the members of the city council of Khanaqin demanded that the city be separated from the control of the Diyala governorate and be allowed to join the Autonomous Kurdistan region. In December 2007 a referendum was scheduled to be held about adding the city and its district to the Kurdish controlled north. However, this referendum has been postponed for up to six months, and then indefinitely.

Oil Fields
The Naft Khana oil field is capable of producing up to 16,000 barrels per day (2,500 m3/d) of sweet light crude from an oil reserve that is also being tapped by Iran in Naft Shahr. Repairs to the oil plant were completed in March 2006 which restored it to its pre-war condition. The main elements affected were the gas-oil separation facility and the wet crude facility (which separates oil from water). Trucks currently transport oil to the Al Daura refinery in Baghdad. A 20,000-barrel-per-day (3,200 m3/d) oil refinery has been approved for construction in Khanaqin and oil from Naft Khana will be sent there when it is complete. During the seventies of the last century the intensive Arabization- and Deportation-policy of the Iraqi regime Arabs were settled in this oil-rich city and all Kurdish refinery Workers and their only Kurdish Engineer (Mr. Sheik Kader Sheik Rahem Talabani) were deported to West of Iraq.

Talk about using the old fashion zionist card and other delusional arguments.. The guys on SSC must be learning their anti-kurdish attitude from these facist and chauvinist. All i can say is kurdistan will never bow down to chauvinist pressure.
