The new Iraqi flag
Apparently, the new flag design for Iraq has not been well received by the Iraqi public.
 What do you think?

I wouldn't want it either. It's ugly.

Well, it does look similar to the Israeli flag...

Yes it does look a little like the Israeli flag....Who'd have thought it? Fancy the Iraqis not appreciating their new Israeli like flag ...*sigh* The dominant colours on most Arabic flags are red green and black....

Fundamental colors of Islam are red, green, and black. None appear in that flag.

But when you hear why the flag is what it is, it sounds sensible enough: The crescent is for Islam, the blue stripes are for the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers and the yellow stripe is for the Kurds.
And yes, Bruce, the color of the crescent is UN blue. The IGC apparently came up with this flag...a signal, perhaps? |

So they're calling the Kurds yellow-bellied cowards?
Wait, no -- two rivers, then a yellowy-gold stripe. Urine! |

Sorry, but it looks like something from a cruise ship.
 Simliar colors, too.
