Description

"For once I myself saw with my own eyes the Sibyl at Cumae hanging in a cage and when the boys said to her "Sibyl, what do you want? she replied, I want to die". T.S.Elliote; "The Waste land"

I was born in Thi-Qar (Al-Nasseria) south of Iraq map, a 7000 years old historical city. Thi-Qar is just few miles away from Ur where Abraham, the father of all religions, was born and lived. In this city the first human civilization was created by the Sumerians. Sumer, where writing, calculus and philosophy started and triggered the development in the human society, is just 30 km from Thi-Qar.

However, my grand fathers came from the Arabic peninsula, they were the posterity of the prophet Mohammed from his daughter Fatima and his cousin Ali ben Abi-Talib. Al-Hussain ben Ali ben Abi-Talib, who scarified his life for the sake of justice, freedom and faith, is the third grandfather in our family pedigree.
