Kurds rap Abadi for comparing them to Daesh
Minister Haider Abadi
BAGHDAD - Muslimchronicle
Iraq’s autonomous Kurdish area on Friday accused Prime Minister Haider Abadi of “hatred” of the Kurds after he compared their September independence referendum to acts by Daesh.
At a meeting of his Dawa party on Wednesday, Abadi said: “To have maintained Iraqi unity and prevented the crime of partition is a victory as great as that against Daesh.”
“Some people wanted to use the war against Daesh to divide the country and facilitate a separation, but thank God, the Iraqis through their conscience, the Kurds and Arabs as well as the peshmerga (Kurdish fighters) who fought Daesh refused to turn their guns on the Iraqi Army and federal forces,” Abadi said.
“They refused to obey orders ... to fight the Iraqi forces and patriotically obeyed their consciences,” he said.
On Friday, the Kurdish autonomous region’s peshmerga ministry said in a statement that it “regretted” Abadi’s comments.
“His declaration demonstrates the depth of his thinking and his hatred for the people of Kurdistan.
“But history has proven that no one or any force can break the will of the Kurdish people,” it added.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
