chattels: There are mixed beliefs on how one observes Muhammed's birthday. Some people see the Prophet's birthday as an event worthy of praise. Others view the celebration of birthdays as contradictory to Islamic law.
 
Both sides cite the Hadith (narrations originating from the words and deeds of the Prophet Muhammed) and events from Muhammed's life to support their views. Mawlid, or Milad, is celebrated with large street parades in some countries.

chattels: TIME TO FOCUS ON THE WARS WITHIN THE WAR AGAINST THE ISLAMIC STATE MICHAEL KNIGHTSDECEMBER 21, 2015 : In Iraq, the solution is arguably simpler, and Washington is already broadly on the right track.
 
The United States needs to continue providing the strongest backing for Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, a moderate and a reformer, and for the Iraqi Army, still the most respected national institution in Iraq and the key potential balancer to the Shia militias.
 
Washington must not abandon Baghdad and attempt short-cut solutions that undermine Abadi and play into the hands of the militias, such as directly arming the Iraqi Sunnis and Kurds.
 
Washington can still help Iraq to put in place a strong military chief of staff under which command is increasingly unified. The United States can support Iraq in its quest to receive IMF and World Bank funding to weather the storm of its economic crisis.
 
And the U.S. military can ramp up its airstrikes to visibly help Abadi to deliver further battlefield victories in Ramadi and Mosul. http://ift.tt/1PiT0Hq...
