Here's more proof that the democratization of Iraq, that exercise in American altruism that destroyed Iraq and bankrupted America, remains a work in progress.
Hide those Green Day CD's Iraqi music fans. A leading cleric has decreed that "emo" is satanism. Probably wouldn't be hard to find American clerics to second that opinion. In fact, rock and roll has been "the devil's music" since Ike Turner recorded Rocket 88.
Unfortunately for Iraqi emo fans, unlike in America, when a cleric in that country calls you a satanist, there are lots of devout followers who immediately see it as their duty to kill you.
And that's what's been happening. Tight jeans and spikey hair is enough to get you killed. The death toll is into the hundreds.
Barber shops are reporting record trade and baggy trousers are selling out.
Long live rock and roll!
