Friday Prayers for the Deaf - Baghdad Bureau - Iraq From the Inside - New York Times Blog

At Friday prayers in Baghdad in early April, Hashem Hadi Obaid provided an energetic sign-language translation of speeches by preachers who follow the radical anti-American cleric Moktada al-Sadr.

In the unrelenting heat of Mr. Sadr’s stronghold in the huge Shiite neighborhood of Sadr City, the 47-year-old interpreter delivered the clerics’ fierce anti-Western and anti-government diatribes in a form readily-understandable by Mr. Sadr’s deaf and hard of hearing supporters.
