A teacher was beheaded in france earlier this month for showing images of the prophet to students in a lesson on freedom of speech. Following a murder and memorial service, micron said france would not give up its cartoon he is up for reelection in two years and many see the rhetoric as slanted towards a domestic audience vying for right wing vote but Muslim Leaders say it is hate speech.

Over half of the iraqis eligible to cast their ballots have registered so far after a tumultuous year marked by widespread protest and crises. The election offers the chance to bring about the change people are demanding. Hope that it will be more transparent than in the past and the choice will be better. Hopefully, there will be genuine change after all we have suffered. The Prime Minister called for early elections after mass demonstrations toppled the previous government. To placate protester demands for better representation, parliament passed a new election law last december. It abolished party lists which had allowed parties to sweep up all the votes in a given province in favor of individual candidacy. It also divided electoral districts with each district electing several candidates. But it is uncertain whether these changes will help new parties get a foothold. I believe it has become more difficult for small parties, because as you know, it is in their interest to garner support from people across the country and even outside iraq if there are no violations that iraq as a single district is good. Voting on the demarcation of electoral districts is underway in parliament. The boundaries of the district have been subject to fierce debates as incumbent parties try to protect their interests.

One party announced its formation on the anniversary of the movement october 5, claiming it represents dozens of movements across southern iraq. After a series of meetings, dialogues and strenuous efforts we announced the emergence of the october front. But the party does not appear to represent the youth that used to be the engine of the protests. It is there vehicle for the future. They are still, i dont want to say hesitant, but they dont see the value of coming here and showing their faces. They dont believe in Political Parties and dont see any benefit. With the protest crowds becoming ever thinner, the pressure on the political establishment is waning.
