Valley of the Wolves: Iraq Page #5

---

or the loser is,

you are the only

victorious and

the only sovereign

who rules it all.

Allah, you're the

one who even let

our Prophet Mohammed

take the test of defeat.

You never

behave cruelly,

we have believed in and

affirmed your clemency.

We have

tormented ourselves

by not uniting

in your path

the desires of our egos,

oppressing ourselves in the end.

Because we behaved

cruelly to each other

now our enemy

is oppressing us.

My Allah! Give us shelter

from the oppressors

and from your

wrath as well.

We have been ignorent,

have become sinners,

then convicted, and

finally defeated.

We weren't awoken by

the wisdom of the Quran

and The Sunna

(Prophet's Way)...

so you've awakened us with

the assaults of our enemies.

Now, grant us the

ability and power...

...to repel

these assaults,

and confer us

conscious patience

and perseverance,

my Allah.

Allah! ln reverence to

our blessed Prophet

who brought us the

religion of peace, lslam,

do not let us abandon

his jurisprudence

and morals that

he remained

true with utmost

care even in times

when he had no

choice but to fight.

Tell them that

we have guests.

You must

not sit here.

lt's not safe.

You can be spotted.

l am stuck in here

because of Sam.

He is oppressing people

and l can't do anything!

Sam is doing

nothing new.

His oppression has

nothing to do with you!

Nobody could want him

killed more than me!

However, we have no choice,

but to show patience.

How did you learn

to be that patient?

The life has taught me the

unbearable part of patience;

and my Sheikh taught me

the bearable part of it.

Sheikh?

Abdurrahman Halis Kerkuki.

He brought me up.

What about

your parents?

l have never

seen my father.

And, when my

mother died,

l was too young

to remember anything.

He brought me

up just as he did

all the orphans

and the homeless.

What is your greatest

ambition in life, Leyla?

Before, l had

only one dream:

l used to close my

eyes, and imagined

breathing my last

breath in this land

while staring

at the stars.

That was my

only dream then.

Now?

Now, my only desire is

to stab this dagger...

... into that

scoundrel's heart.

Only then will l be

able to understand...

... if he's also got

a heart or not.

And then l can

die in peace.

lf l prevent you from

realizing this desire...

... will you be

angry with me?

Chief, how will we

get on a moving train?

When it slows down

we'll jump on, Memati.

ls there nobody in

charge of the piano?

lf there is, we'll

shoot him down.

What about the

gun's noise?

Then we will not shoot him,

but throw him off the train.

No, we can't! They

would realize it then.

- Hopefully nobody is there.

- lf God wills!

lt's coming.

Keep a protective

eye on our visitors.

Don't get distressed

over the high number

of requests and complaints,

,and don't get annoyed.

lt's neither your,

nor my home.

But belongs

to the homeless.

All right,

Sheikh!

Remember...

Patience doesn't mean

to bow, but to struggle!

l'm sick of this Sheikh.

The Turkmens, the Arabs they

all go to him to ask for help.

And his closest

men are Kurds!

Who is this Sheikh,

for God's sake?

He descended

from the Prophet.

All people

respect him.

l don't care about

his descendance.

lf he is trying to spoil

all that l had done here,

then he is the chief

of terrorists to me!

Please don't

say so, sir...

lf Abdurrahman Halis

Kerkuki weren't here,

who would look after the

orphans and the widows?

Who would help the

unemployed, helpless people?

Then everyone

would be terrorists.

lf he is that good,

then he shall be the

president of lraq!

l have been telling

you for years that

this man is dangerous.

But you have always

defended him!

Now tell me:
Who

do you side with?

Me or him?

What do you

benefit from him?

l don't benefit

from anybody!

Get your men

ready, now.

The Sheikh will

be arrested.

Yes sir!

l am not going to

take part in this, sir!

Excuse me?

l can't hear you.

Speak slowly!

My father, my grandfather

and his father,

even my grandfather's

grandfather got our bread there.

He freed us from the

tyranny of Saddam.

l can't point

a gun at him.

He would

paralyze us!

Paralyze you?

You mean this

man is a wizard?

No, no sir. You know

nothing about him.

l've learnt enough.

Thank you.

l think this

meeting is over.

We would like

everyone to see,

what happens in the end to

the American occupiers of lraq.

Unless the Americans, Brits,

and Jews go away from lraq,

we'll behead them

all one by one.

Lord, please save me.

l don't want to be killed!

What are you

doing here?

Whom are you

imitating? Whom?

Are you trying to act

like the puppets

who work for

those oppressors?

Our Prophet never

committed such acts.

Then who taught

you about this?

This guy is a henchman

of those murderers,

he is a journalist.

He is not innocent!

What?

Are you Allah...

... to know who is

innocent and who is not?

He may be cruel could

be a liar as well.

lf your heads are

to be chopped off,

he might even

say that

''Muslims are butchering

each other'',

while taking your photographs

with a great enthusiasm.

But how can you

regard such cruel things

as suitable for

you? How?

Stand up.

Stand up!

Take this.

Behead him.

Chop his head off!

Do whatever your heart

tells you. Come on!

l'm just a journalist.

Do you understand?

Thank you.

Thank you

very much.

Darling, you are

mine at last.

You should

be proud.

Groveling bastards!

What's that noise!

Will you stop that please?

l don't want any noise.

Thank you!

l'm trying to do

some practice.

Stop playing football,

today is our lucky day.

lt's eid!

You should

have seen it.

That murderer's house

has collapsed on him!

The house has

come down on him.

God!

Thank goodness!

What does she

say Abdulhey?

Sam was killed.

ls that true, chief?

You gotta leave

this place.

l'm not going

anywhere!

He is dead now.

What's he going to do?

Can his filthy soul

disturb me?

Leyla, the hardest

times are yet to come.

The superceding

officer might find out

that you have gotten

in touch with us.

How can he?

Leyla, somebody must have

seen you and Erhan together.

Are you still

sitting here,

while the kids

are chanting,

Turkey is proud of you

outside screaming.

Don't interrupt Erhan,

we are talking.

You don't even understand

what they say.

Will you be safe

with the Sheikh?

Why?

l'll notify

our neighbours.

They were going to

send us a food supply.

Stop, mother!

Abdulhey...

We've got to be

sure he is dead.

Disguise yourself

and go downtown.

And find a

vehicle for us.

Are you proud

of Turkey?

Are you proud?

Erhan, get the supplies

off the vehicle.

All right, boss!

You can have a rest.

Does your Sheikh come

for the morning prayer?

- Certainly, he does.

- Okay.

- l'll wash my face there.

- All right.

- Selaam Alaikum.

- Alaikum Selaam.

Where from?

- From the city.
