But wait, what is that flag? Isn’t that the old flag, the one with “Allahu al-Akbar” written between the stars, supposedly in Saddam’s own handwriting?
According to the CIA website, Iraq has had a different flag since 2004, a flag with Kufic style script.

But it looks like all types of scripts are used on the Iraqi flag, this photo from Al-Jazeera:

The one type of script you don’t see is the lovely cursive scripts. I wonder why that is.

That was my edit, diya (the asterisks). I do write about adult topics, but the site is also child-friendly.

Nijma, First off nice name, and second off Khomayne is a name and so is She3a. She3a is Shi’a in english. it is a religious sect in Islam. and the Khomayne is a religous leader but I forget who.
Just for Records.

We are all Muslim brothers and sisters so what’s all this about?
We should support each other as one!
But the Islamic nation like to fight amongst each other, thats why we are so behind in the world……………
