An Uber driver in Washington, D.C., fled to the United States hoping to escape the violence in his native Iraq. After nearly catching several bullets over the weekend, Omar Al-Furaiji has concluded that he has simply traded one war zone for another.
The Blaze WTTG-TV reported that Al-Furaiji was driving near the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in downtown Washington over the weekend when his Toyota Highlander SUV was struck by a hail of bullets.
Video captured by Al-Furaiji’s dashcam shows the driver and his passengers ducking amid the crackle of gunfire. A vehicle with tinted windows can be seen slamming into a dumpster behind the Uber. Those inside bail out, with at least one opening fire on persons off-screen.
He showed NBC News bullet holes in his windshield, stating, “This is supposed to be my head, if I didn’t bend down or lay down.” One bullet reportedly cut through the left side of his seat. Another slammed through his headrest.

A lot of Iraqis are turning infidel. I don’t know why but it’s everywhere.

What do you mean?

That Quran burner in Sweden was an Iraqi refugee. Wherever there is an ex-Muslim movement, lots of Iraqi men and women are involved in it.
Iraq is home to several ISIS factions and other radical Islam groups. So maybe that has pushed many of these youth, particularly those living in the West, to renounce Islam altogether.

There were actually two Iraqi refugees who burned the quran in Sweden. One was an ex-Muslim, not sure about the other.

His mistake was to move to a Democrap hellhole, which DC is. Hope he can relocate to a more peaceful place.
