I was a close friend of a man from Mosul while at the University of Denver. He hung around with other followers of Islam at the University of Denver but many of these men were from various Arab countries in the Middle East. They had different attitudes and views towards materialism (consumerism) in the US, Israel, pornography, gays, women's interaction with other males, and various other subjects like Kurds.

He was a fellow student in the Masters Program in Librarianship at the University of Denver.
