I noticed today that there is no update on the independent report that Iraqi resistance offered peace to the Americans.
Until yesterday some blogs and newspapers are still circulating the report [check: crooks and liars]
An update reported by Islamemo on Friday that “’20 revolution Brigades” denied offering any peace with the Americans.
“Abu Salam Al-Zobai” one of the senior leaders of the Brigades said that Iraqi resistance were surprised by the news adding:
Our option is the armed resistance, it is the only language we can talk with our enemy, until they withdraw from our land. All statements issued not directly by the Brigades, will be considered as lies and attempts to undermine the Iraqi resistance.

Ibn Khaldūn expresses a great admiration for the Persians and sedantary culture.
It is a remarkable fact that, with few exceptions, most Muslim scholars both in the religious and intellectual sciences have been non-Arabs . Thus the founders of grammar were Sibawaih and, after him, al-Farisi and az-Zajjaj. All of whom were of Persian descent. They were brought up in the Arabic language and acquired knowledge of it through their upbringing and through contact with Arabs. They invented the rules [of grammar] and made it into a discipline for later generations. Most of the hadith scholars, who preserved traditions of the Prophet for the Muslims also were Persians, or Persian in language and breeding because the discipline was widely cultivated in Iraq and regions beyond. Furthermore, all the great jurists were Persians, as is well-known. The same applies to speculative theologians and to most of the Qu’ran commentators. Only the Persians engaged in the task of preserving knowledge and writing systematic scholarly works. Thus the truth of the statement of the Prophet becomes apparent, If learning were suspended at the highest parts of heaven the Persians would attain it. … The intellectual sciences were also the preserve of the Persians, left alone by the Arabs, who did not cultivate them. They were cultivated by arabicized Persians, as was the case with all the crafts, as we stated at the beginning. This situation continued in the cities as long as the Persians and Persian countries, Iraq, Khurasan and Transoxiana, retained their sedantary culture. [4] [5] (note in the Islamic literature there are two Iraq’s. The Iraq-e-Ajam (Persian Iraq) and Iraq-e-Arab (Arab Iraq). The Persian Iraq mentioned by Ibn Khaldun is the historic Iraq-e-Ajam (Persian Iraq) which constitutes the triangle of Isfahan, Shiraz and Hamadan).
