Anybody have any history books dealing with Iraq, specifically cults and such. The last few days my platoon's had run-ins with these folks who have facial tattoos. It kinda looks like a tower, but with a crack running down the middle.

Thanks in Advance.

Well, depending upon who you ask, I think most would consider HAMAS, Hizbollah, and the like to be cults or sects of Islam. Although neither seem to be operating in Iraq, there is nothing that says that cannot be there if for no other reason than moving personnel or guns around, recruiting, whatever.

As far as the tatoos, I have no idea about that. Perhaps they are not humans. I have seen plenty of aliens that can pass as humans, at least until you really start to investigate them.

I got a history geek friend who might come up with something.

Seeing as Messopotamia has been the home to pretty much every organized and unorganized religion to appear in the last 8000 years are so, you could be dealing with almost anything.

I'm surprised nobody thought of this sooner.

You're near Babylon and you're dealing with guys who have the symbol of a broken tower? Does this remind you of anything?

In case I do have to connect the dots, go check out your GI bible, look for the Tower of Babel

Better yet, look for a Psychologist! Your obviously shell shocked or suffering the stress of combat fatigue and your seeing things. Get help before you hurt someone, there's enough tragedy in that part of the world right now and you dont need to add to it.

southern iraq does not mean babylon nor anywhere near the suspossed site of the famed tower...

southern iraq means shi'ite wasteland and sand in areas that you never thought sand could get
