A Muslim businessman has erected an 85-foot Christmas tree in Baghdad in a sign of solidarity with Christians during the festive season.

Yassir Saad spent $24,000 (£19,000) on the artificial tree, which has a diameter of 33ft (10m), to help Iraqis “forget their anguish” over the war against Isis.

Iraqi forces are continuing to battle insurgent Isis fighters in Mosul, the group's last major stronghold in the country. 
Saba Ismael, a visitor to the theme park where the tree has been displayed, said it “represents love and peace“.

“I wish all Iraqi Christians could return to Iraq and live normal and peaceful lives,” she said.

Iraq’s Christian community has been persistently persecuted since the US-led invasion of the country in 2003.
In 2014, Isis stormed into northern Iraq, taking control of Mosul, Iraq's second-largest and once most diverse city.
Extremists marked Christian houses with the Arabic equivalent of the letter “N” for the derogatory term Nazarene and issued threatening ultimatums to leave the city or face death or forced conversion to Islam.

An estimated 20 or 30 Christians are thought to remain in the city. Some have been able to return to communities neighbouring Mosul; however, many have found their homes destroyed or ransacked.

Lovely thing to do.

Why are all the shadows not the same scale?


A couple of people have shadows that are 1.5 times the length of their bodies... while others have shadows half the size...

Oh good grief, hey everyone, Tommy is going down the 'photoshopped' road again.   Fuck off Tommy you bloody idiot.

He doesn't even get photoshopping right! If you wanted to photoshop this image, you'd be inserting the Christmas tree into a stock photo of that area.

   NO WAYYYY, that man dared to do that 2 years in a row  

WTH is he thinking?  
Oh, maybe that X-mas happens the same time every YEAR!  

The article says the authorities put it up...

TYPICAL "Tommy the (self declared) Genius" antics...

Parachuting into any threads concerning Muslims,  without even checking the context..


And once again proving to everyone else that he doesn't even know what PhotoShop is.    

His usage of the term reminds me of thise who use "hoover" as a verb interchangeable with the verb (to..)vacuum..

Fucking hell Tommy.

So nothing about the link i posted with tweets and pictures of tree from 2015 then...!?

And that it said authorities had put it up...

The link I posted says it was there in 2015 and authority organised and funded... just as the fireworks were that they put on too...


Nothing about any businessman putting up any of his own personal cash!

     Ah, Sherlock ...get right on that!  And since this has become your Burning Butt issue, why not contact the Park and get to the bottom of your 'NEED TO KNOW' ...then bring your own linked/factual printed information back in here for all of us to pick apart like a primate with nits! 

We are quite able to do just that ...this was just a 'feel good' article about a man doing something that he wanted to with his $$$; something that perhaps the park wasn't going to waste their limited man hours and funds on but this gentleman thought it worth the community spirit to keep up the holiday tree!    
But your spinning it into yet another 'anti-Muslin' - hidden agenda/fakery/trashing debacle is as always ...what you do best!

Another fake pro Muslim propaganda story has been rumbled...


But if you read the real story here... it is that the hundreds of thousands of Christians in Iraq have been systematically persecuted and killed and driven out by the Muslims to an all time low number remaining there!!!


But don't let the truth get in the way of a good bit of bullshit... Maybe hide it behind a big fuckin fake tree or something...

All you troll asslickin muslam lovuz will regret it sune, they will bite the hand that feedz them, you will all be sorry.

Another real goose story without substance.

I wonder how many of you trolls are ACTUALLY Muslims?????

Maybe - just maybe ...we all are and you've fallen through the rabbit hole and landed right smack dab in the middle of your worst nightmare

Now don't go shitting your little boy tidy-whities but you aren't a PURE RACE that you think you are!  WE ALL ARE A HEINZ 57 {aka MUTT} version of humanity, despite your ASSumptions that you are divinely chosen to 'RULE THE WORLD'   
Get a grip, you reflect the worst of humanity and it's a stench that wont' wash off!
