Allah's gonna be pissed

Over the last few days I've made friends with a few Iraqi soldiers and an interpreter. Today they gave me a complete Iraqi Army uniform which was pretty cool. I'm not sure what I'll do with it, but it's kind of a neat souvenir to take home when this is all over with. One of the Iraqis saw a tattoo I have on my arm and wanted to know where he could get one. I brought him a tattoo magazine that a friend of mine had and the soldier picked out a picture of a heart with a dagger through it as the design he wanted on his arm. I guess there is a female medic around here someplace who tattoos, so I'm going to try to introduce them. The interpreter told me that tattoos are forbidden by Islam and that the soldier would be in trouble if he went through with it. I asked him why he wants one if it will get him in trouble. He told me that he didn't care if people were angry, it's his body and it's his decision. Fair enough. I’m not sure how I feel about contributing to his cultural rebellion, but I’ll probably do it anyway.
