O believers, take not Jews and Christians as friends; they are friends of each other. Those of you who make them his friends is one of them. God does not guide an unjust people. - 5:54
O you who have believed, whoever of you should revert from his religion – Allah will bring forth [in place of them] a people He will love and who will love Him [who are] humble toward the believers, powerful against the disbelievers; they strive in the cause of Allah and do not fear the blame of a critic. That is the favor of Allah; He bestows it upon whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.
O ye who believe! if any from among you turn back from his Faith, soon will Allah produce a people whom He will love as they will love Him,- lowly with the believers, mighty against the rejecters, fighting in the way of Allah, and never afraid of the reproaches of such as find fault. That is the grace of Allah, which He will bestow on whom He pleaseth. And Allah encompasseth all, and He knoweth all things.

[5:51] O you who believe, do not take certain Jews and Christians as allies; these are allies of one another. Those among you who ally themselves with these belong with them. GOD does not guide the transgressors.

Wassup Saints friend! Thanks for chimin' in and you are right, some things we learn about other cultures/places does make us appreciate living here more, and I am reminded of the freedoms I have taken for granted at times.
I have seen a cool doc on metal in Baghdad, and yes it's kinda crazy. There electrical power is out more than on and metal is frowned upon like you say.
That is cool some soldiers chipped in for a guitar.

The more we learn about others, the more we understand ourselves, don't you think?

anyone else who plays guitar into a tube amp will understand.
the SOBs never will.
