For Muslims, Christians and Jews Iraq is a holy land. It was the birthplace of Abraham and the land where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers once watered a garden, called Eden, where the first man and the first woman dwelt. So, in a way, we are all Iraqis and Iraq is the homeland of all humanity. Archeology reveals that Summer and Akad, the region between the two rivers, is the place where the first crops were domesticated, the first cities were established and the first words were written. So, for people of all faiths and none, Iraq is the cradle of civilisation. The Iraqi people have contributed immeasurably to the world and they deserve peace and prosperity in the future.
