Anyway, for today I decided to repost something I received through my work e-mail account. I've actually been meaning to do this update (as in, an update about this thing, not the July 28 update) for about four months, I'm simply very lazy. So, in the fashion established when I mocked this disaster area, I will now present to you something that is almost retarded enough to cause anyone viewing it to, by simply association, also become retarded.
IRAQ - VERY INTERESTING - DID YOU KNOW?
These aren't things to be "known" - that implies some degree of factuality. These are basically pieces of bullshit nonsense that someone might believe, but aren't to be known.

1. The garden of Eden was in Iraq.
The Garden of Eden, if it is an actual physical location (as opposed to, as some theologians claim, basically a suburb of heaven), may have existed in the region of modern day Iraq, true. This does not mean that it "was in Iraq". The country wouldn't even exist until circa 1919.

2. Mesopotamia, which is now Iraq, was the cradle of civilization!
What could this possibly have to do with anything? Africa was the birthplace of the modern human - how does this even slightly influence modern African states?
3. Noah built the ark in Iraq.
4. The Tower of Babel was in Iraq.
IRAQ DIDN'T EXIST! The Tower of Babel was supposedly located in Babylon - in Babylonia or Persia! Just because the native Americans lived in the region now called the United States doesn't mean that their accomplishments happened in the US!

5. Abraham was from Ur, which is in Southern Iraq!
I can't technically argue with this one on the grounds given above, since Ur really is located in Southern Iraq, and Abraham is supposed to have come from Ur - though there's some dispute as to whether this refers to Ur, Urfa, or Urkesh.

6. Isaac's wife Rebekah is from Nahor, which is in Iraq.
She is, is she? You know, there's this funny thing called the past tense which we use when referring to, you know, THINGS IN THE PAST. Besides, Nahor was Rebekah's grandfather, not something in Iraq. Cretin.

7. Jacob met Rachel in Iraq.
Not Iraq. Persia, maybe. Chaldea or Sumeria, maybe. Babylon, maybe. Iraq - and just let me stress this point - is about 85 years old. Not 8500. Not even 850. 85. The timeline's a bit off there.

8. Jonah preached in Nineveh - which is in Iraq.
And so? It's in Iraq now....

9. Assyria, which is in Iraq, conquered the ten tribes of Israel.
Assyria? What, you mean the Kingdom of Assyria? That kingdom which hasn't existed for 2600 years? There's a distinct difference between the Kingdom of Assyria and the modern region of Assyria.

10. Amos cried out in Iraq!
Much as I'm doing now, only in the great nation of Hunting Grounds of the Cherokee!

11. Babylon, which is in Iraq, destroyed Jerusalem.
Babylon the city has been ruinous for 2150 years. Babylon the empire hasn't existed for 2330 years. The empire, with capital at the city, did destroy Jerusalem; but the city, which is what is in Iraq, did not destroy it. Your grasp of geography and part-to-whole relationships is lacking for someone trying to expound factual information.

12. Daniel was in the lion's den in Iraq!
13. The three Hebrew children were in the fire in Iraq (Jesus had
been in Iraq also as the fourth person in the fiery furnace!)
14. Belshazzar, the King of Babylon saw the "writing on the wall" in
Iraq.
Not. Iraq. Maybe - maybe - Jesus, since he's a time-travelling superwarrior from the year 207X.

15. Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, carried the Jews captive into Iraq.
No. No no no. BABYLON. He was the KING OF BABYLON. YOU SAID IT YOURSELF. How can you possibly continue being so wrong? Do you just lack the ability to distinguish between political and geographic regions? Were you dropped on your head into a can of leaded paint as a baby?

16. Ezekiel preached in Iraq.
17. The wise men were from Iraq.
18. Peter preached in Iraq.
You know the drill. Political regions are not geographic regions.

19. The "Empire of Man" described in Revelation is called Babylon, which was a city in Iraq!
Oh wow! What a retarded connection to make!

And you have probably seen this one. Israel is the nation most often mentioned in the Bible. But do you know which nation is second? It is Iraq! However, that is not the name that is used in the Bible. The names used in the Bible are Babylon, Land of Shinar, and Mesopotamia. The word Mesopotamia means between the two rivers, more exactly between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. The name Iraq, means country with deep roots.
How does this make sense to you? The reason Iraq is not referenced by name in the Bible is because IT ISN'T REFERENCED IN THE BIBLE. These other names refer to fundamentally different states which existed in roughly the same geographic region!

Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible. No other nation, except Israel, has more history and prophecy associated it than Iraq.
Besides, that is, every other nation (and that's kind of the wrong word to use there) which has been around more than 85 years. Even the US has more history and prophecy associated with it! If you want to talk about a region, use the word "region".

And also.. This is something to think about! Since America is typically represented by an eagle. Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages...
The best part about that last sentence is that this "Koranic passage" doesn't exist in the Koran. It's utterly fabricated. Whoever wrote this should have read up on his Not Being A Retard passages.

The following verse is from the Koran, (the Islamic Bible)
Koran (9:11) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace.
(Note the verse number!) Hmmmmmmm?! God Bless you all Amen !
I'd prefer it if Allah - no, wait, if SHIVA - blessed me! Or Odin, God of Thunder and trees! It's true because I used the name Odin!

I BETTER NOT HEAR OF ANYONE BREAKING THIS ONE OR SEE DELETED This is a ribbon for soldiers fighting in Iraq. Pass it on to everyone and pray. Something good will happen to you tonight at 11:11 PM. This is not a joke. Someone will either call you or will talk to you online and say that they love you. Do not break this chain. Send this to 13 people in the next 15 minutes. Go.
And then, as the capstone of this whole shameful mess, there's this paragraph. This isn't just rife with ludicrously wrong statements, it's also a chain letter which is even vaguely threatening! I BETTER NOT HEAR OF ANYONE ENJOYING THIS OR SEE HAPPY
