Karbala looks stunning mate. So pleased for the Iraqi people that their beautiful country is seeing better days.
Agreed mate love to see it
As a Christian Orthodox member, I want visit one time a Mosque in the Middle East. I wish more people would learn stuff from the other Religion and not spread hate.
respect to you my friend, wish other religious people were as open minded as you. Peace.
I’m sure you’ll be welcomed 🤝
Tigran21 then you should learn more about Islam. As an example: Sahihmuslim 2176a Book 39, Hadith 16:
Do not greet the Jews and the Christians before they greet you and when you meet any of them on the roads, force him to go to the narrowest part of it.
Islam is about hate. The Quran is full of verses about violence and murder: verse 2.193 verse 8.39 verse 9.5 verse 9.29.
Verse 4.34: violence against women.
What about Mohammed, the great example for mankind in the eyes of muslims.
He married Aisha when she was six years old and consummated the marriage when she was nine years old.
He forced his adopted son to divorce his wife in order to allow him to marry her.
According to the Quran, if you leave Islam you must be killed.
I don't tell lies this is a only an example what this "cult" stands for.
Come visit us in Iraq my brother, we have some of the oldest Churches and Mosques for you to see 😊
Don’t go here this ain’t Islam. It’s shiasm
Now they allow photography inside the holy shrine It is amazing and very beautiful 🌹😍
What an amazing place to visit. You are so lucky Ben, the locals are so friendly and welcoming, absolutely loving the videos!
Thank you fellow Ben 🤝😎
Your new friend is taking good care of you. A classy man, and proud of his country!
Thanks for showing the positives of Iraq, think I’ll be going there some time! 😀
Do it 🤝
Welcome anytime 🇮🇶✨💙
What a beautiful country and culture. They have done an incredible job in restoring their land after UK and USA bombed the hell out of it. Next time im in Cyprus visiting my family, i will be sure to take the short journey over to the middle east, and to Iraq especially . Well done brother.
Good comment Andrew I highly recommend a visit 🇮🇶
True
Come visit Iraq whenever you want, it is your second country, Iraq welcomes everyone, we love tourists very much
@@Hhhhzj15 that nice too hear Ahmid. The media here. Still makes out Iraq is some bad place🙁🙄
@@matty6848 Do not believe anything if you do not see it with your own eyes. The media sows discord and enmity. Between countries, we are all brothers in the world, everyone is welcome in Iraq
What a beautiful mosque 🥰

Iraq is beautiful. Keep up the great work.
First love from Iraq 🇮🇶

WOW, that mosque looked amazing all lit up. Wouldn't want to top the leccy meter up though 😂
Fair play to the guy showing you around. Give him a big high five from the UK ✋
Man’s a legend 🤝
Hello Ben , thank you for showing us Karbala .
Thanks for watching
Welcome to Holy Karbala. I am a Shiite Muslim, and I want to tell you that we, Shiite Muslims, love all religions and do not like hatred and aggression. We are always proud when we see personalities of different nationalities and nationalities coming to our holy places and we welcome them with the most beautiful welcome. We love all religions, and in my capacity I am the religion closest to my heart after Islam. He is Christ.... I will tell you a brief about Karbala and why it is always crowded. Karbala includes the shrine of Imam Hussein and the shrine of Imam Abbas, peace be upon them, the descendants of the seal of the prophets, Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace. They were martyred in Karbala while defending the truth and supporting the oppressed. They and the family of Imam Hussein and his companions stood there, and there are some lovers of Imam Hussein from Christ who were martyred for love of Imam Hussein. They stood in front of 72 thousand soldiers of the tyrant Yazid, and it ended with the brutal killing of Imam Hussein and his family. However, the sister of Imam Hussein, Zainab, stood in front of the tyrant Yazid in Syria when they imprisoned the women of Hussein, to say to Yazid the tyrant, “You have not erased our remembrance, nor killed our inspiration, while we remain, and here now we find that God Almighty has given In this time, Imam Hussein and his family are in great status. As for Yazid the tyrant, no one knows where his grave is.
Another great video. Thanks for sharing Ben. I had no idea Iraq was this cool. Looking forward to future videos.
Thanks for watching mate 😎
Very enlightening Ben! Kindness is given when received my friend and you are definitely proving that too be true…keep up the great work. Your videos are informative, interesting, and entertaining. Thanks.
Much appreciated!
i live in UK too mate ...thinking to do a solo trip to Iraq after your videos :) ...interesting
What’s stopping you mate? Get it done ✅
Hi from Melbourne Australia mate 👍.

Wonderful people I’ve learnt something from these vlogs 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💜💙💜💙💜
Glad you enjoy hopefully more decide to visit

Thanks mate 😎
Thanks Ben for interested Video. Would love to visit iraq one day.
welcome
Thank you for opening my eyes
No problem! 🇮🇶
Your videos are brilliant Ben. Very unique for a foreigner to be in Iraq like that and what an adventure. Amazing.
Cheers Tim mate

This is a live show of acting and singing for the sake of Imam Ali. There are a lot of songs, poetry and plays in this place in particular, all for the sake of religion or for the sake of Imam Ali and the family of Muhammad, peace be upon him. This is not the specific season for it. These shows are usually in one month in the year
Thanks for telling me 🙌🏼
Nice one mate..i want to get there so bad man..ive lots of Kurdish good mates here in Nottingham and will go there soon👊💯
Thanks mate! Awesome place
Love that noise you make Ben ..Hooo Hoooooo ! Hahahahahaha love it ! So funny mate .😀 thanks for taking us with you .It is such an amazing world and I love seeing how other people live.
Alan partridge 🙌🏼
I really appreciate the responses to the followers and you advise him to visit Iraq ❤❤.
My pleasure 😄
You're videos are getting better than Bald's mate, keep going bro, really enjoy your uploads 👍
Jesus that’s some statement 😝 thanks mate! Think I need more females involved though
I suppose hard to get females involved in places like Iraq and the Middle East as a whole . A mans world.
It would be amazing to see this place in a day with less crowd. Still great what an experience!
WOW! That was an extremely busy place and we were having bets that you didn't get your bag back! We thoroughly enjoy watching your videos and you are my wife's fave at the mo. We've even got or daughter watching them as we all find them fascinating and we actually see the 'real' side of where you're visiting rather than what the media try to portray these places.
I am expecting BALD to suddenly turn up though, that would be hilarious.
Appreciate you all watching 🤝 glad you enjoy! I’m sure you’ll see bald again in future videos
Another great video Ben, well
Done mate - beats camping in a freezing tent.
When will you bring out the pink t-shirt again mate ?
Pink shirt is coming mate don’t you worry 😎
#bringbackthepinktshirt
ur thumbnails are great despite their simplicity, keep going mate!
Cheers bro 😎
Hello
You are so lucky man. 🤩
Thanks for sharing your experience. 🙏🏻
Have a great time. 🥰
Thanks! 😃
you should get some business cards with your RUclips channel on them ben, dish them out to locals you meet!
Nahhh so cheesy cringe 😆 hate that
Great video
Many thanks 🙏🏼
Now that was an experience a unique one! It's not always that crowded though.
best time to go?
Sounds like you got back just in time as it's all kicking off now in Baghdad
Yes go to Basra , there are the best Iraqi and most hospitality people and most nice people in Iraq

He says welcome 😂
🤍👍 هلا بك
@Backpacker Ben There is a subtitle on RUclips😂
Beautiful Mosque, the crowds are a bit overwhelming though. Do you know the meaning of this procession?
Absolutely no clue what was happening
the Prophets' close relatives are buried in them, the one in Karbala and the one in Najaf, his grandson and cousin i believe. Very important to Shia Muslims. They mourn their deaths as they died as martyrs.
Shiites of Imam Hussain
Thanks for sharing Ben no way i could do that id have a panic attack too many people
understandable mate, was crazy there
Around 3 weeks from now , 14 million people will converge on Karbala, talk about panic attack and social phobia 🤣😂🤣
Beautiful culture
Loving this video Ben! Please come to Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦🙏🏻❤️
I’m thinking of coming in September! A good time to go??
I’ve worked in Saudi Arabia. Cool place except when the shops shut for prayer time in the day. But the people are lovely. Not what our media make out🙁🙄
@@matty6848 it is actually not mandatory for shops to close during prayers times anymore
@@BackpackerBen I don't think it cools until November/December
@@Ali.Yousif is it not? I thought it was law for all businesses to close during prayer in Saudi Arabia? Everywhere I went and worked all shops were shut in prayer time..
Been to An Najaf too!
👏🏼
I spoke with you in this video 😊
ah yes! nice bro! thank you
Welcome to Iraq, I'm a friend of Ibrahim. We lived together in Norway a few years ago. If you need any help, I'm happy to help you
what a great guy he was!! thank you bro
hope you enjoy Eid 😊
Thanks! And you bro
@@BackpackerBen well i think you enjoy eid very much there but mine was boring i was just at my home alone
This place is the second most sacred place in the Islamic world. Muslims from all over the world come to Karbala and the largest gathering of people in the world returns. It broke the record in many years. This is not strange, but the strangest thing is how all these people are safe. There are many and many people in a place One can imagine the same people or half of them in America or the West. Will they be as safe as Iraq?? I don't think at all that there will be safety for the same people in America or the West, but in Iraq it is 100% safe, and this is not seen in the Western media. That's why we appreciate it, Ben. You endured all this scrambling and trampling on your feet for the sake of filming 👍🤍 You are really a hero
That’s some comment bro thank you 🙏🏼
@@BackpackerBen Dont listen to this shiite Ben, this place isnt a considered a sacred in the islamic world. The three holyiest places are Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem. Nowhere in Islam does it say to visit this place and perform pilgrimage, What you experienced isnt Islam but Shiaism which is a diffrent ideology. This shiite is spreading lies.
@@officalpctechno You are part of the problem as to why Iraq cannot heal from its wounds. Such Sectarianism is a hurdle to peace and democracy.
@@officalpctechno
The second holy place for Shiites you can be sure of the books and the clergy
No it’s not. For Shias yes but not for Muslims. 2nd is masjid al aqsa
Beautiful
🤝🇮🇶
Hiya Ben
Fantastic Vlogs sir brilliant presentation & well explained & brave
Showing true life & how nice you are 👏😘
Great people 👏🏼
Visit the Assyrian villages in the north. I'd be really interested in seeing the videos.
I’d love to go back
It may be becasue we have had the fear of covid for a couple of years but all i could think when watching those huge crowds was one cough/sneeze and its over for everyone lol
That never crosses my mind thankfully
Brilliant!
In 2009 I was part of detail to provide security for the pilgrimage to Karbala.
Interesting mate. Seems safe now which must be good to see ?
Tôi yêu đất nước và con người Iraq 🇮🇶, luôn nhớ ơn tổng thống Saddam Hunssein ! Tình yêu từ Việt Nam 🇻🇳

Just a normal boring bloke bit like myself. Travelling to places we are brain washed not to go. Good watch I like it!
Welcome to my country, Iraq
Now that is a once in a lifetime experience.
🤝 absolutely
Go to Al-Mansour Street 14 Ramadan
In Baghdad?
@@BackpackerBen yes In Baghdad
You are the man young ben lad, what a stalwart you are pal. Big time respect to you for all your travels & how strong a man you are. A real legend, you are a rock pal.
What a time to be there! If you dont mind me asking, what were they doing in the mosque?
Youre being the only white man in the sea of people on Iraq land, all safe and sound, really speaks volume on how bad the media portrayed us Muslim. Thank you Ben 🥲
I have no idea 😂 my bad
And no problem 😁
@@BackpackerBen haha its okay!
Hello... let me answer your question Most likely, this day when people are crowded is Thursday, and people used to visit on it because it is considered a blessed day and in a holy place where it is desirable to pray to God Almighty to meet needs.
A white man is still a man. If it was a white woman filming, she'd be gang raped and/or stoned.
Hey Ben, I want to visit Baghdad, do you have perhaps contact numbers of an iraqi tourguide.that can show me around please, one that can be trusted as Im a solo woman traveller. Liesl
Hello, my friend. From Iraq, I know many Iraqi tour guides and they have great knowledge. They are even famous on Instagram. If you would like me to help you, I have nothing to prevent you from communicating with them. Welcome to my country, Iraq, at any time 💙🌹✨🇮🇶

Have you seen or visited sadaam Hussain's palaces?
Nah I didn’t bother
Was tired of all the check points
Welcome to my country .....hope you enjoy it there in Baghdad 😊..
Hope you see come and visit my city erbil
I can be your tourist guide and show you many beautiful places of my city .
I go erbil bro you’ll see soon in my video 👏🏼
If you're still in Erbil i would like to invite you for a kurdish meal 😊
I left last week bro but thank you :)
Good evening!

Whenever you are back in the UK, Could you show us how is it like the nightlife in the UK?.
Trust me it’s nothing special 😆
@@BackpackerBen haha come on, how bad can it be?. I bet it is great. Well, maybe it is just me that as a "British lover", I find everything that comes from the UK fascinating, especially the history and heritage.
Btw, your videos are also great!.
Nice job bro 👍
Cheers!
Looks nice.
Ben where are you going next? 🤗
Secret ;)
@@BackpackerBen ok 👏👏👍👍🤗🤗🤗🤗
Well Ben, how does it feel to be one of the herd?
Chaos 😆 wanted to leave
Just to let people know who probably don’t know too much about Islam but the predominant Islamic sect in Iraq is Shia Islam which is not traditional Islam (Sunni Islam). Just after the 6 min mark when they strike themselves, this is something only shias do. It is actually not encouraged/prohibited in Islam to hurt your body - they have different practises to Sunni Islam. Not here to cause controversy, just to inform people who may be confused.
I’m very confused 😂 had no idea what was happening
Actually many sects within the Sunni sect of Islam do self-flagellation but they are usually labeled "infidels" & "Sufis" by today's definition of mainstream Sunni Islam.
These Sunni sects usually fear going public with their practices out of fear of being attacked by the extremist within their Sunni sects who are influenced by other sects of Sunnism such as Wahhabism, Madkhalism, Qutbism & Salafism.
I have studied & researched the diversity of Islam back in university but it amazes me that many average Muslims don't know much outside what they have grown up with at the time they are alive.
@@georgekhoury9954 show me one Hadith or passage from the Quran that encourages self-harm or self-flagellation. I'll be waiting forever lol.
@@youcantseeme4636 I am not a Muslim so I don't care about who is more Muslim than who. I just wanted to educate about the diversity within Islam that is being suppressed by the extremists who sadly happen to be too dogmatic, anti-intellectual and ignorant about their own history and religion.
This lack of education about their own religion is a tool for western intelligence agencies (also Intel agencies of their regional proxy regimes) uses uneducated average Muslims in their own countries to send them to Iraq/Syria, use them in the geopolitical chessboard to get rid of them so they don't commit terrorism inside Western countries inside US regional proxies (Saudi, Israel, UAE, Qatar...) but only inside Iraq, Syria, Libya and Yemen.
هذا لأنك لاتخبرهم بأن بن بنت نبي الإسلام قتلوه هنا وقطعوه تقطيعا وذبحوه وقتلوا كل عائلته التي هي عائلة وحفيده الحسين نبي الإسلام حتى الطفل الرضيع ذبحوه واخذو نساءه سبايا ويجلدوونهن بالسياط من قبل اتباع الامويين الذي هو دين السنه لماذا لاتخبر عن هذا لأنك من اعداء اهل بيت النبي محمد
Do you think at the height of the troubles Iraq was as bad and as dangerous as we were led to believe and has made an incredible recovery or do you think it was all blown out of proportion?
Absolutely during the war
Iraq under Saddam and before Iran Iraq war was the most developed country in Arab world with free health, education and a treasury filled with money . Even during Iran Iraq war they continued to build highways and new projects were raised
.Saddam, A dictator who oppressed 70% of population , killed hundred of thousands of Iraqis and used chemical weapon against own population , not to mention that he started two wars and paved the way for the invasion of Iraq and following chaos and confusion.
Iraq has made an incredible recovery , Kurdistan is more developed than the rest of Iraq . Having said that I must admit that Iraq before Iran Iraq war was more developed than now but they are on the track to better times.
2:56😂 omg
Why does the London accent make people sound like Pee-Poo? 🤣😂😅
Pee poo 💩 🧐
ASelem a3leykoum discovered the mathematical security of the Koran and I therefore prove scientifically that Islam is the religion to follow and that the sunna is authentic, on the other hand it will take a person who speaks French to translate. I don't speak English, I hope you'll like it. you can understand even without speaking french but it's harder
46 Degrees??? I wouldve passed out for sure lol
I nearly did 😩
Can't really fault that room for $25- I've stayed in worse B&Bs that cost more!

I am Iraqi and I avoid these crowded places :) I would have a panic attack.
Totally understandable 😆 it was way to busy
Mate what's the chance of buying a pork chop & cold beer there?
Buy a plane ticket to a decadent country first....
Zero chance 🤷🏼♂️
@@FahadFSA good answer 👍🏻
stupid question, but why didn't you place your shoes in your bag?
Have to be done outside before you enter the mosque then bags go inside mosque
The people seem incredible and warming but the lack of women freely waking around and sometimes completely absent is a big concern and putting a dampener on Iraq for me?
You do see it in Baghdad
My idea of a nightmare being that cramped with crowds.
Chaos 😆
♥️🇮🇶
:)
I wonder where Ben will be going next? 🧐 Maybe Mongolia 🇲🇳? 😁
You’ll see in September 😎
Please put Arabic subtitles on your videos
that would take hours sadly
No, there is a program that will translate videos automatically once the video is downloaded to the program

Why don't you tell him that this is Imam Hussein bin the daughter of our Prophet Muhammad and his father is Imam Ali and he and his whole family were killed for the sake of Islam and even his infant child was killed and slaughtered.
