I like that. But also remember that Iraq was the most advanced Middle Eastern country before we (the U.S.) tore it to pieces in the name of WMD, Democracy and WOT (War on Terrorism). It had artists, musicians, creative thinking and it also had a brilliant schooling system that was better than anything we have in the U.S. But…

We sent troops and brought religion as a Divide and Conquer tool thus creating extremism. Now we have Kurds in the north, Sunnis in the Middle and Shia’s mostly in the south. Therefore nudity in art is now an insult. Not just from the religious perspective, but also from the fact that these people are trying to “survive” and return to the present after we bombed them into the stone age.

Proceed with Caution: just as we imposed ourselves militarily, we should not impose ourselves culturally and/or artistically. let’s revive rather than impose.
